3Honda Road Race Team


In 2008, Honda is committed to winning the AMA Superbike

Championship. With the exception of the Daytona 200, in

which the factory Honda team will field two 600cc Formula

Xtreme machines, the team will focus all of its energies on

returning the Superbike championship to the Honda fold.

The Red Riders are led by 14-year Honda veteran Miguel

Duhamel, whose accomplishments are the stuff of legend.

He has won the Daytona 200 five times: 1991, 1996, 1999,

2003 and 2005. His eight championships include five 600-

class Supersport titles in 1991, 1993, 1995, 1996 and 1997, a

Superbike crown in 1995 and two 600-class Formula Xtreme

titles in 2004 and 2005. His 86 career AMA wins make him

the winningest road racer in AMA history and include the

Supersport class record for most race wins (41) and the

longest winning streak (10). He is second in career AMA

Superbike victories (32) and was the last rider to win titles in

both the 600 Supersport and the Superbike class in the

same year (1995).

Within the entire realm of road racing, no other brand personifies success like Team Honda. Bred for competition and seasoned with

success, Honda Racing has amassed an enviable record in the USA. Honda riders have won eight AMA Superbike Championships

since the team began contesting the series in 1980. While competing in AMA Supersport racing, Honda has gathered the most

championships (8), the most race wins (87) and the most consecutive race wins (10). Most recently, Honda riders captured four

consecutive championships (2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007) in the AMA’s reformulated 600cc Formula Xtreme series.

The 2008 Honda Road Race Team

MiguelDUHAMEL 17


Joining Duhamel on the factory squad in 2008 is teammate Neil Hodgson, a 34-year-old Brit, who is

well versed in winning. Hodgson has won championships in the British Superbike Series (2000) and

World Superbike Series (2003). He also boasts experience in racing MotoGP and is very familiar with

American tracks, having raced previously in the AMA series in 2005 and 2006.

Honda Racing is led by Chuck Miller, manager of Motorcycle Sports. A multi-time Baja champion and

ISDE gold medalist, Miller is a 23-year Honda veteran. Road Racing Team Manager Ron Heben is an

industry veteran, who oversees the day-to-day activities of the team and directs an immensely talent-

ed team of crew chiefs and technicians. The team’s forces are marshaled by Team Coordinator Ray

Plumb, who first wrenched on Team Honda’s handbuilt 1023cc Superbikes in 1980. Returning for 2008

as Duhamel’s crew chief is Al Ludington. The pair teamed up to capture four national titles from 1992

to 1999 (including the Superbike and 600 Supersport championships in 1995) and two Formula

Xtreme titles in 2004 and 2005. David McGrath serves as Neil Hodgson’s crew chief in his eighth year

working with the Honda team. McGrath is one of the most knowledgeable technicians in the paddock.


Ever the visionary, it was in 1954 Mr. Honda issued a chal-

lenge to the racing world: “My childhood dream was to be a

motorsport world champion with a machine built by myself.

I here avow my definite intention that I will participate in the

TT races, and I proclaim with my fellow employees that I

will pour in all my energy and creative powers to win.”

An impossible dream? Hardly. A mere five years later,

Honda entered the prestigious Isle of Man TT for the very

first time. And two years after that—a blink of an eye by

racing development standards—Honda captured its first

World GP race win on April 23, 1961. Fast-forward to 2005,

when Honda chalks up its 600th GP victory, an achievement

far surpassing that of every other motorcycle manufacturer

in the world.

Impressive as this heritage of GP victory is, Honda has also

earned 100 AMA national titles—including the 2006 East

Supercross Lites crown and its fourth consecutive AMA

Formula Xtreme road-racing championship in 2007—and

has amassed a record-setting 18 Baja 1000 victories. Not to

mention taking both the World Superbike and World

Supersport crowns in 2007. Name the racing discipline and

you’ll find a collection of Honda championships.

At Honda, racing is the very soul of the company, a touchstone reaching back to our founder and the very foundations of the

company. Soichiro Honda formed the Honda Motor Company in 1948. One year later, World Championship Motorcycle Grand Prix

racing was born, and soon the histories of both entities would become forever intertwined.

Why We Race


Again, as lofty as these marks stand, they constitute only one

area of excellence. After expanding from motorcycle to

automobile production, Honda once more set its sights on the

highest goal—that of World Grand Prix auto racing—and soon

achieved success within that stratospheric level of competi-

tion. In 1966, Honda-powered cars won the Formula 1 and

Formula 2 GP Championships. After a 10-year hiatus from

racing, Honda entered the F1 arena once again in the 1980s,

and by 1992 had amassed 6 Constructors Championships, 5

Drivers Championships and 71 Grand Prix victories—an amaz-

ing achievement.

