Once again Buell steps up for its customers.

Added HWSB for the 1125R
Added Amateur Supertwins so Amateurs have two classes that pay.
Still paying out on 2003 and up models...
Most excellent.
:cheers:

PJ721, I haven't seen the Miami coverage yet, but I thought the Daytona 300 was pretty good. I agree it was strange they didn't give the starting line up or final results. But I'm sure they're learning as they go, just like us.

Rob, thanks. It's great when your job is also your passion. I know you know just what I mean.

Wow. That is impressive. I race a Duc, but this sort of contingency explains the grids of Buells.  Excellent program.
