AMA Superbike coming to New Orleans!
AMA Pro Road Racing season will come to a close at America's newest racetrack, with the Big Kahuna New Orleans scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 5 - 7, 2012 as the first professional motorsports event to be held at NOLA Motorsports Park. The track, which was designed by Alan Wilson, is located just 20 minutes from the historic French Quarter area in downtown New Orleans, La.
The state-of-the-art facility features excellent areas for spectator viewing and is focused on making motorsports accessible to a broad range of enthusiasts across all facets of the motorsports community. AMA Pro Road Racing will hold the season-ending awards banquet in the New Orleans area on the Monday evening following the event.
Mitch Wright (General Manager of NOLA Motorsports Park) says: "We are excited to be partnering with AMA Pro Racing and M1 PowerSports for our inaugural professional event.
"M1 PowerSports has a proven track record of fun, fan-friendly motorcycle events and the riders in AMA Pro Road Racing put on an incredible show. New Orleans and NOLA Motorsports Park will provide the perfect place to cap off their season and have one hell of a party."
AMA Pro Road Racing competitors will have the opportunity to check out the new tracks before the respective event weekends in a set of official series tests. In an effort to reduce the costs associated with traveling to these tests, each will be held following an event in the same region. NOLA Motorsports Park test will be held soon following the event at Barber Motorsports Park,so after Jan. 26 look for a chance to see some fast superbike testing going down before the big race!