Having made its mark in F1, Honda next took on the American

racing scene at CART and IndyCar events. It quickly earned its

first CART race win in 1995, then went on to dominate the

sport with five consecutive Drivers Championships by the

close of the 2000 season. And in the 2004 IndyCar Series,

Honda swept all three major championships—the

Manufacturers Championship, Drivers Championship and

Rookie of the Year—by winning an amazing 14 of 16 races,

including a first-through-seventh sweep of the legendary Indy

500 and 1-2-3 sweeps at the Michigan International Speedway

and California Speedway rounds.

Honda’s unabated passion for motorsports continues to fuel

the company’s dreams in the new millennium. As one journal-

ist said of Mr. Honda, “He went racing because he loved it; it

was in his blood. And what made Honda successful was that it

was a company led by engineers.”

This drive to conquer new engineering challenges, whether on

the racetrack or in the creation of consumer products,

continues to forge the soul of Honda Motor Company. Racing

inspires new heights of creativity at Honda, dismissing tradi-

tional solutions in the unceasing search for new designs. This

long-standing and deep-seated passion for racing and excel-

lence continues to power Honda to create the dreams of today,

dreams that will appear as the innovations of tomorrow.

Honda has won eight titles.

+ In 2005, Miguel Duhamel won his fifth Daytona 200

aboard a CBR600RR. The victory also marked Honda’s

eighth 200-mile win.

+ Beginning with the original 1987 Hurricane™ through the

CBR600F2, CBR600F3, CBR600F4, CBR600F4i and 2003

CBR600RR models, every year that Honda introduced a

new CBR600, the bike won at Daytona.

+ At the 2003 Daytona 200, Duhamel’s victory was the

fastest in history, setting a new record of 113.89 mph.

Honda swept all three podium spots; this remarkable feat

had been achieved only once before in the history of the

200-miler, when another set of Honda riders ruled in 1985

(Freddie Spencer took the win, Wes Cooley placed second

and Jeff Haney was third).

+ In AMA Superbike racing, Honda riders have won eight

championships since the factory began contesting the

series in 1980. Honda has won 114 races and five

consecutive championships.


+ In 2003, Honda’s Red Riders finished on the podium in 16 of

the 18 AMA Superbike races on the venerable RC51 V-twin.

+ In 2002, Honda RC51-mounted Superbike Champion Nicky

Hayden and teammate Duhamel combined efforts to win

11 of 16 AMA Superbike rounds.

+ Ben Bostrom’s 1998 AMA Superbike Championship-

winning RC45 finished outside the top five only twice.

+ Winning 10 of 13 races, Honda VFR750F-mounted Fred

Championship in 1984.

+ In 1980, then-18-year-old Freddie Spencer helped kick off

Honda’s Superbike effort by winning three races and

finishing third overall in the points standings.

+ After the AMA instituted the big-bore Formula Xtreme

class in 1997, Honda-supported Erion Racing dominated

the class, winning nine of nine races in 1999; the most

consecutive races by a single rider (six in 2000); the most

consecutive pole positions (eight in 2000); and the most

class championships, with four in five years.

+ Honda’s Hurricane 600 and the AMA 600 Supersport class

debuted in 1987. The Hurricane swept the series, and

Doug Polen won seven consecutive races en route to the

championship.

+ Duhamel has won more AMA 600 Supersport

Championships (five) than any other rider, four of them

aboard Hondas.

+ In 1995, Duhamel made history by winning AMA titles in

both the 600 Supersport and the Superbike classes, the

last rider to do so. During the Superbike season, he won a

record six consecutive victories.


The elevated levels of factory support result in exquisite

handbuilt machines that are at once gorgeous in appearance

and stunningly brilliant at speed, and the racers rank among

the best in the world. Yet the riders, teams and sponsors go

to great lengths to encourage close contact with their

legions of fans. Appearances at dealerships on race week-

ends are common, autograph sessions hold forth every race

weekend and it’s not unusual for a racer to stop and pose

with a fan for a photo op or sign a T-shirt between practice

sessions. Overall, it’s a race fan’s dream come true.

