Final qualifying ladder finds Chip Ellis in No. 4 position

ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (June 18, 2005) - For the 10th time in 10 NHRA races, 
Chip Ellis placed the G Squared/S&S Buell in the top half of the Pro 
Stock Motorcycle field.

Ellis' best qualifying pass of 7.112 seconds at 185.10 mph placed the 
Americus, Ga., driver in the No. 4 position on the final ladder for the 
NHRA K&N Filters SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in 
Englishtown, N.J.

Ellis, an NHRA Auto Club of Southern California Road to the Future 
(Rookie of the Year) candidate this year, joined G Squared Motorsports, 
owned by George Bryce and George Smith, at Indy in 2004, running the 
final four races of the year.  This is the sixth of 15 races for Pro 
Stock Motorcycles on the 2005 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.

"Being firmly in the field, we tried some stuff today to see how this 
S&S-powered Buell would react," said Ellis.  "We're putting in our best 
S&S engine for eliminations tomorrow.  Today was to try things; tomorrow 
we'll try to double up."  
     
Ellis begins his quest for his second consecutive Pro Stock Motorcycle 
title on Sunday with eliminations for all classes getting underway at 11 
a.m.  In the opening round he will be paired against Angelle Sampey.  
Sampey qualified No. 13 with an elapsed time of 7.182 seconds.  Time is 
local Englishtown, N.J. time  --  Eastern Time (ET) --  and subject to 
change at anytime.

G SQUARED MOTORSPORTS:  When Harley Davidson accelerated their effort in 
NHRA, S&S Cycle decided in 2002 to join the battle.  Because of his vast 
R&D experience, coupled with his racing background, S&S asked George 
Smith to head their project to field a competitive S&S V-Twin bike on 
the NHRA circuit.  Smith immediately asked George Bryce, who had been 
working with S&S Cycle on a similar project, to join the new endeavor 
and G Squared Motorsports was formed in 2003.  Both Smith and Bryce knew 
if they collaborated on the project, joining the resources, knowledge 
and talents of S&S and Star Racing, they could produce a competitive 
bike to race in Pro Stock Motorcycle competition on the NHRA POWERade 
Drag Racing Series.  The G Squared/S&S-powered V-Twin Buell debuted in 2004.
