Bridgestone has increased its strong contingency for AFM racers offering payouts to support the club’s new Novice classes. 2012 contingency awards totaling $166,775 are available to AFM racers. Viets Performance continues as the Bridgestone race tire for the area and will provide trackside sales and tire service at AFM’s Round 1 at Buttonwillow Raceway March 1718. “Bridgestone continues to offer strong contingency with a national program that rewards the rider directly with certificates we accept like cash. With Bridgestone’s increased contingency for AFM, both Expert and Novice racers have a great opportunity.” said Jeff Viets. “Bridgestone race tires deliver outstanding performance with a wide operating range and excellent wear life at a really competitive price point. And their contingency program pays like clockwork. “As usual, at Buttonwillow we’ll have the full line of Bridgestone’s DOT race tires and Battlax slicks in several compounds and constructions, from 125GP and 250GP bikes on up. Availability with Bridgestone isn’t an issue but we’d like to hear from riders in advance as far as what tires they’d like so we can be sure to have them on hand. “Bridgestone’s new 190/650 rear slick has received rave reviews in off-season testing. The Battlax R10 DOTs were proven in AFM Open Production last year with development rider Hollis Adams’ 2nd place at Infineon and 3 consecutive wins at Thunderhill on a 5-year-old, stock GSXR1000 with LeoVince exhaust.” Viets will have special sales to help kick off the AFM season at the Buttonwillow opener, and a pre-race event on Saturday March 10th here in the Bay Area to help local riders who’d like tire service, VP Racing fuel or other parts before making the trip South.
