Star Racing dominates in European Pro Stock UEM Championship |
HOCKENHEIM, Germany - George Bryce and Star Racing are making headlines in the European Pro Stock UEM Championship through their involvement with this year's champion team, Sovereign Racing. Sovereign has not only won every race completed with their two Star Racing-prepared, S&S powered American V-twins, but the team has also set track records and helped the sport to grow in Europe as the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class enjoys an increase in 2011 participation.
Sovereign, the self-titled first Pro Stock team from Hungary, is made up of racers Rasmus Olesen and Jesper Jensen and their crews.
The team has won every race completed in 2011 so far, despite several rain-outs along the way. Their final race will be at the Santa Pod Raceway, United Kingdom on Sept. 8-11.
After strong runs in Hungary, England, Sweden, Finland and Norway, Olesen and Jensen returned this past weekend to take spots in the top three at NitrOlympX in Hockenheim, Germany.
Olesen was the No. 1 pole position qualifier with 7.108/306.08, while Jensen qualified in the 3rd position with 7.170/298.31.
According to eurodragster.com, Jensen's recorded 309.44 kmh (192.28 mph) in qualifying is "the fastest-ever terminal speed in European Pro Stock Bike." Jensen is also currently leading the European point standings at 439.
In addition, Olesen, who is a rookie in the Pro Stock class, had his first career win, first No. 1 qualifier and personal bests for time and speed (7.108/306.08) in Hockenheim on his Star Racing-prepared V-twin.

STAR IN THE NEWS | 
Star Racing and customer Sammy Bonner's bike are featured in the September/October 2011 edition of Motorcycle Bagger magazine. Bonner came to Star to get a complete upgrade for his 2004 Road Glide and the result was "a phenomenal 174-plus hp and a torque curve that exceeds 125 ft-lbs. at 3500 rpm and carries through at 150-plus ft-lbs. from 4100 rpm all the way past 6100 rpm," according to the article.
Motorcycle Bagger also refers to Star Racing as "the de facto epicenter of the motorcycle Pro Stock universe." The article goes on to say, "Over the years, some six NHRA National Championships have been grabbed by the Star Racing team. It has won 78 NHRA national events out of 149 final rounds of competition (and it has done it in every way possible - as a rider, owner, or crew chief). Today Star Racing is a leading motorcycle racing and R&D facility, with engine building, machine shop services, four dynamometers, a Spintron, and CNC-machining centers.
"Basically, if you're in the know, Star Racing is likely the ultimate go-to place for your drag/race bike hardware. Maybe more important, George and Jackie are regarded as the best motorcycle drag racing coaches you can find anywhere," the article states.
For the full article, look for the latest edition of Motorcycle Bagger magazine on newsstands today at your local bookstore or Wal-Mart. |

AMERICUS MOTORSPORTS COMPLEX UPDATE | |
On June 22, George and Jackie Bryce signed the purchase agreement with the Americus-Sumter County Payroll Development Authority for the future site of the Americus Motorsports Complex, to be located on 450 acres across from South Georgia Technical College (SGTC).
In addition to George and Jackie's previously mentioned opportunity to discuss their goals for AMC at SGTC's Annual Griffin Bell Convocation, they have also had numerous other chances to communicate the project's advantages to the local community through the local school board, Kiwanis Club and citizens groups. They plan to continue this community outreach as the project progresses, and we will keep you up to date on the latest AMC news.
AMC has also been a hot topic with government agencies involved in the project.
For full articles and photos from the agreement signing, visit the Americus Times-Recorder or WALB news coverage.
