CCS Florida Contingency Reminder Attention CCS Florida Suzuki Riders:
Heartland Park Results Pending Audit Attention Great Plains and Mid-West Riders: Due to scoring hardware issues at the April 25-26 event, all results from Race 2 at Heartland Park will be audited before points are assigned. This audit is to insure that points awarded and the results submitted to our sponsors are correct. The audit is expected to be completed by May 3, 2009. Since the problems were discovered after results posted at the track were final, trophies awarded will not change, it is an audit to correct points and results only. Any changes made to the results that were posted at the track will be announced on this page. We apologize for the inconvenience and feel that riders would agree it is better that we get it right.

After three years with the company, Eric Kelcher has resigned his full-time position as Director of Competition with ASRA/CCS.

Red Flag Fund Ceases Operations Press Release (March 16, 2009) - The Red Flag Fund board of directors recently voted to end operations of the Red Flag Fund charity and donate all remaining general funds to the Roadracing World Action Fund and other non-profit charities that support the motorcycle road racing community and their families. The decision was made after plans to install a new fund manager fell through. "The day-to-day work of running the Red Flag Fund can be overwhelming," said Red Flag Fund co-founder Jeff Kufalk. "Frankly, it's like having a second full-time job, and without an operations manager, the fund cannot go forward. On behalf of the Red Flag Fund board of directors, I want to thank our sponsors who donated items for auction, those who purchased Red Flag Fund auction items and other merchandise, and all those who volunteered to help along the way. It was a tremendous effort, but assisting seriously injured road racers when they needed help the most was a rewarding experience we'll never forget." Red Flag Fund, Inc. was a non-stock, non-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable company formed in 2006 to provide financial assistance to seriously injured motorcycle road racers, as well as educate motorcycle riders on the importance of proper safety gear.

February 15, 2009 - The American Sportbike Racing Association would like to announce a new addition to the www.ASRARacing.com website, The ASRA Channel! With the explosion of video posting websites, we found it was hard to track down the racing videos you really wanted to see, so ASRA has made it easier for all its racers, crew and family members. To kick things off, we've posted our video highlights from the 2008 March Daytona event and we will be adding material as it's received. All you will need to do is submit your road racing production to ASRA/CCS in any standard video format (.mpeg, .avi, .wmv, etc.) either on CD or DVD, with your written permission to use it, and we will do the rest! (Of course we ask that material be suitable for all ages, since this is a family-orientated sport.) For more information, check out The ASRA Channel at www.theasrachannel.com or click through the link on www.ASRARacing.com.

The event will offer $87,500 in prize money over two days of racing. The Michelin U.S. Motorcycle Championship will be co-sanctioned by both WERA and CCS/ASRA, and will comprise three classes recognized by both organizations: 600cc supersport, 1000cc superstock and Thunderbike/Twins.

"This is the first time that WERA and CCS have come together to sanction a single event," said Bernard Jarrousse, Michelin North America's director for motorcycle road racing. "We want to provide an opportunity for regional racers who compete on MICHELIN® racing tires to test themselves against riders from across the country, and to possibly finish the 2009 season with a big payday." ...
