LA CROSSE, WI (March 14, 2008) S&S® Cycle announces its 2008 NHRA Pro Stock
Contingency Program.
The NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Racing season opens this weekend at the Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida. With the start of this season, it marks another year of S&S stepping into the class not only as a competitive engine supplier—an S&S powered bike won the number one plate in the 2007 season—but also as a big contingency sponsor again.
“This program was something we put together back it 2005, our first full year of NHRA racing, and it has been the largest in the class for the four years we have been here. We are proud of our racing heritage and support the sport and racers that use our products by doing the contingency for them. This is our way of saying that you for the racers showing what our products do on the track.” Said Charlie Hadayia, Jr S&S Senior Manager of Racing & Customer Services
Going into the 2008 Pro Stock Motorcycle Racing season, S&S has put up over $80,000 in contingencies. The contingencies are split into two postings, one for the engine and one for valve train. The S&S engine contingency pays $2000 for a win and $1500 for the runner up position. The S&S valve train pays out $1000 for a win and $750 for the runner up position respectively. These S&S postings are three times more than any other posting in Pro Stock Motorcycle Racing, because S&S really does appreciate that racers use S&S product.

Would have put this in with my tale of the course but thought this deserved its own thread.
We were out on the range when about 15-20 HD's rode by and our instructor was waving. Turns out that they were part of his chapter and were going out on there weekly Sunday ride. During a break he told us that he got a call from one of them and told him that they were running late.
Apparently, they were filling up at BP as usual when all of sudden, the place is getting robbed. Now I'm thinking, who in their right mind is going to rob a place with a bunch of bikers there???!!! (Can you say world's dumbest criminals?!!!)
The thieves take off and who do you think follows? Yep, the bikers. Well, they caught them and held them for the cops. But from what the instructor said, the thieves didn't exactly look the same as they did before they robbed the place!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just thought that was too good not to share!