Honda’s storied AMA Superbike tradition began in 1980,

when 18-year-old Freddie Spencer won three races and

finished third in the points standings. Four years later,

VF750F-mounted Fred Merkel won 10 of 13 races to capture

Honda’s first-ever AMA Superbike Championship. Honda

came to dominate the class during the ensuing years. Today,

multi-time AMA champion Miguel Duhamel has garnered 32

Superbike wins in a long 18-year career that has seen him

earn a Superbike title in 1995 (when he won a record 6 con-

secutive races) and capture 86 lifetime victories in all class-

es. Since the debut of the Superbike class in 1976, Honda

has won 8 championships and 114 race wins.

2008 AMA Superbike Series

Consider this pleasant dichotomy: The AMA Superbike Championship and its three support classes—Formula Xtreme, Supersport

and Superstock—arguably present the most competitive and thrilling racing spectacle in the entire USA, yet the stars of this sport

remain refreshingly accessible to the track-going public as a whole.

The Sport


2008 Honda Superbike effort

With the exception of the Daytona 200, in

which factory Honda will field two 600cc

Formula Xtreme machines, Honda Racing

will focus its energies exclusively on win-

ning the 2008 AMA Superbike series. The

basis for Team Honda’s Superbike is the

brand-new 2008 CBR1000RR, a production

motorcycle that takes full advantage of the

AMA’s tuning guidelines. As it has since

2005, American Honda maintains overall

responsibility for AMA Superbike R&D with

support from Honda Racing Corporation

(HRC). Riding for Team Honda in 2008 will

be the ever-popular Miguel Duhamel, who

stepped up to the podium six times in

2007, and former British Superbike champi-

on, World Superbike champion and

MotoGP pilot Neil Hodgson.


2008 AMA Formula Xtreme

A significant change to the popular AMA Formula Xtreme

series—the lowering of displacement limits from 1000cc to

600cc for four-cylinder machines—attracted the full attention of

the Honda Racing team in 2004 and 2005. The result was two

consecutive Honda championships for Duhamel, while his team-

mate Jake Zemke rode a CBR600RR to second place overall

each year. Honda was so dominant that Red Riders won every

race in both seasons, 21 in all. In 2006, Erion Honda-mounted

Josh Hayes brought home Honda’s third class title in as many

years, and in 2007 Hayes earned an unprecedented fourth con-

secutive Formula Xtreme title in dominating fashion, winning

seven of the nine races he contested. The 2008 season will see

Erion Honda’s Hayes and Jake Zemke vie for the Formula

Xtreme Championship. Honda Racing’s Duhamel and Hodgson

will tackle the Daytona 200 on Formula Xtreme equipment in an

effort to help garner the company’s third 200-mile victory (and

10th total Daytona 200 win) since the AMA designated the race

as a Formula Xtreme event in 2005.

2008 AMA Supersport

Erion Racing’s Josh Hayes and Jake Zemke will carry the

Honda banner forward in 2008 in a second 600cc class,

Supersport, aboard Honda’s much-heralded CBR600RR. Hayes

narrowly missed doing the double and adding the 600

Supersport crown to his laurels in 2007 as he won four races

during the year.

Honda has built a reputation as the winningest manufacturer in

the history of AMA Supersport racing, having captured more

than 45 percent (88 of 193) of all 600 Supersport victories and

8 championships.


Based on the readily available production Honda CBR1000RR

street-going sportbike, Superbike racing prep work lifts these

1000cc engines well past the 200-horsepower mark. Racing-

tested chassis refinements elevate handling and cornering

capabilities to world-class standards, creating machines that

approach the apex of motorcycling evolution.

In 2008, the sanctioning rules continue virtually unchanged,

and sophisticated traction-control systems have now

become the norm in Superbike and Formula Xtreme. An

engine management system that limits wheelspin under

acceleration, traction control can be worth up to a second a

lap at many of America’s road-racing tracks, where tight,

stop-and-go circuits place a premium on driving traction

when exiting turns.

The 2008 Honda CBR1000RR Superbike

When it debuted in the 2004 AMA Superbike series, Honda’s

all-new CBR1000RR represented a landmark break from the

company’s 2002 championship-winning twin-cylinder RC51.

The new design tapped wholesale into the cutting-edge

technology gleaned from within the company’s champi-

onship-winning MotoGP racing program. The basic DNA of

the CBR1000RR sprang forth from the incredible RC211V®,

In accordance with class rules, AMA Superbikes can be based on four-cylinder machines of up to 1000cc in displacement, and teams

are allowed numerous engine and suspension modifications. Those regulations give Team Honda a license to win, as the Red Riders

are introducing an all-new iteration of the Honda CBR1000RR to Superbike competition in 2008.

