Geico Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Previews AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Series Round at Road America



















The newly renamed AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Series heads to it's original roots this weekend as Road America will again host the Geico Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Series and the class that got it's start at the Elkhart Lake, WI. facility as a support card event during the 2010 season.

With the H-D factory just 60 some odd miles down the road in Milwaukee, Road America was the perfect choice to host the series' first event when the powers that be at AMA Pro Road Racing were considering adding a support event to their calendar, and in the form of the spec series based on the Milwaukee iron and alloy that is the XR1200 mount.  In the series first season three years ago, five support events were held in hopes that enough sponsorship and interest would happen to possibly add it to the calendar in the coming seasons.

And enough there was and the rest, as they say, was history as the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series was born and added as a full support event in 2011.  Since it's first year of competition, three men have emerged as champions in what is now a full-blown class that has drawn interests globally from supporters and riders alike.  Danny Eslick (2010), Chris Fillmore (2011) and Michael Barnes (2012) all have one thing in common-they have captured the class championship in that series.  And in it's fourth year, the class has been renamed to the AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Series, mainly since the H-D factory discontinued producing the XR1200 model in the States for the 2013 season.

In the shot above taken at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway-hosted 5th Annual Red Bull Indy MotoGP round, in which the XR1200-based class has acted as a support race for what will this year be it's third season, the top-ranked bikes in the XR1200 Series sit at the ready for the weekend's first round of practice on Friday, August 17, 2012.

Michael Barnes #34 KLR Group/Spyke's H-D/Vesrah/GK Motorsports-sponsored mount, along with team mate Kyle Wyman's #33 like-sponsored machine both flank Tyler O'Hara's #29 JCR/Scrubblade/Bartel's H-D/RS Taichi-backed XR1200 in the Gasoline Alley staging area at Indy, awaiting their chance on the track to thrill the legions of fans on hand for the weekend's popular activities.  Wyman and O'Hara would split the victories over the weekend, but at the end of the season it was Barnes who would walk away with the #1 prize and championship.

Thanks to AMA Pro Road Racing for the full press release preview of this weekend's event at Road America, which you can check out below.








AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Series Riders Gearing up for Road America

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (May 30, 2013)The AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Series returns to its spiritual home track this weekend as GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing heads to Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., just up the road from Harley-Davidson's Milwaukee headquarters.
 
Road America also holds the distinction of having played host to the class' inaugural race. The contest took place in 2010 and was won by future AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike star Danny Eslick by a scant 0.055-second margin.  The circuit's draft-friendly straights and wide range of corners has reliably produced spectacular racing from the evenly-matched Harley-Davidson XR1200s ever since, with the largest margin of victory being just 0.157 seconds (including the 2011 multi-rider brawl that saw seven riders take the checkered flag within a second of victory).
 
Last year it looked as if that trend might change after Tyler O'Hara (No. 29 Eco Fuel Saver/ Scrubblade) stormed to pole position with over a second in hand. However, the draft proved to be the equalizer once again, and in the end Kyle Wyman (No. 33 Revolution Performance/Millennium Technologies) emerged victorious, followed by eventual series' champ Michael Barnes (No. 1 Rossmeyer's Harley-Davidson), with O'Hara rounding out the top three.  O'Hara got a measure of revenge on Wyman for that defeat, and on Barnes for narrowly edging him to the '12 crown, at the season opener at Daytona International Speedway this past March.

Nelson.
 
 
O'Hara followed Wyman's last-lap charge up through field on the banking, ultimately making one final pass to steal the win away from his rival. The Californian will be anxious to continue his early-season roll this weekend in Wisconsin and make up for last year's defeat.
 
While Wyman finished on the box in the opener on his Revolution Performance/Millennium Technologies Harley-Davidson XR1200, reigning champ Barnes finished an uncharacteristic sixth in what was his first race brandishing the #1 plate on his Rossmeyer's Harley-Davidson. The veteran racer will no doubt be looking to make some amends of his own at Elkhart Lake.  Travis Wyman (No. 24 Harv's Harley-Davidson) pulled off a minor upset by securing pole position at Daytona. He's also fared well on his XR1200 at Road America in the past, finishing fourth last year, third in 2011, and fifth in 2010, and should be considered a threat to finish on the podium once again.
 
