Getting off to a rocky start after crashing through a mile-marker pylon, Yates went on to salvage the outing, setting his first FIM/AMA record on Tuesday with a 196.421 mph LSR in the &#8220;over 300kg class&#8221; (the team also ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/chip-yates-retires-land-speed-records-bonneville/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The He Said, She Said, But No One is Really Saying Anything about the Virginia International Raceway Snafu</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/ama-pro-racing-virginia-international-raceway/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/ama-pro-racing-virginia-international-raceway/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 13 Jul 2011 21:46:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AMA Pro Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[contract]]></category> <category><![CDATA[contract negotiations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[negotiations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[VIR]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Virginia International Raceway]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=23487</guid> <description><![CDATA[AMA Pro Racing and the Virginia International Raceway have been having a war of the press releases the past few days, as it was announced that AMA road racing will not be taking place at the fabled mid-Atlantic track later next month.

On-site for the Mid-Ohio round of AMA Superbike, Geoff May will pilot the EBR 1190RS for the first time in a race, as the team (and the public) have been anxiously waiting to see the debut of the new Superbike and its bounty of extra horsepower.

In 2010 Josh Hayes and Tommy Hayden finished the season only 14 points apart, Hayes claiming the number one plate for Yamaha with 466 points. But 2011 got off to a different start altogether with Hayden’s teammate, Blake Young, winning both Superbike races at Daytona and leaving Hayes and Hayden ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/photo-of-the-week-tommy-hayden-infineon/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>About as Close as You&#8217;re Going to Get to an Apology for the AMA Pro Road Racing Daytona 200</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/close-apology-ama-pro-road-racing-daytona-200/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/close-apology-ama-pro-road-racing-daytona-200/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:22:19 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2011 Daytona 200]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AMA Pro Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[apology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Daytona 200]]></category> <category><![CDATA[explanation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[letter]]></category> <category><![CDATA[statement]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=19947</guid> <description><![CDATA[To call the Daytona 200 anything less than a disappointment might be fighting words in some circles of motorcycle race fans, and at best the race was a dismal start to the 2011 AMA Pro Road Racing series. From that day's events, speculation and criticism have surrounded the Daytona 200, its multiple red flags, shortened race distance, and other events that unfolded over the course of its running. Looking to address those criticisms, AMA Pro Racing has issued a lengthy reply and explanation of how the events unfolded behind the scenes, both in regards to stopping the race for a tire change and regarding repairs to Jason DiSalvo's motor.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/close-apology-ama-pro-road-racing-daytona-200/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>14</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Top 15 Motorcycling Roads According to AMA Members</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/top-15-motorcycling-roads-ama/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/top-15-motorcycling-roads-ama/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Mar 2011 16:55:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[American Motorcyclist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[American Motorcyclist Association]]></category> <category><![CDATA[best roads]]></category> <category><![CDATA[best routes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[list]]></category> <category><![CDATA[roads]]></category> <category><![CDATA[routes]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=19872</guid> <description><![CDATA[The American Motorcyclist Association has taken nominations and votes on where the best motorcycling roads in the United States are located. With over 100 roads were submitted, the organization's 230,000 person membership voted on the entries via the AMA's website (although were not told how many actually voted). With the tallies finally in, the AMA has chosen 15 routes in all, with some honorable mentions as well. With an equal showing of roads in the west coast, Rocky Mountains, and southern states, the AMA's list also includes roads in the midwest and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, seemingly leaving not region unaccounted for in the results.