The Machines


a technological wonder that incorporated exotic and ground-breaking chassis architecture to accomplish its

single purpose in life: winning races.

In keeping with GP racing philosophy, each system was designed to complement the other. No other produc-

tion sport motorcycle had ever borrowed so lavishly—and so purposely—from a pure racing model. The

inaugural 2004 season of Honda’s all-new CBR1000RR Superbike was, by any measure, a great success. In the

hands of Honda Red Riders Miguel Duhamel, Ben Bostrom and Jake Zemke, the CBR1000RR collected podium

finishes in every one of the season’s 18 Superbike outings, including 8 wins, 12 second places and 11 third-

place showings.

The following year, a significant shift in philosophy gave American Honda an opportunity to take a more active

role in the research and development of Honda’s U.S. Superbike program. Previously, the role of Honda Racing

Corporation had been crucial to American Honda’s racing effort, supplying the bikes and the know-how to build

formidable racers. What unfolded for Honda in the 2005 AMA Superbike series was a season-long in-house

R&D effort. The team began with a stock CBR1000RR modified with HRC parts, then numerous components

were tested and fitted. Team Honda relentlessly developed the machine in the off-season and between races as

well as at the actual racing venues, a practice that continues to this day.


Late in the 2006 season, the AMA legalized traction control—an engine management system that limits wheel-

spin under acceleration, which in turn improves driving traction when exiting turns. Though no miracle cure,

traction control can be fine-tuned to rider preferences in much the same way as suspension settings can be

dialed-in to suit riding style. Traction control was evaluated and utilized in the last race of the 2006 season, and

implementation of this system continued throughout 2007.

In 2008, Honda’s all-new CBR1000RR takes center stage in a big way, signaling a new era in sportbike design

for Honda. The 2008 CBR1000RR carries key qualities from predecessors that have been sharpened, refined

and elevated to the next level, establishing new standards for function and style. Smaller, lighter, more com-

pact, faster and featuring an innovative slipper clutch in stock form, the 2008 Honda CBR1000RR holds stunning

advantages in open-class power-to-weight ratio, acceleration and handling. Look for this new machine to set

new standards at the track, on the street and in the showrooms all across America in 2008.

Honda CBR600RR

Formula Xtreme regulations switched to heavily modified 600cc four-cylinder “Superbikes” four seasons ago—

and Honda CBR600RRs have won every championship since that changeover with Erion Racing’s Josh Hayes

claiming the crown in 2007. In contrast, Supersport racing showcases lightly modified versions of the

immensely popular 600cc sportbikes. The Daytona 200 race, a part of the AMA Superbike Championship as

recently as 2005, today utilizes 600cc Formula Xtreme machines.


Introduced in 2007, Honda’s next-generation CBR600RR

delivered lighter weight (more than 16 pounds lighter), more

compact dimensions and reduced drag everywhere. A small-

er engine permitted more effective positioning within the

frame for optimal weight distribution, and a shorter wheel-

base with a longer swingarm taps into MotoGP-inspired

designs that optimize traction at the rear wheel. Stronger

engine performance throughout the powerband with a more

linear power delivery also will help make the new Honda

CBR600RR a winner. The new engine features a noticeably

fatter torque curve between 7000 and 10,000 rpm, and peak

horsepower is significantly increased.

In addition to winning at the track, Honda’s new CBR600RR

completely dominated comparison tests in print and online in

2007, going undefeated in shoot-outs in Motorcyclist, Sport

Rider, Roadracing World, Cycle News, Motorcycle Online.com,

Motorcycledaily.com Motorcycle-USA.com, plus a 2008 com-

parison victory in Cycle World. Other accolades for the

CBR600RR in 2007 entailed inclusion in Cycle World‘s Ten Best

Winner list as Best Middleweight; Motorcyclist magazine’s

Motorcycle of the Year Winner as Best Sportbike; Sport Rider‘s

Middleweight of the Year; Rider magazine’s selection as Best

Sportbike; and Bike magazine’s (England’s largest motorcycle

magazine) Bike of the Year. All in all, quite an impressive debut.

In 2008, Honda Racing will focus on the Superbike class and

entrust the Erion Racing team to contest the Formula Xtreme

and Supersport series once again—a plan that paid huge

dividends in 2007, when Erion rider Josh Hayes handily won

the FX title while narrowly missing a second championship in

the Supersport class. This season the Erion Racing efforts will

be spearheaded by Hayes and his able teammate Jake Zemke.

