Erion Racing Appeal Denied
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -The
American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced that the appeal by Erion
Racing to overturn the disqualification of Josh Hayes in the Daytona 200 has
been denied per the 2008 AMA Superbike Series Rulebook, Section A5.
"The AMA rulebook states that
a Category 1 equipment offense is defined as 'an equipment violation that could
potentially or effectively enhance the performance of a motorcycle used in
competition,'" said Bryan Cohn, Senior Director of AMA Racing. "After a complete
review of the appeal information provided by Erion Racing and a thorough
investigation of the process applied to the crankshaft in question, it was our
judgment that the process applied to the crankshaft of the #1 machine of Josh
Hayes resulted in the enhancement of performance found in the form of increased
lubricity, reduced friction and enhanced durability."
Erion Racing was informed of
the AMA's decision on Friday, April 4, 2008.
