NASMOTO/AMA SuperMoto Championship This Weekend
Santa Monica, CA - October 9, 2007 – Racers are checking their oil, fine tuning their set up and blipping their throttle to get ready for the West Coast swing of the 2007 NASMOTO AMA SuperMoto Grand Championship at Pats Acres Raceway, (PARC), on October 14th for the NASMOTO AMA Western Supermoto Championship presented by Pats Acres.
This is the final race of the season and carries with it all the marbles and bragging rights for racers West of the Mississippi. The picturesque 43 acre PARC was built back in the 1930’s and is located outside of Portland in the city of Canby, OR, and will host this exiting NASMOTO /AMA sanctioned SuperMoto event.
We are proud to work with Chris Egger and his team b to promote the NASMOTO GP of Oregon. They have built an outstanding SuperMoto program for the Portland area allowing everyone to participate in this great event.
