AMA Doubleheader, Elkhart Lake, WI 2006
by Toni & Chris
|
The annual AMA Superbike Doubleheader
took place the first weekend of June at the famous Road America racetrack in
Elkhart Lake, WI. A number of RAT members attended the races over the
three days, and several even camped onsite over the weekend. Chris and
Toni even participated in the daily Parade of Motorcycles, which allowed
everyone to ride their street bike on the actual track. The races were thrilling, especially watching to see if Ben Spies would win his 7th in a row, shattering Duhamel's record. Matt Mladin was there too in an effort to thwart his 6 race losing streak, and he did just that winning both races. |
