Modern superbikes are faster than ever. With 200+ horsepower at a rider’s beck and call, all that speed and power also make them more dangerous than ever. To mitigate the damage sustained from a high-speed crash, raceways implement extended run-off areas, gravel traps, and inflatable soft barriers. Not all circuits are created equally though.
To standardize safety regulations across all MotoAmerica race tracks, the series turned to Roadracing World Action Fund to raise money for additional off-track safety equipment. The non-profit organization raised nearly $150,000 dollars at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca round in July, 2021.
