Road racing remains a big part of life for the Canadian Harley-Davidson distributor, as they have just announced exhaustive plans for the coming season as well as 2011. Here are some extracts from the recent communiqué from them.
In Canada, “Ruthless Racing Inc. sponsored by Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada, will present a mix of Buell motorcycles on Canadian tracks in the 2010 season and is excited about the debut of the highly acclaimed Harley-Davidson XR 1200R motorcycle within the Canadian Sports Twins class.”
Team riders “will consist of team owner and no. 29 racer, Darren James, who most recently established himself as the West Coast Champion for 2009 in the 600 and Thunder classes, the Floridian no. 123 racer, Dave Estok. Racer no. 77, Olivier “Ov” Spilborghs, will round off the team on his 2OO7 Air Cooled XB12R in the CST class. The trio will be gracefully orchestrated through Caroline James as the Team Manager”.
“Ruthless Racing Inc. will participate in all of the races outlined below. The team will be running 2009 Buell 1125R bikes in the Pro Superbike and Pro Sport Bike categories, as well as running a 2OO7 Air Cooled XB12R and making a debut with the Harley-Davidson XR 1200R bike in the Canadian Sports Twins Pro/Am Classes.”

Ed note: Let’s all hope that Darren and the boys can get the 1125R machines up to the sharp end of the grid, as they add a lot to the show. As you may remember, this machine won the AMA Daytona Superbike class in 2009, when it enjoyed the benefits of special concessions on preparation rules to even out performance against Japanese 600s. Race organizer Colin Fraser knows how to do this effectively, so we can only wait and see what develops.