Honda Racing’s Duhamel and Hodgson will field Honda

CBR600RR FX bikes for the Daytona 200 only in a one-time

class appearance.

MiguelDUHAMEL



As the winningest road racer in AMA history, the 39-year-old

Honda racing icon has racked up five 600 Supersport titles,

a Superbike crown and two 600-class Formula Xtreme titles.

He holds the Supersport class record for most race wins

(41) and the longest winning streak (10). He is second in

career AMA Superbike victories (32) and was the last rider

to win titles in both the 600 Supersport and the Superbike

class in the same year (1995).

In 2007, Duhamel started off the 17th year of his remarkable

career claiming four Superbike podiums in the first six

starts, including second at the opener in Daytona. After two

years of intensive development, American Honda’s in-house

CBR1000RR Superbike road-racing program was bearing

fruit. Duhamel would podium two more times before fate

dealt him an ugly blow during a practice session at Road

Atlanta on August 8.

“When my tire overheated I just lost traction going into the

corner,” recalls the Canadian of his impact with Road

Atlanta’s turn 11, deemed by many as the most dangerous

corner in America. “The motorcycle hit the air fences,

moved that out of the way, then I got through the hay bales

and hit the wall at 120 miles per hour. The injuries were a

Eight AMA national roadracing championships. Five Daytona 200 wins. 86 career AMA wins. These are accomplishments any

professional racing team would relish. Yet they are the feats of just one man—Honda Racing’s Miguel Duhamel.

Miguel Duhamel


lacerated liver, one lung collapsed, the other punctured, broken ribs, internal bleeding, bone chips in my

right ankle, a sprain on my left ankle, and pretty much a sprain of everything else in my body.”

Incredibly, he did not suffer a concussion. “It was definitely a critical moment.” Veteran observers

assumed Duhamel’s stellar career was over. They were wrong.

Duhamel is no stranger to serious injury, having shattered his left femur and kneecap in 1998 during a

practice session on the rain-slick New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon. Yet less than nine

months later and with virtually no off-season training he showed up in Florida and won the grueling

Daytona 200—and the 600 Supersport race as well. It was one of the most amazing performances in

AMA motorcycle-racing history. Will 2008 be the comeback year of all comeback years?

With an all-new CBR1000RR Superbike underneath him, Duhamel is every bit as hungry for a champi-

onship as he was when he chased down Kawasaki teammates Doug Chandler and Scott Russell to win

his first Superbike victory in 1990. “There’s no hiding it—the Honda machine always has the best

motor,” says Duhamel. “We have great top speeds at Daytona, over 200 miles per hour. Honda has built

a terrific streetbike, and the new CBR1000RR is a solid platform for our in-house American Honda

factory effort. I’m really looking forward to putting it through the paces.”


With one of the sport’s best crews in his corner—led by

veteran Al Ludington—Duhamel likes his chances even more.

“A lot of credit for my success goes to my Honda Racing crew.

I’ve got a great crew with Al and the guys: Bryce Eikelberger,

Dave Presler and Manny Macias. They know how to make the

machine go fast.”

By his own account, Duhamel is not the same man he was when

he started racing motorcycles. Over the years he has matured

and become more disciplined in his race-craft. His inner drive is

just as strong, however, and his self-awareness helps him

marshal his resources on and off the track. “I just try to make

myself a better person physical and mentally and I want to bring

a championship back to Honda in the worst way. We almost won

the championship in 2004. We had six wins that year.”

Duhamel enjoyed one of his finest seasons in 2004, notching

15 podium finishes in 18 Superbike outings to finish second in

the championship. That same year he scored podium finishes

in each of the 11 Formula Xtreme races on his way to his first

title in the class. Just as impressive, Duhamel won three

national races on two separate race weekends, including two

Superbike victories and a Formula Xtreme win on the same

day at Virginia International Raceway, a feat never before

accomplished in AMA road racing.

In 2005, Duhamel collected his fifth Daytona 200 win on a

Formula Xtreme-spec CBR600RR and went on the win his

second consecutive class title. But for Duhamel the sense of

accomplishment fell short, as American Honda devoted its

CBR1000RR Superbike effort to a first-year development pro-

gram. While 2006 was challenging, Duhamel knew he had to

put his head down and lead the team’s climb back to the top

of the sport.

Now he stands at the verge of Honda’s return to AMA

Superbike dominance. And the view for 2008 is clear all the

way to the podium.