It was a Daytona opener to forget for the talented Suburban Harley-Davidson duo of Steve Rapp (DNF) and Ben Carlson (DQ). The two will be well motivated to fight upfront this weekend, particularly Carlson, who hails from nearby West Bend, Wisconsin.  Former class winner Shane Narbonne (No. 46 Mob Racing) was just a half-second removed from victory at Daytona but still relegated to a seventh-place finish, such is the nature of the ultra-competitive class. The Massachusetts native is yet another potential frontrunner seeking improved fortunes at Road America.
 
If history is any indication, it's likely to be the same story when the series leaves Road America, as the difference between victory and a result well outside the top five could easily prove to be just fractions of a second yet again. 
 
AMA Pro Live will be live streaming multiple channels of behind-the-scenes video of the weekend's activities alongside Live Timing & Scoring.  AMA Pro Live puts fans in the director's chair, allowing them to choose from a variety of viewpoints including track cameras, paddock cameras and a press conference channel.

AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series Review from Homestead-Miami Speedway Sees Michael Barnes Take 2nd Win of the 2012 Season & Take Points Lead Heading to NOLA Finale





















The 2012 AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series is coming down to the final round at the New Orleans Motorsports Park event on October 5-7 and leading the fray heading to the Bayou State is long-time AMA Pro Road Racing veteran Michael Barnes on the #34 KLR Group/Spyke's H-D/Vesrah/GK Motorsports-backed Milwaukee 'V' twin.

Barnes, who has raced anything and everything and just about everyWHERE on two wheels in his over-two decade career in road racing, won his second event last Sunday over title-rival Tyler O'Hara at Homestead by a slim margin of .132 seconds, and leads O'Hara by two points heading into the final race in one week's time (1090-1088), with Wisconsin's Benjamin Carlson sitting another six points back. 

Barnie told me at the XR1200 Indy Test back in August (seen above talking with members of the KLR Group team while his and his team mate's Kyle Wyman's #33 machines get attended to during the lunch break) that he was really thrilled with the way this championship could play out, what with the points having been re-set for the final rounds ala NASCrash and the NHRA's shoot-out championship systems.

"The extra money that the sponsors and Geico kicked in really made this a great deal, " stated Barnes, "and makes it worth the extra effort."  Barnes noted that Geico's advertising budget alone was thought to be over $500M per year, and it was nice to see them come on board to sponsor AMA Pro Road Racing.  "We'd love to see more of that spent here, of course, which could really help the series and road racing overall grow, but are thankful to have what we can in the XR1200 class."

But the fact that at least some of their sponsorship dollars are making their way to any series in the States is big in itself, and will help to sustain some efforts as the economy starts to at least climb somewhat and hold more steady then what it has for the last few years.

Although a lot of riders are still having to pay their way to ride this season, at least a few more teams are starting to return and campaign efforts in some of the various AMA Pro Road Racing classes, and where we are seeing Vance & Hines and the Milwaukee iron making for some great racing in the spec-class championship. 

You can say what you want about the over-500 lb. machines, they have put on a GREAT show since their inception into the ranks of the AMA Pro Road Racing calendar as a part-time effort in 2010 and in their third season have grown in popularity and in average entrants at each event.  And the two doubleheader rounds at Indy in 2011 and 2012 proved to be crowd favorites in terms of close and exciting racing as the undercard on the Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP weekends.

So a big thanks goes out to Geico and the other sponsors in AMA Pro Road Racing for kicking up the ante and we sincerely appreciate what they have brought to the table, and we wish Barnie the best of luck next weekend in trying to wrap-up the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series Championship next weekend in New Orleans.  We'll be rooting for you man!

You can read the full press releas below of the review of the Homestead-Miami round thanks to Geico Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing.








AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series Recap: Barnes Earns Second Win of the Season in Fiercely Fought Race

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (September 28, 2012) -- The AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series delivered yet another barnburner -- or perhaps better put, 'Barney burner' -- at Homestead-Miami Speedway as hometown ace Michael Barnes emerged victorious at the conclusion of a race-long multi-rider brawl.  The weekend was pivotal in terms of the developing XR Showdown for a couple of reasons.
 
The thrilling victory of KLR Group/Spyke's H-D/Vesrah Racing's Barnes over Bartel's Harley-Davidson's Tyler O'Hara has elevated the Boca Rotan resident to a scant two-point advantage lead in the Showdown over Californian O'Hara with just the New Orleans finale to decide the championship.
 
Secondly, it marked the end of the title bid of season-long standout Kyle Wyman. Barnes' teammate, Wyman, suffered a second concussion in the last couple of weeks, the first coming with his huge crash on the final lap at New Jersey Motorsports Park, and the most recent during a Friday session.
 
Wyman will sit out the season finale as a result. The unfortunate turn marks a huge turnaround from the doubleheader XR Showdown opener at Indianapolis, where Wyman grabbed a big lead early with his 1-2 weekend as Barnes and O'Hara struggled by comparison.
 
Besides Barnes' awesome effort to put out the last-lap win over polesitter and laps leader O'Hara, Wyman's brother, Travis, stepped up his game to put himself in the mix in Kyle's absence.

Nelson.
 
 
The Harv's Harley-Davidson entry led at one point and ultimately finished a close third to collect his first podium result of the season.  "It's been a real emotional rollercoaster weekend with Kyle getting hurt yesterday," Barnes said. "It affected the whole team but it made us dig that much deeper, and I know Travis was digging deeper for his brother out there too. He was riding hard. It was hard to out-brake him, but I needed to get by Travis in order to get by Tyler. I dug deep for that one."
 
Suburban Harley-Davidson's Benny Carlson finished with the lead group fourth and remains very much alive in the Showdown hunt. He entered the Triumph Big Kahuna Miami presented by Dunlop Tire and LeoVince leading the points and leaves displaced to third, albeit just eight points removed from the lead.
 
With no other rider within 25 points of the XR Showdown lead, it looks like New Orleans will be a three-rider affair for the title -- although if the season leading up to the finale is any indication, the race for the win could be waged by several others as well.
 
Sunoco "Go the Distance" Award Update:
 
1. Josh Chisum - 1278.64 mi.
2. David Estock - 1248.98 mi.
3. Michael Corbino - 1200.04 mi.

AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series Review From Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP Weekend


















The Geico Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing spec-class AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series made it's second appearance as the undercard over the 5th Annual Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP Weekend from August 17-19, 2012.  This year instead of being 'garaged' behind the museum at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, IMS, Dorna and the AMA came together to have them paddocked in the Gasoline Alley-area of the track, amongst the vendors set up in the garages over the 3-day weekend. 

This made for great up-close glances of the behind-the-scenes action in the 3-year old series that pits race-kitted Harley-Davidson XR1200s against one another in what started as an 'experiment' of five races in the 2010 season into what has since blossomed into a 12-round must-see support event full of action and some great, close racing.  On 500 lb. motorcycles with tricked-out 17" front wheels (part of the $3500 Vance & Hines race kit), overworked trick suspensions and spec tires, fuel and gearing.

Starting with the season-opening round at Daytona, AMA Pro Road Racing revamped the points and money awards into a 'shoot out' for the last four rounds and eight races, ala NASCrash and the NHRA.  Points were reset for the top-10 riders and were evened out when the series arrived for it's round 8 of the 2012 season at Indy, fresh off of a summer break after the previous event at Mid-Ohio in mid-July.

The top-3 riders heading into the showdown had been putting on a torrid fight for the championship coming into the Indy round, with Tyler O'Hara on the #29 JCR/Scrubblade/Bartel's H-D/RS Taichi-sponsored mount leading the overall with 196 points, followed by Kyle Wyman on the #33 KLR Group/Spyke's H-D/Vesrah/GK Motorsports-backed XR with 184 points.  Michael Barnes followed closely in the 3rd-place position on the #34 KLR Group-like sponsored mount to team mate Wyman with 166 points.  Their closest pursuer in the 2012 AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series Championship fight was 61 points in arrears of Barnie (Michael Corbino.)

