2007
USA International Raceway of Shawano, Wisconsin and the Marathon
Off-Road ATV/Motorcycle Club of Wausau, Wisconsin announce today a partnership to bring Motocross to the world famous Central Wisconsin racing facility.
Located between Green Bay and Wausau on Hiway 29, USA International is one of the premier Kart
racing venues in North America. The raceway was
designed by Kenny Venberg,
who is vice president of the World Karting Association (WKA). With the addition of
professional Supermoto
Motorcycle races, USA International has become one of the finest Supermoto tracks in the world having hosted two American Motorcyclist Association Supermoto National events, featuring championship
riders like Doug Henry, Jeff Ward, Kurt Nicoll, Jurgen Kunzel and Troy Herfoss. Supermoto is a form
of Motorcycle racing that incorporates the best of Road Racing and off-road
Motocross, and the USAIR Supermoto “dirt section” is
where Marathon Off-Road will go to work.
Marathon Off-Road
ATV/Motorcycle Club has been promoting AMA Sanctioned and “Outlaw” motocross events in Central Wisconsin
since 2000 – both at stadium venues and outdoor competition areas, including
the Wisconsin State Quad Championship. Starting with the summer of 2008 Marathon Off-Road will be promoting AMA and
non-sanctioned Motocross events at USAIR.
The Motocross portion of the 7-day a week racing facility will also be
open for unlimited practice. MOR is also
pleased to announce that in September of 2008 the Wisconsin State Quad
Championship will find a new home at the Shawano track.
Racers new to the USAIR
facility will find it nothing like they’ve seen before! Transponder (lap time) scoring, amusement
park amenities, blacktop pits, showers and a swimming pool! Not to
mention several smaller Go-Kart tracks and the full-on excitement of the mile+
long Pro Kart Track. And all of this
just on the edge of the Shawano city limits with hotels, chain restaurants and
services almost within walking distance.
