Title: Trackside Services & Contingency
Post by: fourandsix on December 20, 2004, 06:05:21 PM
Just thought you might all want to know that for the 2005 Season we will have a support truck at all CCS Midwest events . We are also in the process of putting together a contingency program which will include sponsoring 2 classes in CCS. We will be able to support any Suspension needs that you may have including having the Computrack Measuring System there as well. I have also enclosed the following press release.   Jim

Just to be clear.  Do you have to or is there some incentive for using Dunlop tires in relation to the suspension assistance?

Do you have a trackside fee structure?

Jim, does that mean YOU will be working?  

<looking for my camera to memorialize this>

Jim, congratulations.  I suppose I'll have to buy one new tire this season.  I'll see you for that brand new tire, maybe in July, when the one I got last year wears out.

When you say contingency sponsor, do you mean for those using your motor work?  I am mulling about trying to figure where I'm sending my motor so this would be an obvious incentive.

We are working on a number of ways that you could win this contingency and yes motor work will be one of them.

Larry & Speedster,

Jim and the 4&6 crew have been building my bikes for over 10 years.  Besides being great guys to work with, they do excellent work.  Having AMA-level experience at a CCS event is a big plus for all of us.

For whatever it's worth, they've got my recommendation.

Jim,

Please don't shave your head again.  It would probably make it easier for everybody getting into the track if we didn't have to deal with Homefront Security setting up security checkpoints  ;D
