I rode to the AMA Superbike Showdown today, what a blast! The weather was perfect and there was plenty of action. Bonus for me was that it was 85 miles each way, so the roundtrip was the perfect distance to empty my tank so I could install BD43's headlight mod!!
Today was the final day of a three day event. The three final races that I saw were: Superstock (liter bikes), Supersport (600cc bikes), and Supberbike (liter bikes). These bikes are fast and the riders are much machines as the bikes they are riding. It's amazing to watch these races and think about the technical ability and concentration it must take to get the bike to do that.
A Honda, ridden by Jake Holden, won the Superstock race, followed by two GIXXERS. A YAMAHA R6:Sport:, ridden by Ben Bostrom, won the Supersport race, followed by a Honda and a Suzuki. Ben Spies on a GSX-R1000 won the Superbike race, followed by another GIXXER and a Kawasaki ZX-10R. Jason DiSalvo was in 3rd on his R1 for a long time until he missed the chicane and dropped a bunch of positions. The Suzukis were just on fire today.
I had a blast and would highly recommend catching a professional road race if you get a chance.
