Round 6 |MotoAmerica Superbikes at New Jersey | SEP 11-13

All times are Eastern



The current weather forecast is looking iffy

Are they allowing spectators for this round?

 

Bummer Andrew Lee won't be there since it looks like they have the ride sorted and ready to go.

Paasch gets the win in SS (he knows this track very well) with RE close in 2nd. CB runs away with SBK.

Now on to what matters: I got Rocco in the Twins cup and Sam Wiest to get a top 10.

As to spectators, they are selling tickets and advertising, so I would say there will be spectators. With that said, NJ still has some strict rules about a 14 day quarantine when coming into NJ from certain states. I believe NC, SC, MD, VA, WV, OH, and DE are all on that list. Will the Police be there enforcing it? Doubtful if the locals will but who knows if the State Police will show up and make a stink for those with out of state plates. Remember this is a state where you are not allowed to pump your own gas and if you are filling a gas can it has to be the right color.

 

Going out on a limb eh?


As far spectators, I think im going. Hope the weather is good.

 

Really????

 

Yes. The State Police have also busted people for speeding in the pit lane, apparently that part of the track is considered part of the highway or something like that.

 

I assume SSP will be business as usual. Xavier Zayat should be into the top 5 easy and trailing the leaders. Since it's BPs home track I think he'll be chopping it up with SDK while Escalate runs away.
Stk1000 grid is a lot smaller than I expected. Usually there are some locals but even Mesa isn't on the entry list.
SBK business as usual. Probably a yamaha lockout of the podium. I hope to see Kyle Wyman battle for the podium. The Ridge was rough.
Twins has the largest grid by we all know that class isn't important

 

RE over Paasch, Beaubier to crash out in a race, PJ to race and win STK 1000, RL sweep

 

Here I could have sworn HSBK made an announcement that PJ was out for the year and it looks like he's registered for both the SBK and Stock1000 races.

 

They did the same in PA for PittRace even though they never got approval for their plan. PA gov hasn't been quite as strict as NJ but pretty close. I expected to see something about it in the news afterward but nothing ever came of it. When we left the track, the state police were directing traffic.

 

In 2018, we only had one dry day, and Tyler Humphries set the pole at 1:29.0 Then it rained.
2019 I don't recall what the pole was, but the boys did 26's in the race.
2020 I hope they wait until at least Q2 before breaking that record!

 

And then there is the earthquakes

 

I believe NJMP was KW33's best ever finish in SBK when he was on the R1, so looking for him to make some waves this weekend.

 

Hopefully his shit luck doesn't continue.

 

Rocco was riding at the CCS round this past weekend and was doing pretty well.

 

Where did you see this? All the posts I've seen other than yours still look like he'll be there.

 

Yes. I heard one guy had 2 five gallon blue VP jugs he needed to fill. He luckily also had a 2 gallon red can. He had to have the attendant fill the red can like 5 times dumping it into his VP jugs between each fill up. Crazy stuff.

The Great Book of Motorcycle Road Racing truth otherwise known as Roadracingworld.com says Barber, not NJMP:

It even says it in the first post of the thread on here else where.....he's only slated to do the Baber round later this month, not the NJMP round.

 

Press release said they will be at Barber. The weekend after https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/motoamerica-andrew-lee-making-superbike-debut-at-barber/
