There were two of them, I had cheap seats so it was hard to tell what they were, pretty plain, with I think cc riders wote on it. The riders were #99, Lewis and I dont remember the other. I have a pretty crappy picture of one of them, but does anybody have any inforrmation on them?

Sponsered by a golf cart company. They were working out of a Wells Cargo trailer and seemed more like a local team than anything else.

The light Blue looked sharp though.

Some speculation for the color scheme attributed to the lack of Am support for Suzuki. Anyone know for sure?

Being a Texas boy, you should be ashamed of yourself not recognizing the 157, and not knowing he's been riding zukes.

I wasn't there to see the bikes up close but in 500's photo it looks like black plastic with light blue graphics on everything? How else do you explain the black along the edges and in the bolt holes on the shrouds and side panels?

Did they bead blast the rims or just powder coat them to get that look?

I never saw Hackley on the track, otherwise I would recognize him. Did he make it into the night show?

That photo does not do them justice, they looked even better in person.

Advertising is the reason the bike looks like it does. With no contingency money at stake for the guys, no limitations so we had some fun with the design.
Thanks for the comments.

Black plastic and graphics. Powder coating on rims and hubs. They do look better in person than these pic's. That may be a bias opinion....
Hackley did not race, he will be ready to go in Atlanta.

The blue bikes did their job. They really stood out and grabbed my attention. I even visited their site but it's new and has little info.

I was wondering what the right website was because ccrider.com goes to a chrome Harley accessory place.

The site will be ready in a few weeks. Mechanic's clothing, acessories, team pic's and video, etc. Further feedback is greatly appreciated.
