Very impressive considering Supersport is probably the most competitive class in AMA road racing.

“Very impressive considering Supersport is probably the most competitive class in AMA road racing.”

I believe you are confusing Supersport with Daytona Sportbike. Supersport is however very competitive, but is limited to up and coming young riders under 21 years of age.

I sponsored one of the top riders that now competes in Daytona Sportbike early in his career, Cory West..

- Relatively new SCCA sportscar racedriver Paul Newman in his aging TR6 #75 (bought from 5- time Nationl Champion Bob Tullius’ Group 44) at about 12.40 minutes in this long Triumph You-Tube video - squeezes out a close amazing victory against the new “Group 44” TR7

- Many years later 75 year old Paul Newman won his class in a Ferrari GTB at Daytona
