From Roadracing World: 2/17/2005 Higbee To Race Buell In 2005 AMA Formula Xtreme Series From a press release: Milwaukee, WI: Shawn Higbee has established his own racing team for 2005 to compete in the AMA Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Series. The 2001 Formula USA Unlimited Superbike champion returns to ride a Buell XB and will debut his 2005 Formula Xtreme bike at the upcoming Indianapolis Dealer show on Saturday, February 19th as a featured display of the Teknic exhibit booth. "It has been very exciting working on the creation of this team over the past 4-5 months," said Higbee. "Over the years, I have had the chance to work with several great teams. Now, I have the goal to bring together the best aspects of each of them into one cohesive unit. All of this hard work has really motivated me toward Daytona. I am really excited about the coming season." Higbee will race the #14 Higbee Racing Buell at the upcoming Daytona 200, a 68-lap, 200-mile test of rider and machine, is the first event of the exceptionally competitive series. "I'm happy to be back on a Buell," added Higbee. "The XB is a superb handling bike and suits my riding style well. I think we will be a competitive force in 2005." In addition to displaying his Buell XB in Indianapolis, Higbee will be signing autographs at the Pit Bull booth on Saturday, February 19th at 1:00 p.m. The 64th running of the Lockhart Phillips USA Formula Xtreme Daytona 200 will be held on Saturday, March 12. | ||
