2005 Contingency Sponsors

[xlr8tn]

I am trying to fill out my license application and wonder what contingency sponsors are lined up for next year.  Can someone post those that are definite and posibly those that are being considered so I can buy theie products in the off-season.  I assume that the yearly repeats will continue to support the sport (i.e. dunlop, ebc...).

thanks,
brent

I just answered this.  Might want to search.

Usually, nothing gets announced much before Daytona.

I know that we've raced at Daytona for Suzuki money not knowing what, or if, the pay out was.  The structure was established several weeks after the event.

I understand your pain and at this point I would contact the vendors/manf directly; the smaller ones will tell you what their plans/contingency is as well as racer discounts. The larger they are the less info seems to flow. The OEMs have a tendecny to wait and see what the other OEMs are doing to either A One up them or  B do as little as possible without being blown out of the water. The OEM info flows either in hard copy or strong romour during Daytona Bike Week.
