Ricci Motorsports plans to offer transportation for 12 bikes and gear from Woodinville, Washington (near Seattle) to the Suzuki Cup Finals scheduled for October 23-28 in conjunction with the WERA Grand National Finals at Road Atlanta. The bikes will be hauled inside the team’s 46-foot United Express Lines trailer, and, for $500, riders will be allowed to send one bike, extra wheels, and a couple of bins of parts, tools, equipment, etc.

Ricci Motorsports owner Gary Ricci pointed out that, “With the new payout system, 20th place pays out $500. We’re just trying to give racers from the Northwest the opportunity to go to the Suzuki Cup.”

Racers interested in sending a bike or bikes with Ricci Motorsports can contact Gary Ricci at (425) 424-3888 or via e-mail at [email protected].
