In the MRA we will have seven sprint races which will have minceptor races. Each race has a $1500 purse and there is a $10K points fund for the season. In addition there will be national races where the top 5 from each club will be paid to go and race for another $40K or so. We (MRA) are also having a similar program from Suzuki for *both* the GSXR 750 and GSXR 1100. These are powerful incentives to get me on a four stroke next year, but alas the Gamma is THE bike for 86. George Tatge
