THREE-TIME 500cc ROAD RACE WORLD CHAMPION WAYNE RAINEY
P74
Interview
ON MOTOAMERICA 2020
"We had our first test back at Barber back
in March, then the pandemic hit, and
everybody knows what happened then.
We had everybody sheltering in place.
Us being a motorcycle racing series, we
must have spectators, so that's been a
challenge. When we do start to go back
racing, we're going to be in compliance
with the national health guides.
"We have no World Superbikes at La-
guna Seca this year, so our event is going
to be a standalone MotoAmerica race.
We were very, very excited about it. The
pre-ticket sales, hospitality sales are up 75
percent from what it was last year. We are
going to have a hill climb where guys on
street bikes are going to be riding up the
hill. That's never happened before at La-
guna Seca. There's going to be a baggers'
race that Harley and Indians are going to
be riding in. There's going to be a
motorcycle show, a Heritage Cup,
a carnival for kids, plus a learn-
to-ride program. We were very
excited about it." CN
