Thumbs up Pegram Racing Testing @ Miller

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to update all of our BMW brothers and sisters on our successful test at Miller Motorsports Park. We are figuring out how to handle all of the power the 1000rr is putting out. Things are looking up for the next race in Infineon !

We ended up 3rd fastest overall for the test ! Best of all we were trying out lots of new combinations and tune ups.
Larry says: " The Beast is coming together ! Im looking forward to Infineon and putting the BMW on the podium!"


Josh Hayes on his Yamaha turned the fastest lap at the recent AMA Pro Road Racing test at Miller Motorsports Park. Ringed by snow-capped mountains, Northern Utah's majestic Miller Motorsports Park played host to a two-day AMA Pro Road Racing test May 2-3 that brought in a total of 62 participating riders. All four classes were represented at the test which served as preparation for AMA Pro Road Racing's Round 2 (May 13-15 at Infineon Raceway) as well as for the series' Round 3 return to Miller Motorsports Park, an event at which it will run concurrent with Round 5 of the World Superbike Championship.

National Guard SuperBike Champion, Josh Hayes, was dominant in both days' testing, topping seven of eight sessions on the 3.05-mile, 15-turn "natural road course" configuration. Foremost Insurance Pegram Racing's Larry Pegram headed the one session Hayes did not, but M4 Suzuki's Martin Cardenas and Suzuki teammates Blake Young and Tommy Hayden were an even more consistent presence at the top of the time sheets throughout. Cardenas' times were particularly notable, as the reigning AMA Pro Daytona SportBike Champion has just a single SuperBike race under his belt thus far.

Also showing strongly in SuperBike testing was Jordan Suzuki's Roger Hayden, who returns to the AMA Pro series this year after a difficult 2010 season in World Superbike. At the opposite end of the experience scale from those listed above, Cycle World/Attack Performance Kawasaki's JD Beach used the test to make his debut AMA Pro SuperBike appearance, dropping more than 7.726 seconds between his first and best session to finish with the 12th-quickest time overall.

In all, 21 SuperBike riders attended the MMP test; the top-five overall were as follows:
1. Josh Hayes, 1:50.333
2. Blake Young, 1:50.840
3. Larry Pegram, 1:51.215
4. Tommy Hayden, 1:51.255
5. Martin Cardenas, 1:51.351

Great to have Pegram Racing here on this forum and keeping us updated. Any more plans for a Reality show with the BMW?

Good luck with the testing and racing.
