MotoAmerica's Mission Super Hooligan Race 1 was held at Ridge Motorsports Park. Cory Alexander of ARCH Motorcycle Racing took the win, with Andy DiBrino of BPR Racing Yamaha finishing 2nd. The characterful class of modified machines delivered an entertaining American weekend.
Super Hooligan is a thrilling category even from the perspective of a former racer like me. Forcing a big naked bike around and competing is rough and hot. Corey Alexander's win is proof of the skill to tame that power. There's a raw, exposed kind of fun here that's different from a polished superbike race.

I wonder how much it costs to compete in a modified-bike class like this - probably not as much as a full factory machine, but still.
What kind of bikes do people race in the Super Hooligan class?
That's a class where cruisers or nakeds get heavily modified into race-spec machines - it's popular partly for the visual impact too.
BPR Racing Yamaha sitting in 2nd means Yamaha's crowd is properly serious about this class too.
A modified-bike class gives off the image of fewer entries and a bigger skill gap, but I wonder how it actually plays out.
Super Hooligan has drawn a lot more serious competitors over the past few years, so it's a different vibe from the old days.
It's interesting that Super Hooligan, a cruiser-based modified class, has turned into a genuinely serious battle.
ARCH Motorcycle Racing winning is a little moving when you think about how that brand came to be.
