Damn, Ben...that does sting a bit. Sorry to see it.

Are the other brands doing about the same?

Not really, Kawasaki is out, and theirs is even better than last year. Honda is reported to be similar to last year and maybe a bit better, same for suzuki. My source at Suzuki says it will be very similar to last years.
2009 info
Motosport returns as Presenting sponsor for CCS
Michelin becomes title sponsor of the ASRA Pro series, Michelin Pro Series
As listed on the front page of the CCS website most contingency sponsors with CCS/ASRA have announced return for the 2009 season.
Many of those returning have announced same or simlar programs as in years past, while new and increased payouts have been announced as well with payouts nearly doubling in the case of Michelin and new program from Penske and other new and returning sponsors preparing for the 2009 season.
Eric, how about posting up details of the ones you have so far, some racers make buying decisions based on that info and the racing season is fast approaching.
I am trying, I am keeping the website updated on confirmations.
At this point I am going to try to get the requirements and payouts page loaded since 90% of it is firm from last year's sponsors.
