This is the first time the AMA’s Pro Grand National Twin Flat Track Series has been in Southern California in a decade. All the top riders and teams will there. The climactic, season ending AMA Pro Grand National Flat Track event will held in conjunction with Gene Romero’s West Coast Flat Track Series, the well established West Coast Series that has run two successful and exciting Pacific Coast National events in 2007 and 2008, as part of the California Bike Week, a 3-day rally motorcycle lifestyle event that features; The Harley-Davidson Road Tour’s twelve 53 footers, H-D Demo Rides, Music, Bike Shows, Stunt Shows, The Wall of Death, 250 venders and the Love Ride, the single largest motorcycle one day motorcycle ride on earth.

“The 2009 AMA Pro Grand National Flat Track schedule has been a long process to complete,” said Mike Kidd, AMA Pro Racing Flat Track Director. “There has been a great deal of planning and we knew there were still further improvements from our original schedule. Our flat track series is now hitting Daytona Bike Week, Indianapolis MotoGP weekend, Sturgis Rally and the California Bike Week which are four of the largest motorcycle events in the nation. Throw in the Springfield’s, Lima, Peoria and our other events, this is a great schedule for our fans, riders and sponsors. We’re excited and honored to be joining Gene and his series and look forward to a powerhouse night of racing. Gene is a true legend of the sport and not only did I use to race against him, but I rode for him as well, when he was Team Manager at Honda…I’m really looking forward to this event and wrapping up our series on the West Coast”

Added Romaro, “I spent my career riding in AMA events, and won a few of those AMA Flat Track Championships. I got my own west coast series now and am looking forward to October 24th, I think my guys and Mike’s are going to put on a great show. The only problem will be those hot dog people aren’t going to do too well this year, as I don’t think you’ll see a single fan leaving their seat. Get your tickets early, as this is going to be a sell out. I’m running races in Lodi, Perris Ca, Lebanon Or, Placerville Ca and Banks Or to name a few…I think my guys will be rearing to go come The Pacific Coast Nationals. We put on great Pomona events in 07 and 08 and this will be the best one yet. So there’s no confusion, we’re combining forces for this one monumental night, if you’re riding in my series, you’ll be riding in Pomona”

“Gene puts on a great show and fans were on their feet from the first green flag to the last checker last year. We’re looking forward to great action and a great event in October. The AMA returning to Pomona with Gene, the CBW and as a part of the 26th Annual Love Ride, is huge news and we’re beyond excited” Oliver Shokouh, Love Ride Founder

“Gene Romero is a part of the CBW’s family, having been with us since the beginning. Our 07 & 08 events were fantastic and we know that 2009 will be better still. We’re excited about building on our two previous years, by adding the AMA’s, point paying season finally…Southern California has always been home to some of Flat Track’s greatest history and riders…the history, now continues, by the amazing addition of Mike Kidd’s AMA Grand National Flat Track Series” John Paliwoda, California Bike Week
