ASRA

What ASRA does

ASRA (American Superbike Racing Association), founded in 1983, is a privately held U.S. motorcycle road racing sanctioning body operating under the trade names ASRA and CCS (Championship Cup Series), headquartered in New Freedom, Pennsylvania. The organization runs sportsman-level road racing for amateur, expert, and youth riders across 10+ nationwide venues including Daytona International Speedway, Virginia International Raceway, New Jersey Motorsports Park, Pittsburgh International Race Complex, and Summit Point Motorsports Park. Riders compete in classes spanning entry-level MiniGP/Supermoto through Unlimited Superbike, in parallel sprint and endurance formats plus sidecar, street bagger, and team challenge categories. ASRA also sanctions the AMA Road Race Grand Championship and operates the ASRA MiniCup / FIM MiniCup USA youth development program.

The organization operates a digital race management platform featuring exclusively digital race registration with paperless tech and contingency forms, mobile device check-in for race participants, real-time live timing and results across race weekends, and an online race certification testing system with account creation and digital certificate generation. The platform is delivered through asraracing.com, native iOS and Android mobile applications, and at-event registration. Under new ownership since November 2022, ASRA migrated away from paper-based processes and now operates as one of the few U.S. amateur racing bodies with fully digital intake infrastructure.

ASRA generates revenue through four streams: (1) annual race licenses sold to riders on a subscription basis, including a bundled 1-year subscription to RoadRacing World Magazine and promotional discounting during Black Friday/Cyber Monday; (2) per-event race registration fees for sprint, endurance, track day, and class-specific entries; (3) advertising and sponsorship revenue from digital newsletters, social media, the printed rulebook, and customized marketing partnerships; and (4) race certification training at $125 per test attempt. Major manufacturer partners including Pirelli, Dunlop, Kawasaki, Yamaha, KTM, and Honda contribute contingency prize money and sponsorship, with Kawasaki's 2024 racer contingency exceeding $200,000 and Dunlop's 2025 partnership contributing nearly $50,000. The company is co-owned by Alex Spellman and Mark Lienhard, with Scott Gilbert as a partner.