PROFILE


NeilHODGSON


“Winning the world championship in 2003 was the high-

light for me, and winning the British championship was

something very important as well,” says the popular 34-

year-old Brit. “My next goal is to win the American champi-

onship. Then I will have achieved something no one else

has ever achieved in this sport: to win all the major

Superbike championships.”

Highly skilled both as a racer and as a development rider,

Hodgson becomes a member of the Honda Racing team at an

ideal time. With Honda’s rollout of the all-new CBR1000RR, he

joins teammate Miguel Duhamel in the role of adapting this

phenomenal streetbike into a winning Superbike platform.

“I’ve come to the Honda team and I’m going to show a real-

ly impressive work ethic. I’m here to get the best out of the

new CBR1000RR. I’m here to do as many laps that they

need me to do in any testing. Even if it’s dark, I’ll ride. I have

seen that kind of dedication from the Honda team, and they

will get the same from me. And I’ve got a great teammate in

Miguel. He’s pretty much done that for the past decade and

I know we will work well together.”

Honda Racing’s newest rider is Neil Hodgson, a former British road-racing and World Superbike champion who has set his sights

squarely on the 2008 AMA Superbike title.

Neil Hodgson

Hodgson is no stranger to AMA racing. He arrived in 2005 after a year of MotoGP

racing, in which he finished 17th with a factory support team that had limited

sponsorship and development funds. Coming off his World Superbike

Championship performance in 2003, he was disappointed and ready to make his

mark in the AMA, which he did immediately, finishing second is his AMA

Superbike debut at Daytona International Raceway, and then grabbing second

again in one of the two races at Barber Motorsports Park. Hodgson worked hard

throughout the 2006 season, landing on the podium twice and posting a solid

string of fourth and fifth finishes to take fifth overall for the year. During that two-

year period, he learned just how tough AMA Superbike competition could be.

In a bizarre set of musical-chair circumstances, Hodgson was without a ride in

2007, though he was utilized for his development knowledge by two factories. “I

had a frustrating year off. I found it very difficult to deal with, a lot harder than I

thought it would be. Having a year off made me realize how much I missed the

competition and I was so ready. I’ve still got that burning desire to win a champi-

onship.” He just needed a team like Honda to realize his dream.



Hodgson caught a break when he landed a one-race ride on the Corona Honda CBR1000RR at the first Laguna Seca

round in July, finishing fifth behind Duhamel. “It was a wonderful opportunity to ride the Corona Honda. I instantly

took to the bike, which surprised me because I was a twin-cylinder rider. It took no adapting to the bike. As a rider,

you need feedback from the back and it gave me a lot of feeling. If you get the feedback, you can understand where

the limit is, and if you know where the limit is, you can go faster and you can improve the bike. It was also much

easier to maneuver left to right. The Honda is very nimble and that was one of its strengths. I could really feel the

front end; I could feel the front tire, it was superb. I’ve never really had that in a motorcycle before.”

Hodgson’s success on the CBR1000RR was due in no small part to his demanding training regimen. “I’m quite fanat-

ical, I’ve got to be honest. I do a lot of cycling. I do quite a bit of motocross. I do a lot of gym work. There’s few rid-

ers like me. The majority find training a bit of a chore, but I’ve found more and more enjoyment out of training, and

it’s something that, if I didn’t race motorcycles, I’d train almost just as hard. The European tracks are usually a little

bit bigger with more straights on them, so you actually get more rests. The tracks over here—usually there’s no rest

at all. And at lot of the tracks you ride on in America, it’s nearly 100 degrees. For an Englishman, that’s hot, you

know? I’m huffing and panting under my helmet, so I’ve got to make sure my conditioning’s 100 percent.”

Riding for Honda Racing, Hodgson has all the ingredients he needs to succeed in 2008. “I’ve never felt like this

before. It’s strange—I feel like all the clichés, but my batteries are overflowing. I’m ready.”

PROFILE


Chuck Miller, Manager, Motorcycle Sports

Multiple Baja champion and ISDE gold medalist Chuck Miller possesses the knowledge and insight to build

championship teams. His 24-year career with Honda underwrites his success as manager of Honda Motorcycle

Sports, a position he’s held for seven years. In 2007, the Erion road-racing team won another championship on

Miller’s watch, bringing his total to 14 titles in 7 years. Much credit for these championships goes to Miller’s

organizational skills and experience in winning races.

