Early exit for G Squared and Chip Ellis at Englishtown

ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (June 19, 2005) -  After advancing four rounds and 
winning the CARQUEST Auto Parts Nationals at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, 
Ill. last weekend,  Chip Ellis, aboard the G Squared/S&S Buell, exited 
the NHRA K&N Filters SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park 
in Englishtown, N.J., in the first round.

In the first round of eliminations, Angelle Sampey turned Ellis back 
when she recorded a pass of 7.224 seconds to 7.276 seconds for Ellis.

George Bryce, who along with partner George Smith owns G Squared 
Motorsports, indicated that both good news and bad news came out of the 
visit to Englishtown for the G Squared and Muzzy Buells.

"We spent the weekend trying to learn more about the new motorcycle and 
the new S&S engine program," said Bryce.  "We stayed and tested at 
Chicago, along with the Muzzy-built Buell, following the national event 
there.  Neither of our teams was satisfied with their performance level. 
Both bikes went fast during the test session.

"Then came the bad news for G Squared, we came here and struggled.  
After qualifying pretty good, we went the wrong way on our tune up for 
the first round, slowed and lost the round.

"For the Muzzy/S&S-powered Buell, with Ryan Schnitz aboard, the results 
was just the opposite.  They struggled some during qualifying only to 
see Schnitz run 7.019 seconds in the opening round, the low elapsed time 
of the event.  That's the good news, especially for the S&S power plant.

"This G Squared team learned some things that didn't pay this weekend 
but it will pay for us in the future, starting next weekend at St. 
Louis."    

NEXT RACE: The NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series moves straight to 
Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Ill., just across the river 
from St. Louis, for the Ninth annual NHRA Sears Craftsman Nationals 
which get underway June 24-26.

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.
