RACE
CLASSIFICATIONS: Superbike:
Superbikes are racing motorcycles that are
modified versions of four-stroke machines originally sold for street use.
The concept of Superbike racing is very similar to championship stock car
racing - to have machines that are visibly as close to production as
possible while allowing teams the freedom to improve the power and handling
characteristics of the machine.
250 Grand Prix:
The 250cc Grand Prix class features
twin-cylinder motorcycles built by European and Japanese companies expressly
for high speed pavement racing. Typical machines have 250cc liquid-cooled,
twin-cylinder, two-stroke engines designed specifically for road racing.
600 and 750 SuperSport:
The SuperSport Series is a production based
racing program with two classes, 600cc and 750cc. Each class name is based
on the maximum displacement of its four-cylinder engine.
Formula Xtreme:
This series showcases the street-based big
bore motorcycles like the Honda CBR900, Yamaha R1 and Suzuki GSX-R1100 in a
60-kilometer road race.
