WERA Chief Criticizes AMA
WERA chief criticizes AMA
The arrogance of the AMA never ceases to amaze me, says Clarke in a letter addressed to AMA President Rob Dingman and published on WERAs website.
WERA worked with the AMA to run the RRGC from 2000 to 2007 with Evelyne Clarke handling the gridding, timing and scoring while her husband Sean Clarke filled the role of race director. Earlier this month, however, the AMA announced that it had decided to hand the operational duties for the RRGC to CCS, WERAs main competitor.
WERA Motorcycle Roadracing has been around for 30+ years and our history is rich with the names of AMA Champions, says Clarke. WERA Motorcycle Roadracing stepped up and worked with AMA to make this event better (which we did) and in 2007 WERA Motorcycle Roadracing had a co-sanction agreement with AMA Pro for our National Series which benefited the AMA with new members, and this is the way we get repaid for trying to work with AMA.
Clarke, who recently reached an agreement to assume full ownership of WERA, says WERA will continue to develop future stars of American road racing.
