Chip Ellis aboard the G2 S&S Buell out in round two

SONOMA, Calif. (July 31, 2005) - After qualifying No. 9 at the 18th 
annual NHRA FRAM Autolite Nationals, Chip Ellis driver of the G Squared 
S&S Buell Pro Stock Motorcycle, lost to Andrew Hines in the second round 
at Infineon Raceway.

The preparation work, especially on the chassis, paid off in the opening 
round when Ellis pulled away from Craig Treble to take the win light and 
advance to the quarterfinals.  It was a 7.156-second pass for Ellis, 
while Treble followed in 7.236 seconds.

Running a 7.134-second elapsed time, a foul start in the second round 
negated any chance that Ellis had at a win.  Hines, who ran a national 
record 6.968-second pass in the opening round, followed that up with a 
7.042 second run in round two.

"We overcame a lot of problems this weekend that prevented us from 
qualifying at optimum performance level," said George Bryce, partner and 
co-owner of G Squared Motorsports along with George Smith.  "We actually 
were pleased with our results in both rounds of eliminations today.  No 
matter if Chip had cut a perfect light we would not have come out on top 
today; but removing the bikes of Andrew Hines and GT Tonglet from the 
equation today, we ran as well as anybody else out here.

"We'll go home and work on generating more horsepower and readying our 
new chassis for competition and go after them again in Brainerd."

Unofficially, Ellis is number six in POWERade points.  He leaves this 
race with 531 points.

NEXT RACE: Chip Ellis and G Squared Motorsports will take some 
much-needed time off to regroup before the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing 
Series resumes at Brainerd International Raceway, August 11-14, for the 
NHRA Lucas Oil Nationals.

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.
