Question

How can I become a ama superbike racer?

Answer 1

If you have a bike, and have some riding experience, start with some trackdays.  Try www.nesba.com or www.teampromotion.com, there are many others depending on where you live.  You may not end up in AMA or MotoGP, but there are many other race orginizations that are fun and more affordable to privateers, such as wera and ccs.

Answer 2

since your asking this its obvious you have no clue to the sport so i doubt your gonna be on the grid anytime

Answer 3

Well are you asking a serious question, or hypothetical? To compete in any sport at the top level, you need to have a solid program and knowledge of your sport.

As far as how, well you would first obviously have to get on the bike and show you can run up front, which isn't an easy task....unless you have a great sponsor and a bike to go along with it. Superbike is a grass roots style progress, so once you can lead races and show you can handle the pressure's, then hopefully you will either find a factory or sponsor to help fund your efforts.

Age can play a factor, but it's not always the case. John Dowd got his first factory sponsorship from Yamaha late in his career. Morgan Shepherd got his first NASCAR win at the age of 39 as a rookie, so if you have what it takes to win, then you will most likely get noticed. Good luck....if in fact it's what you want to do.

Answer 4

Just put first step towards superbike .

Answer 5

http://www.roadracingworld.com/resources...  pick you nearest racing organization and start racing, if you have talent eventually you'll get some sponsers, if you continue to win, more sponsers, eventually leading to your AMA ride providing you have the talent and can win.

Answer 6

Buy a used 600cc sportbike or a track bike. Go out and practice on track days at all the tracks that put on such practice days in your area.

Start racing local races in your area, Cycle News and Roadracing World have ads in the back for races in different areas. Do as many as you can. It takes lots and lots of practice. When you have practiced a whole lot then practice some more!

Keep upgrading your gear and your techniques. If you start doing really well you will get noticed and you will start to get offers and help. The better you do the more opportunities will open up to you.

At a certain point it will become easier and you will get there almost automatically but ONLY if you are totally dedicated....

Good luck

Answer 7

How old are you?

To be dead honest, teams dont care for new riders unless they have raced since they were 4 and are now only just turning 15.

Case in point: Bradley Smith.

Sorry if thats a bit of a let down to you.