Ron Heben, Road Racing Team Manager

Now in his third year as team manager, Ron Heben is an industry veteran, who served as a motocross race tech-

nician with American Honda for several years in the early 1990s. He also performed suspension work for

Commonwealth Racing—Honda’s road-racing program in the 1990s. Heben oversees the day-to-day activities of

the road-racing team and guides the ongoing in-house Superbike R&D program at American Honda.

Successful racers are backed by a highly dedicated support team of unsung heroes, specialists who each contribute to a

singular goal: creating the perfect environment for winning races and championships. Here is the team behind Honda Racing’s

Miguel Duhamel and Neil Hodgson.

The Team Behind the Team


Ray Plumb, Team Coordinator

Ray Plumb’s record reads like a timeline of

Honda road racing. The 29-year Honda man

was instrumental in launching Honda’s first

Superbike effort in 1980, wrenching on the

team’s handbuilt 1023cc rocket ships. In addition to earning

several AMA Superbike and 600 Supersport titles as a

mechanic, Plumb worked on championship-winning AMA

Grand National Dirt Track, Formula 1, Pro Twins and Grand Prix

programs for Honda. As team coordinator, Plumb keeps the

road-racing team focused and organized.

Andrea Mollica, Race Team Administrator

Although she is charged with staying behind

to keep a watchful eye on Team Honda head-

quarters, Andrea Mollica’s presence is felt at

every race. She’s the go-to person every

professional organization needs to make things flow smoothly.

A Honda associate for more than two decades, Mollica knows

how to coordinate everything from accounting to hotel

reservations to rider bonus checks. And she does it all with a

disarmingly delightful smile.

Al Ludington, Crew Chief for Miguel

Duhamel

Al Ludington has a long tradition with Honda

Racing and Miguel Duhamel. In 2005, the

duo claimed Duhamel’s fifth Daytona 200

victory and the Formula Xtreme Championship; in 2004,

Duhamel was also the FX champion and runner-up in the

Superbike class. Between 1992 and 1999, the pair captured

four national titles, including the Superbike and 600 Supersport

double championships in 1995. In total, Ludington has earned

six 600 Supersport championships, two Formula Xtreme

crowns and one Superbike title, plus scores of race wins.


Dave Presler, Superbike Engine Technician

for Miguel Duhamel

Dave Presler joined Team Honda in 2005 as

the engine technician for Miguel Duhamel’s

CBR600RR. He moved up to the CBR1000RR

in 2006, and in 2007 will again focus his talents on Honda’s

Superbike. Presler brings the team an invaluable asset: his

vast experience working with top-level racers, such as Tommy

and Roger Lee Hayden and the veteran Doug Chandler. In his

spare time he enjoys riding dirtbikes.

Bryce Eikelberger, Superbike Chassis

Technician for Miguel Duhamel

Bryce Eikelberger joined the Honda team in

2005 after a four-year career at Jardine

Performance Products, where he worked on

the exhaust systems for the Formula Xtreme Honda

CBR600RR. His knowledge of the industry and of Honda’s

championship-winning CBRs is key in his position as a

Superbike chassis technician for Miguel Duhamel. In his down-

time he likes to go camping and ride his dirtbike.

Manny Macias, Superbike Chassis

Technician for Miguel Duhamel

Manny Macias returns to the Honda fold after

spending five years wrenching for other

teams in the AMA road-racing paddock.

Macias received his formal training at the Motorcycle

Mechanics Institute in Arizona, then spent two years with

Performance Machine before joining the Erion Honda squad

for the 2001 and 2002 seasons. A former motocross racer and

amateur road racer, this year Macias applies his chassis-tuning

skills to Duhamel’s CBR1000RR.

David McGrath, Crew Chief for Neil Hodgson

Now in his eighth year working with the

Honda team, David McGrath serves as Neil

Hodgson’s crew chief. McGrath played a

significant role as the team’s development


engineer for Honda’s CBR1000RR Superbike and CBR600RR

Formula Xtreme machines in 2005 and 2006. As crew chief for

Kurtis Roberts from 2001 to 2003 and for Jake Zemke in 2004

and 2007, McGrath won Superbike races and honed his skills

as one of the most knowledgeable technicians in the paddock.

Bob Reichmann, Superbike Engine

Technician for Neil Hodgson

Born and raised in Southern California, Bob

Reichmann was riding Ascot’s notorious

motocross track in 1985 while also complet-

ing his training at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute. He then

racked up valuable experience working for dealerships and

independent motorcycle shops for the next 17 years. In his

spare time, he worked for several amateur road-race teams.

