I rode the Reno race back in 2005 and that was pretty close to some dangerous stuff like people and Casinos. It was really fun having the painted cross walks mid most of the street turns. With that said it was pretty fun to ride. I remember there was a high speed L/H turn at Copper Mountain and the inside of the line was railing for the side of a road in the rain. Good Times...

I see they tend to layout a lot of these courses on the infields of car ovals. I wouldn't get on a track like that with a bike, ever. Not with bare concrete retaining walls inches away. Just stupid. Isn't that how Henry was injured last time? Slid out coming up the banking and had his body thrown into the wall?
The reason Doug crashed was because a guy (squid) took off his fuel catch tank (not my product) that was not vented properly making his bike run bad. It dumped a bunch of gas on the track and 2 other riders almost ate it just before Doug. Jason Conlon was inches from the same wall.

There has been a big push for Air Fences since Anthony Hart paid the ultimate price.

If you can please donate.

Ping does it again!

Ping always shoots from the hip and tells it like he sees it and his BIG 8 page article on SuperMoto past / present / future is a must see article in the NEW January Racer X. If you are in any way involved with SuperMoto get this magazine when it hits the stands in a few weeks or sign up for the $14.98 on line version at [url]http://www.racerxonline.com[/url] as this is a must read.

The January Racer X issue is not on the news stands yet but the on line subscription version is up.

Couple nice features on APA MX products in this Christmas issue too.

Is ama supermoto even still around? 

I ride/race supermoto. The official AMA Series has been gone since 2009. 

There's still the SMEC Series which is AMA sanctioned (racesmec.com). 

There are clubs out there. I live in the PNW so we have Northwest Mini Moto and Cascadia Supermoto. 

There's also a Norcal series. I'm sure it's the same way throughout the US, club racing. 

It's too bad because SM is just as fun (or more fun) than moto. Highly underrated.

I did a couple track day on a DRZ400SM, loved it so I drove 8 hours to get this. It is nasty!

The Duel at the Docks supermoto race at the Queen Mary in Long Beach in 2006 was one of the coolest races I’ve been to.

There was a bit of a resurgence in Australia - A very cool annual event was run on closed inner-city streets in Newcastle for a few years - the promoter eventually went bust.
Some Supermotos racing at tar only road race events, and in SEQ “Minimoto” practice days at Kart Tracks there are sometimes enough Supermotos for 2 groups.

I enjoy the tar only events in my old age. We used to have a few meetings a year at a little track that really suited them.
I also have a fire breathing Husky 701SM that is my favourite street bike. And I’ve tracked it a few times - a bit heavy for racing.
