THE MID-OHIO SCHOOL, MOTORCYCLIST MAGAZINE TO HOST RIDER FANTASY CAMP WITH
TEAM YOSHIMURA SUZUKI 

 

DUBLIN, Ohio (August 7, 2006) - The Mid-Ohio School and Motorcyclist
Magazine have teamed up with Team Yoshimura Suzuki to offer motorcycle
riders and fans a one-day Fantasy Camp at the renowned Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course in Lexington, Ohio.

 

This unique, once-in-a-lifetime event will be held at Mid-Ohio on Monday,
October 2, one day following the season-ending AMA Superbike Shootout.  The
camp will provide participants with an exclusive opportunity to ride the
Mid-Ohio road course, as well as interact with Team Yoshimura Suzuki's
riders and crew and the Motorcyclist Magazine staff.  

 

Participants also will receive riding tips and pointers from experienced
track coaches, take part in tire and suspension seminars from Ohlins and
Parts Unlimited and receive a deluxe gift bag and event photo CD.

 

"This is really a dream weekend for any Sportbike enthusiast," said The
Mid-Ohio School Director Steve Bidlack.  "To have the opportunity to see the
top riders in the AMA Superbike Series duke it out at Mid-Ohio in the season
finale, and then actually hit the same track with the Suzuki team on Monday
is something truly special.  We're thrilled to partner with Motorcyclist
Magazine, one of the top publications in the industry, to bring this dream
to life for all the fans who participate."

 

To be eligible for the Fantasy Cap, riders should be comfortable riding
on-track and must have attended an on-track program within the past two
years.  Two groups of 30 riders will be assigned according to their
experience level and each group will get a total of three and a half hours
of track riding time.  This event is not open to first-time or novice
riders.

 

The cost is $495 per person, and includes VIP access to the AMA Superbike
Shootout, held September 29 - October 1.  More information is available by
