 Uh oh!  That's a lot a greenbacks!     

Have you gotta run Pirellis?

[Court Jester]

only one amateur class???

Last year Buell had the best contingency program in ASRA and CCS.  I didn't think it would get any better, but it did.  They have increased the stakes and added a class.  The bikes are fun to ride and the company is great to be associated with.  BTW,  when your at the track on a Buell,  you really do feel like you're associated with the company.

Darn!  You beat me to it!  I've been waiting for the Buell PR guy to get back with me with an "official" statement from them.

It really is awesome.

BTW .. other contingency requirements & awards are posted on the CCS website now.  (PDF file)

And they just sound so right!

How many other companies pay out on four year old bikes?
Thank you, Buell!

61ex: You can run whatever tire you want. Personally though, I think the Pirellis suit the XB chassis really well.

Court Jester: Actually Buell pays amateurs in two classes since you can run ASRA Thunderbike as an Am. I don't think too many other manufacturers pay amateurs, do they?

TrophyGal: Sorry, I sent you the "official" statement just before I posted on the forum. Just wanted to share the good news.

Catman: Yep, you just gotta love the sound of a made-in-Milwaukee twin at full honk on a racetrack. Especially sweet coming down into the tree lined entrance of T5 at Road America, then accelerating up the hill...

Dave and Don, great racing with you this year. See you guys out there next season!

[cbusa]

Wonder why they left out LW classes?

[Jeff]

Wow... that is HUGE...  Way to go for Buell in stepping up the support for the club guys! 

[h2o_motorsports]

Mabey I need to get a Buell.

[Super Dave]

Note...

Thunderbike has been eliminated in the Great Plains region.  So, the combined MW/GP region events at MAM and GIR will not have Thunderbike, or 125GP or HWSB as they have been eliminated also.