He entered the pro ranks as a technician in 1999; his specialty

is engine building and tuning.

Eric Haeselich, Superbike Chassis Technician

for Neil Hodgson

Eric Haeselich returns to the Honda factory

team for his second year in 2008, having

previously turned wrenches at Erion Racing.

A former professional cyclist, Haeselich knows what it takes

to succeed in racing. After graduating from the Motorcycle

Mechanics Institute in 2000, he tuned up his skills by work-

ing with privateer racers before joining Erion Racing in 2004.

When this dedicated worker isn’t wrenching on motorcycles,

he can be found cycling or rock climbing in Southern

California.

Josh Alverson, Superbike Chassis

Technician for Neil Hodgson

A technician since 2000, Josh Alverson

started wrenching professionally in 2003,

eventually taking on the role of crew chief

with a factory-support team. This is now his second year on

the Honda squad. “I have always admired Honda for its great


racing achievements. It’s great to be a part of such a dedicat-

ed, driven and experienced team.” When he’s not working on

Neil Hodgson’s Superbike, he enjoys racing his Honda RS125

and riding dirtbikes.

Trevor Weiler, R&D Engine Development

Now in his fifth year with Team Honda,

Trevor Weiler is a driving force in the engine-

development department. A Canadian who

wrenched in shops and at the racetrack for

more than a decade, Weiler earned his stripes in the Canadian

road-racing series, Formula USA and endurance racing. For

2008, Weiler continues to lend his expertise to the develop-

ment of Honda’s CBR600RR and CBR1000RR engines, and he

is also involved in the evolution of engine-data technologies.

Danny Ryan, R&D Chassis and Engine

Development

Engineer Danny Ryan joined Team Honda in

2005, following a successful career designing

automotive race engines. After serving for

one season as Miguel Duhamel’s Superbike engine technician,

Ryan moved into American Honda’s R&D group, where he

assists with chassis development as well as works on the

development of the CBR1000RR and CBR600RR engines for

Miguel Duhamel and Neil Hodgson. Ryan resides in Southern

California and enjoys motocross in his spare time.

Sander Donkers, Data Acquisition Development

Now in his second year with the team,

Sander Donkers brings to Honda Racing his

considerable experience in data-acquisition,

engine-management and suspension devel-

opment. A native of the Netherlands with a

master’s degree in motorsport engineering and management,


he honed his skills as a chief mechanic with a leading

European auto-racing team and as a British Superbike race-

team engineer. In his free time he enjoys running, swimming,

jujitsu and track days.

Brian Uchida, Parts Coordinator

Brian Uchida provides team members with

all the parts they need, when they need

them, no matter where the team happens to

be. Uchida’s background in amateur dirt

track, road racing and motocross makes him uniquely quali-

fied. With more than 20 years of experience with Team Honda,

Uchida now works exclusively with the road-race team. While

his main duties include parts sourcing and procurement, you’ll

never see him standing idle when there’s work to be done.

James Siddall, Data Acquisition Specialist

Nowadays, a laptop computer is just as inte-

gral a part of the racing paddock as wrench-

es or a tire-pressure gauge. For bike setup

and data acquisition, careful information

analysis is essential. Now in his third year, James Siddall plies

his trade as Team Honda’s data-acquisition specialist, bringing

a wealth of expertise, plus plenty of racetrack knowledge, hav-

ing been a team owner, a team manager and a crew chief, as

well as a data specialist on four championship-winning teams.

Tom Jobe, Race Team Fabricator

Even though the team’s racebikes are based

on production machines, there’s still a need

for one-off parts fabricated from scratch. For

38 years, Tom Jobe has made parts for all


kinds of projects, from land-speed-record cars to IndyCars. In

1997 Jobe was inducted into the NHRA Drag Racing Hall of

Fame for his innovative drag-racing efforts in the 1960s. Now

in his 16th year with Honda, Jobe continues to fabricate beauti-

ful pieces for the Red Rider machines.

Kevin Roche and Mando Molina, Transport Drivers

Kevin Roche and Mando Molina join Honda Racing in 2008 as

the team’s transport drivers. Bearing the responsibility for

navigating the two bright-red Honda 18-wheelers from race-

track to racetrack across the USA, these new members of the

team fulfill a vital role. Hauling their priceless cargo from sea to

shining sea, this stalwart duo will rack up thousands and

thousands of miles by season’s end—just to bring race fans

the greatest show on pavement.
