Miller Motorsports Park To Host World Superbike in 2008 sources say 'done deal' by evan williams Sunday, July 29, 2007 European sources tell Soup that a Utah World Superbike round in '08 is a done deal. While a contract has not been signed, it has been agreed that Miller Motorsports Park will hold a World Superbike race next year. Barber Motorsports Park and FG Sport (the World Superbike promoter) are still negotiating on a potential 2008 race in Alabama. World Superbike has not raced in the US since 2004 after a decade of events in California. After that race Laguna Seca's international round went to MotoGP. The original home of World Superbike in the US was Brainerd International Raceway. ENDS

I hope they do barber next year too. Maybe Americans will start to open thier eyes and see what it's all about. For '08 we have two MotoGP races and hopefully two WSBK races.

I'd like to see two races, cuz Barber is an easy trip for me, and Utah is a bit too far away. I don't think the American public is going to embrace WSBK until we have an American in the series, and a good one at that. I think Spies should go to WSBK next year. It'd get him ready for the air rides, and he's already familiar with the bike for the most part.

And it would prepare him for the level that MotoGP is going to be at.

And we definitely know he can rock the shit out of a GSXR 1000 superbike. How different would the bikes be? I mean could Yosh ship some bikes over add the dual rear exhaust and start racing? I'd much rather see Ben on a Santander R1 taking Corser's place next to Haga, but I'm sure Ben will make the same mistake Hopper did and stick with Suzuki too long.
