AMA round 8: The New Jersey Lottery Devil's Showdown

There is more AMA racing this weekend.  But, here are the results of the most recent event.  The New Jersey Lottery Devil's Showdown, was run at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey, two weeks ago, on the weekend of September 13th-15th.  In the Superbike class, Josh Herrin for Monster Energy Yamaha, took the win in the first race, which ran for 19 laps.

Yamaha swept everything at NJMP except probably for the Harley Davidson spec XR1200 class.  In the 11 lap race for the heavy iron, it was Steve Rapp (a former Superbike racer), taking the victory.

All of this, leads into another AMA race this weekend, which is the finale for the AMA season.  They are racing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, on the Monterey Peninsula, along with the FIM World Superbike Championship, who are running their U.S. round this weekend, back at Laguna Seca after being at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah, for a number of years. 

Results of both of those races will be posted in separate blog entries, when they can be received, and in AMA, we will crown champions and look forward to next season.  Stay tuned for updates from Laguna Seca.  So long for now.
