It was called the "oral office" when Clinton was in it.
Quit asking me questions that make me remember how long ago that was!

Hey what are they going to call that place after the election?

Top fuel need forget it too because they are few than 7 habitually

For drag race, contingency payments will not be made to classes that have fewer than seven (7) riders.extract from http://www.teamsuzuki.com/DragRacing/Contingency/

The address part is simple ,but I don't believe the US hands out SS #'s to anyone but US citizens. If I'm wrong ,I'll accept the heaps of abuse...

I sure hope that you are wrong Jack as I think Dan Cryderman should get a little back for all he has spent on his racebike.

So would that mean that all of my Canadian Friends need to put their bikes in my name for contingency's! Ha!

I can't believe that Suzuki would be predjudice, to the Canadians.

Hey my buddy Kono would know if anyone would!

Maybe he will let us know!

Hi Jack,

That seems very strange!!! I've never heard anywhere before that foreigners do not get the posted contingency. I guess you have an AMA Prostar License as well as a Canadian one so it would be doubly strange?

Maybe Wade could comment?

And as US Suzuki deems that foreigners ( anyone not a US citizen with US address & Social Security # ) are not eligible for Suzuki contingency $$, you may see Pollard's bike listed as an 08 PUMA at Valdosta,lol...

[QUOTE=Bo Thorselius]

Jack,

You missed Rikard Gustafsson in FB. He went 6.48 and he is using Canadian cases. 

Bo,you are correct - forgot Gustaffson's bike uses Steve Dawson's Pro 1 cases.Thanks for the reminder, I saw the :48 and figured he could possibly be the one Clark's record but it wasn't to be. I think he's also going to Valdosta.

Wow,when I read the results and saw Geoff ran a 6.17 222 I almost fell off my chair.That is freakin' awesome.Too bad I wasn't there to see it,I would have loved that.I was too busy standing around at the Turkey Nationals trying not to fall asleep between passes.

Be looking forward to the rest of the AMA dragbike season now more than ever.

off topic note: for those that know where I work,(all 3 or 4 of you)I quit last week and am now working for the soon to be new Honda Powersports dealer in London.I don't know if admin will spaz on me for dropping the name but it has a lot to do with the city's nickname,and is due to open in November.I dropped a subtle hint about sponsorship,no bites yet.
Constantly pursuing the perfect pass,which I'll no doubt complain about when I make it.

Johnny,pm sent.Pollard's new bike is a Suzuki. I don't have to like it but it is and it's funny you bring that up because the tech folks at AMA Dragbike just cleared that up for me today. Engine ID is done on bore spacing and cylinder stud location and the PUMA bottom ends that McBride,Perry and Pollard all use are based on GS Zuk architecture.

So send $$, lol.