But Indy arrived and the duo of O'Hara and Wyman split wins over the weekend, with Wyman carding his win in race one and a 2nd-place in race two, and O'Hara 'supermanning' his way to the race two win after crashing and remounting to pull-off a 12-place finish in race one.  Barnie, the veteran of the series by at least 15-16 years over the winning duo, soldiered his way home for a 4-5 finish over the two days' events. 

Wyman leads the points heading into the New Jersey round coming up September 7-9 with 1055 points, Carlson slipped into the 2nd spot with 1046, O'Hara up next with 1040, then Corbino with 1036 and Barnes rounding out the top-5 with 1034 points.  With just six races to go in the season everyone will be hungry to go after a chunk of the $60K payoff in the shoot-out for the remaining rounds at New Jersey, Homestead and New Orleans.









GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Recap: AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Doubleheader at Red Bull Indianapolis GP




DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (August 28, 2012) - The Indy GP weekend was a chance for the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series to shine on a big stage. With a massive crowd from all over the globe keenly watching, one of the most historic venues in the world hosting, a $50,000 weekend purse on the line, and the $60,000 XR Showdown finally underway, there was no way there wasn't going to be fireworks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the doubleheader.
 
But even with the excitement, money, significance, and talent (with a number of proven roadracing stars joining the regulars to get a piece of the action) all ratcheted up, few expected this.  Saturday's opening leg ended in dramatic fashion.
 
Skillful youngster P.J. Jacbosen, a former class race winner and AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike podium finisher now racing in Europe, made a one-off Vance & Hines XR1200 Series return at Indy riding for the MOB Racing/K Tech/Orient Express/Moroney's outfit. He immediately made headlines by leaving the class' established top-three usual suspects in his dust in qualifying, grabbing the pole with a second-and-a-half to spare.
 
Jacobsen appeared poised to school the field in the race as well, pulling clear to a four-second advantage after one of the winners of last year's Indy races Tyler O'Hara (JCR/Srubblade/Bartel's Harley-Davidson) fell off the chase -- literally -- crashing out of what had developed into a two-man scrap for the lead in the early going.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tyler O'Hara #29 leads Benjamin Carlson #45, Kyle Wyman #33 and Bobby Fong #30 during race two of the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series round at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway round of the Red Bull MotoGP Weekend on August 19, 2012.  AMA Pro Road Racing photo by Brian J. Nelson.
 
 
However, Jacobsen then unexpectedly fell himself. His fall was followed by several others, as soon the track was a scene of mechanical carnage and red flags, with fallen XRs crashing into previously fallen XRs.
 
The race was stopped and ultimately called complete due to oil that had been laid down on the course, causing the multi-rider accident in the first place.  Jacobsen was initially tabbed the winner but an extensive review made evident the fact that Jacobsen's machine had caused the red flag and as a result, he was moved back to tail-end of the lead lap in the official results.
 
That meant that KLR Group/Spyke's Harley-Davidson/Vesrah Racing's Kyle Wyman was elevated from runner-up to race winner, giving him a huge early advantage in the XR Showdown over luckless rival O'Hara, who crashed twice in the race and finished a lowly 13th (he also fell in the pile-up and believes he crashed initially due to fluid from Jacobsen's machine as well).  Surburban Harley-Davidson's Benny Carlson and XP Motorsport's Michael Corbino rounded out the adjusted podium, while title contender Michael Barnes wound up fourth while making another team transition, racing as teammate to Wyman on the KLR Group/Spyke's Harley-Davidson/Vesrah Racing team.
 
Sunday was all about redemption. Jacobsen appeared to be in line for it, racing out to an early advantage, but his impressive corner speed and lean angles came with a risk. O'Hara was unwilling to take that same gamble and allowed his young rival to escape, which proved wise when the leader crashed out while holding a near-two second advantage as the race approached the halfway point.
 
O'Hara was all too happy to take the reins and he powered to a lopsided win of his own, which he wrapped in his trademark 'Superman' fashion at the checkered flag.
 
