The sixth NASMOTO regional qualifier is slated for Reno-Fernley Raceway
in Fernley , NV
in conjunction with the SMUSA Vet National on August 18th and
19th and will include a full slate of racing including motorcycle, ATVs and the
inaugural Vet Class National Championship.
“We are excited to partner with
Supermoto USA
and combine our qualifier with the NOR-CAL Championship
Series,” stated Ted Baker, NASMOTO VP. “There organization is the strongest and
largest attended in the country. It offers fans a chance to see some of the
SuperMoto stars of tomorrow developing their skills today.”
Racers that are fan favorites include
youngster Joey Pascarella and a new challenger Michael Corbino. At the beginning
of the year Corbino got a win in the 250 class and Pascarella is looking to
settle the score in Reno .
Californians, Casey Yarrow and Vincent Gusande Jr., are both lightening quick
and are making a name for themselves in the 450 class. In the last race at
Altamont Raceway Guisande dominated the main event by taking the hole shot and
never looking back. Yarrow is planning to change his fortune in Reno and fans can expect a show at the
front of the field.
This is a big weekend with team races
kicking the weekend off on Friday, August 17th with NASMOTO and SMUSA Vet
National Championship races following on Saturday and Sunday. The racing card
includes one of the strongest mini programs for both adult and kids with five
classes slated for minis and five slated for the vets.
Highlighting this exciting racing
program is the one-off National Championship for the over 35 racers, which
provide bragging rights for the entire year. “The Veteran Class is the largest
growing SuperMoto segment with significant number of racers coming back into
racing after a 10 year or more absence,” said Brok McAllister . “We are also
seeing guys come in from Motocross and Road Racing because the racing is tight,
fun and easier on the body.”
The Reno-Fernley Raceway is one of the
nation’s most exciting venues with a elevation changes and smooth as glass
racing surface, a radical serpentine uphill section that requires maximum power
and savvy motorcycle handling skills and a rumored two dirt sections with table
tops, whoops and banked turns. The 1.5 mile track is the longest on the circuit
and will test the mettle of all the racers.
