Couple of News of the week items:

Nolan Lamkin and Max Toth are going to ride this weekend for Saddlemen Race Development filling in for Cory West and Jake Lewis, respectively, since this round conflicts with Round 2 of the Baggers World Cup.

I see you, Julian Correa and Rossi Moor, out there scoring points on the world's stage

As always, thank you to Riding Times for sponsoring the show. Use the promo code SBK5 to get 5% off what were already the best values in e-bikes and e-motos. I love my GT-73 and have put well over 1,000 miles on it already!

After that I just kinda load up on coffee as we go class by class reviewing the action from the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park. Now we are also getting into the thicker parts of the schedule so next week we get to look ahead to America's National Park of Speed, Road America.

As always, thank you to Riding Times to help make this happen. Visit ridingtimes.com to find your next electric fun bike and get an additional 5% off when you use the promo code SBK5.

First, I give my opinion about MotoAmerica raising the rev limit for Harley Davidson in King of the Baggers. In short, I don't like it but our biggest takeaway is balancing different motorcycles is really hard.

Logan Cunnison will be making his Supersport debut on a Suzuki GSX-750R this weekend. Cunnison will also still compete in the remaining Twins Cup rounds on the schedule as well.

Also, welcome back Ben Gloddy. It's been a long road back, Gloddy will begin his 2026 MotoAmerica season as a teammate to Gus Rodio in the Super Hooligans class aboard a Ducati.

Going forward I will put out a call for questions every Friday on the r/AmericanSuperbikeShow subreddit. I feel like I have networked enough that I can find the answer to just about any question you ask. However, I am not going to guarantee that I will answer every question; for example, nobody in their right mind is going to willingly share info on money or contracts. Just about anything else is fair game.

Next week we will review all the action from Barber. Until then, take care of each other.

A huge thanks to Riding Times for sponsoring the show and my GT-73 that I used to get out to turn 10. Find your next ebike or mini moto at ridingtimes.com and use the promo code SBK5 to get 5% off your purchase!

Thank you to Riding Times for helping to make this possible! Now you can visit their site at www.ridingtimes.com and use the promo code SBK5 to get 5% off your next toy! I personally have a GT-73 that I have put almost 1,000 miles on already using it daily and it always puts a smile on my face!

Big news, the American Superbike Show has its first sponsor! If you have seen me at either of the two MotoAmerica rounds that have taken place this year then chances are you have seen me getting around these tracks on my electric dirt bike. I love my Riding Times GT-73 and have people ask me questions about it literally every day I'm at the track and most days I ride it around town as well. I've even gone full Florida Man and my wife and I ride our electric dirt bikes to church every Sunday!

If you are in the market for anything from an electric bicycle to a full on super fast e moto then check out what the fine folks at Riding Times have to offer. This is a product where I put my money where my mouth is almost a full year before having the opportunity to work together with them, so it's worth giving it a look for yourself!

The full MotoAmerica Championship season will get underway this weekend at Road Atlanta where BTR and Superbikes will be the final two classes to get their seasons underway. They will be joined by Talent, Twins, Baggers and Supersport to make a full weekend that includes everyone but Hooligans.
