AMA Pro Racing has officially removed the Brainerd International Raceway (BIR) event, tentatively scheduled for June 25-26, from its 2005 Superbike Championship schedule according to John Farris, AMA Pro Racing Vice President, Commercial Development.
The owners of Brainerd International Raceway have put the facility up for sale and terminated the track's operating staff. AMA Pro Racing was hopeful that despite the track's uncertain future an event could be held there in 2005, possibly with a third party promoter. "We have been in communication with BIR officials all along and continued to explore a variety of scenarios that would enable us to keep the race viable," said Farris. "However, it has become clear that there are just too many questions surrounding BIR right now and, in the best interests of our championship, we need to focus our efforts elsewhere."

yup its a shame when a track closes...bridgehampton on long island, new york was an awesome track...fast 3 mile track with high speed turns...great lazy man track for me (unlike loudon where u have a bunch of slow left/right turns) all u did was keep it wide open all over the place....now its a golf course ...i have some pics somewhere....its a sad thing to see...
