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."
