Following the announcement of its new road racing class structure

of AMA Pro Road Racing.
Aftermarket parts and equipment in up to 12 different primary
categories are eligible for submission in each of AMA Pro Racing's
road racing championships which includes American Superbike, Daytona
SportBike, SuperSport and MOTO-GT. Applications for air
filters, bodywork, controls, crash protection, drive systems,
electronics, exhaust, frame and suspension components are being
accepted in all four divisions. Brake system parts are
available for submission in all but the SuperSport division,
specific engine components are being accepted in American Superbike
and Daytona SportBike and wheels are a category in American
Superbike. A complete list of the parts and equipment eligible
for submission within each category, in addition to the required
applications and guidelines, are now available at http://www.amaproracing.com/prorace/forms.asp.
"After the announcement of the class structure in the new AMA
Pro Road Racing Series, the process of approving parts and equipment
for each division is the next important piece of business that needs
to be completed in order to go racing next year," said AMA Pro
Racing President Roger Edmondson. "The opportunity now
exists for the top aftermarket parts and equipment manufacturers and
suppliers in the motorcycle industry to become part of the AMA Pro
Road Racing Series and we welcome and encourage all of them to join

each separate category within the four AMA Pro Road Racing
championships will have its own Contingency Awards postings.
