PARTS UNLIMITED TO SPONSOR URBANCROSS AT AMA SUPERMOTO CHAMPIONSHIP
23 August 2004 - AMA Pro Racing
AMA Pro Racing has announced that Parts Unlimited will become title sponsor of UrbanCrossÔ sections at the AMA Supermoto Championship.
UrbanCross is a series of metal jump ramps that create motocross-style obstacles. UrbanCross elements debuted at the Dallas, Texas round of the 2003 AMA Supermoto Championship and were used again at the championship finale in Las Vegas, Nev. AMA Pro Racing is planning to feature UrbanCross obstacles at all rounds of the 2004 series. AMA Pro Racing’s Supermoto Series Manager, Chris Bradley says the UrbanCross sections of the track add to the appeal of AMA Supermoto. “In addition to the normal paved and dirt sections that are found at supermoto tracks, we add the distinctive UrbanCross elements. The result is an improved show for fans and more interesting track layout for the riders,” said Bradley. “The UrbanCross elements allow our track designers to create a more challenging track for the racers as well as helping us differentiate AMA Supermoto. We’ve noticed similar elements at other supermoto races as track designers recognize their value.” Bradley also thanked Parts Unlimited for their support of the series. “We are delighted to have Parts Unlimited help us bring UrbanCross elements to all rounds of the 2004 AMA Supermoto Championship,” said Bradley. “We also appreciate Parts Unlimited bringing their support of motorcycle racing to the new and unique world of AMA Supermoto.” “We’re happy to be involved with AMA Supermoto with this program,” said Jeff Fox, President/CEO of Parts Unlimited. “Our philosophy is to ‘support the sport’ and we see AMA Supermoto as one of the most exciting things to hit motorcycling in years. Supermoto’s growth potential is tremendous and we want to do what we can to see it succeed.” This is the second year of the AMA Supermoto Championship. AMA Supermoto track layouts consist of both dirt and pavement and combine elements from motocross, flat track and roadracing. The seven-round championship will begin this weekend in Copper Mountain, Colo., and conclude in Las Vegas, Nev., in November. For more information, visit www.AMASupermoto.com.
