Holy smokes - Just when some manufacturers cut contingency, Michelin raises it. Its going to be a good year for you Michelin riders!

Holy crap Im running michelins next year!

Look at how much 6th place pays!.... :lol:


Seriously though, that's a pretty sweet payout for top 5.

5th place $ is still better than a big fat nothin' :)

Okay, now I've got the dilema. Mr. B pays out more, and deeper. So should I say a big fat thanks to all the guyw who are coming in to "my" classes with 250 gp machinery. Cripes, I think I've moved back to about eigth place or so without even firing the bike up!!

Nah, I could always take the option of learning to corner faster, but that would entail actual work!

Se ya at the banquette, it looks like it will be another fun year!!!!!

Be happy about every lightweight bike you see on the grid. There used to be a FII class full of 250s and a FIII class full of just 125s....Ah, those were the good ol' days. :)

Seeing a bunch of LW bikes on the grid again ridden by guys who aren't afraid of corner speed would be a beautiful thing no matter what brand of tires they are on!

[benfoxmra95]

I was making a joke dave, if you look at the 6th place columns, the $ amount is huge.

But we all know that this is the total for 1-5 place.

Get it, ha ha....

Yay! Ben's back home!

And Michelin Rocks!!!!!! Only tire in my world! Thanks Vanmar!
