Buell Expands Contingency Program
Apr 21, 2005

From a press release issued by Buell Motorcycle Company:

BUELL ANNOUNCES NEW 2005 RACING CONTINGENCY PROGRAM

More than $200,000 in Cash Contingencies Offered to Privateer Buell Racers

MILWAUKEE (April 21, 2005) – Buell Motorcycle Company recently announced a new addition to its racing support program for 2005, with $134,350 in contingency paid to racers aboard Buell motorcycles in multiple regional race series. Combined with the already announced $70,500 support for the Formula USA National Thunderbike series, privateer Buell racers will be chasing more than $200,000 of cash contingencies at race tracks across the U.S. in 2005.

The new program pays cash to Buell racers competing in Championship Cup Series (CCS) Expert and Amateur Thunderbike class, Willow Springs Motorcycle Club (WSMC) Battle of the Twins (BOTT) Middleweight Expert class, Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association (WMRRA) Formula Thunder Expert class and All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA) Hot Street class. Any year and model Buell motorcycle is eligible for the contingency program and racers should contact the racing organizations to receive the Buell contingency form with complete program details.

For more details go to www.buell.com or contact the race series organizers listed above.

“As a former privateer racer, I understand and appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to compete week in and week out. We’re proud to support the efforts of Buell racers nationwide,” said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of Buell Motorcycle Company.

Go to your local track or look up there web address and most of them have all the information you need to know about how to get started in there rule books.
Also check to see when your next track day is at your local track. There are always racers at those and you can always talk to them there.

My advice would be to go to a track day and putt around and see if it is something you would be interested in doing. Thats what I did and now I'm addicted.. I can't seem to remember what I did with my life before I started racing?????

Hope this helps

Brad

That is good news!!! Originally I only had seen FUSA $$$, I cant afford to do that series BUT CCS(Chamionship Cup Series) has clubs throught the US go to www.ccsracing.com

I race in the Loudon Road Race Series which is "loosely" considered the NE region for CCS.

Rain proposed for the opening weekend(starts today) My Buell is not finished due to lack of funds and no $$ Sponsor for 05...yet It will be ready for MAY, and I will be racing Thunderbike.
