Michelin has released details of a new tire contingency program to support the growing sport of Supermotard racing. Contingencies totaling $121,790 have been posted for races organized by nine different Supermotard organizations around the United States.
Supermoto USA leads the way with $34,040 posted in six classes over 23 events. The Super Motard series comes second with a total of $17,000 of Michelin contingency available in seven classes at 10 events. The Primedia Moto-Masters series has $16,800 up for grabs in two classes at eight events. The six-round AMA Supermoto series will have $13,950 in contingencies for its two classes. The Midwest organization will have $10,360 offered in six classes at seven events. SuperBikers 2, Super TT and the Mile High series will each have $8880 available in six classes at six events. And finally, the CMRA’s Super Motard classes, which run at CCS/CMRA road race events, will have $3000 available in two classes at six races.
Contingency rules are very similar to those found in traditional road racing, but full details are available at www.bibmen.com under the 2003 Road Race Contingency banner.
