Harley AMA Series
Harley-Davidson Motor Company is pleased to announce a $45,000 contingency fund in support of the AMA Pro Racing Vance & Hines XR1200 Series, which expands to nine rounds of the 2011 AMA Pro Road Racing season schedule with a kickoff at Daytona International Speedway March 10-12.
The contingency program will pay out $5,000 to the top 10 finishers in each of the AMA series’ nine rounds, with each race winner earning $1,250 from Harley-Davidson.
Second place will receive $1,000, followed by $750 for third, and $500 for fourth. Fifth through tenth place finishers will each receive $250.