"It was really awesome," O'Hara said after his bounce-back win. "I felt like (Saturday) I got a little bit unlucky that we were able to restart the race after the red flag. I had some bad luck, and that's not a good way to start the chase. So now, my goal is to win every race here on out to stay in the hunt. It's going to be tough no matter what.  P.J. was riding awesome, and Kyle and Benny were up there. P.J. tucked the front and crashed, and I just put my head down. I built up a nice gap and was just monitoring the gap through my pit board.  It's just awesome. From yesterday and how it went, to rebound like that feels really good. This place is really special to me -- I got my first win here a year ago and, ever since, it's just sort of been a blur."
 
Despite not showing the outright pace of Jacobsen or O'Hara during the weekend, Wyman was the weekend's big winner. He edged out Carlson and ringer Bobby Fong, a one-time AMA Pro GoPro Daytona SportBike race winner, in the fight for second and boasted an immediate commanding lead over season-long rivals O'Hara and Barnes following the first two of five XR Showdown races.
 
Wyman has 1055 points, 15 up on O'Hara, who is ranked third, and 21 up on Barnes, who is fifth following his 4-5 weekend.
 
Commenting on Saturday's wild ride, Wyman said, "Tyler went down three or four laps in, and I was thinking I was in a pretty good position. P.J.'s not in the chase, and I had a gap back to third, so I figured we'd start settling in. But I looked up in Turn 10 and saw P.J. on the ground ahead of me and before I knew it, I was on the ground too. It's not the way you want to end the race, but I can't say enough about my KLR Group Harley -- it was working great. We've had a little bit of a struggle trying to find the chassis set-up with the tire change last weekend. We're making progress, and I'm glad to get a result."
 
While Jacobsen, Fong, and former AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike star Steve Crevier, who finished fifth and seventh, at Indy, were big name wild cards who made their presence felt over the course of the weekend, Carlson only felt like one.  The former AMA Supermoto Unlimited Champion quietly slipped into the XR Showdown by taking the tenth and final spot into the five-race shootout. But riding loose and confident at Indy, Carlson demonstrated that he must be considered a threat to win the title.  
Taking full advantage of the title reset that put the ten Showdown finalists even at 1000 points prior to the IMS weekend, Carlson showed the ability to dice with the likes of Wyman and promised more to come following his breakthrough 2-3 weekend.
 
Carlson said, "(Saturday) was kind of a gift, but today I think we earned the podium position. I think we had the speed to get second place -- I just had a little trouble getting off the corners and getting down the straights. Kyle is a bit lighter than me, so he gets down the straightaways pretty good, so the only option I had was to go really deep on the straights, and I did that four or five times. We battled all race, and I had a lot of fun."
 
Corbino too worked his way into the mix with his Saturday podium, which he followed up with a Sunday sixth, putting him fourth and ahead of Barnes in the Showdown standings.  Harv's Harley-Davidson's Travis Wyman is sixth following Indy with a pair of eighths, followed by Ruthless Racing's David Estok who took tenth and eleventh place finishes on the weekend.  O'Hara's teammate, Josh Chisum, Kuryakyn/Racing for a Wish's Gerry Signorelli, and Ruthless Racing's Darren James all suffered through rocky starts to their XR Showdown bids.
 
Meanwhile, non-Showdown qualifiers Barrett Long (Longevity Racing) and Shane Narbonne (Teterboro Rams LLC) enjoyed relatively strong weekends, notching up 11-9 and 9-10 results, respectively.
 
AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Series Extends Through 2014
 
AMA Pro Racing, Vance & Hines and the Harley-Davidson Motor Company announced on Saturday that the Harley-Davidson spec racing class will be extended for the 2013 and 2014 seasons in the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing Championship.
 
Continuing with the Harley-Davidson XR1200 platform modified with a spec racing kit from Vance & Hines, from 2013 onward, the class will be renamed as the AMA Pro Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson Series.

GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing will bring the full show to New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ on September 7-9 for the American Red Cross Devils Showdown presented by Team ProMotion.
