The first, second, and third place finishers in each of the following tiers within the race will be awarded prize money: 125cc, 250cc, and 250cc+.
Bridgestone Tires will award a certificate for one set of tires to the overall winner on Saturday. Bridgestone Tires has been supporting AHRMA’s 125cc, 250cc and 500cc+ two-stroke classes for many years.
“Come see real thoroughbred GP machines race elbow to elbow competing for the top spot on the podium, it’s sure to be exciting. So, dust off those GP bikes and come race!” said Ralph Staropoli, who organized the race purse.
