• Done Deal: California Gets A Grand National!

    The following is from AMA Pro Racing...


    AMA Pro Racing, California Bike Week and Gene Romero's West Coast
    Flat Track Series are proud to announce the addition of an
    unprecedented event to the 2009 AMA Pro Flat Track schedule. On October
    24, 2009, the AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Championship and Gene
    Romero's West Coast Flat Track Series will co-headline the largest
    motorcycle flat track race on the west coast at the lightning-fast
    5/8-mile race track at the Pomona Fairplex in Pomona, California during
    the 2009 California Bike Week festivities.

    AMA Pro Flat Track
    will return to the Southern California market for the first time in a
    decade, with the AMA Pro Grand National Championship Finale being held
    in conjunction with Gene Romero's West Coast Flat Track Series, the
    well established West Coast Series that has run two successful and
    exciting Pacific Coast National events in 2007 and 2008 as part of
    California Bike Week.

    California Bike Week is a three-day
    motorcycle rally and lifestyle event will be host to a variety of
    features including the Harley-Davidson Road Tour, Harley-Davidson Demo
    rides, music concerts, stunt shows and over 250 vendors, and will
    culminate with the 26th Annual Love Ride, an organized motorcycle
    charity ride that raises millions of dollars for the Muscular Dystrophy
    Association and other worthy children's causes. Last Year's Jay
    Leno-hosted event saw a number of well-known celebrities join tens of
    thousands of riders for a sixty-mile jaunt from Glendale
    Harley-Davidson to the Fairplex for a concert by top recording artists
    Foo Fighters & ZZ Top.

    "We could not have found a better
    place to wrap up the 2009 AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National
    Championship than California Bike Week in Pomona," said Mike Kidd, AMA
    Pro Racing Flat Track Director. "We're excited and honored to be
    joining Gene and his series and look forward to a powerhouse night of
    racing. Gene is a true legend of the sport and not only did I race
    against him, but I rode for him as well when he was the Team Manager at
    Honda. I'm really looking forward to wrapping up our series on the West
    Coast at this prestigious event."

    "I spent my career riding in
    AMA Pro events and won 12 AMA Pro Grand Nationals," added Romero. "I
    have owned and operated the West Coast Flat Track Series for fourteen
    years and I'm looking forward to our season finale at the Fairplex on
    October 24th. I'm thrilled that we can join forces with AMA Pro in
    co-sanctioning this prestigious race and I look forward to seeing all
    the competitors gathered together under the lights."
