*G Squared to focus on getting better*

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (August 17, 2005) - After qualifying well at the last 
few NHRA national events, Chip Ellis, aboard the G Squared S&S Buells, 
moves to Memphis for the 18th annual NHRA O'Reilly Mid-South Nationals, 
a race at which G Squared Motorsports owners, George Bryce and George 
Smith, hope to overcome the runaway performance of the Vance & Hines 
Screamin' Eagle V-Rods and the new weight reduction for the Suzukis.

"My partner George Smith spends much of his time away from the track at 
S&S working with them on the R&D to develop the necessary horsepower so 
that we can advance to the performance level that the Screamin' Eagle 
team enjoys at this time.  I have no doubt that with hard work and much 
effort from everybody involved with our program that it won't be long 
before we are running right there with those guys," said Bryce.
 
"Until we reach that level we will continue to improve our tune up and 
Chip will concentrate on driving the bike.  With some luck, it's still 
possible to beat those two bikes (of Screamin' Eagle)."

Also, beginning with this weekend's race in Memphis NHRA has reduced by 
10 pounds, from 600 to 590 pounds, the minimum weight requirement for 
the Suzuki entries in the Pro Stock Motorcycle class.  No change was 
made for the V-Twin powered entries.

Bryce reflected on this change for the Suzuki and indicated that he 
plans no changes to his program as a result of the new weight rule for 
the Suzukis.

"The 10 pounds might help the Suzukis' elapsed time a hundred or two," 
said Bryce.  "The 10 pounds is just throwing a bone to the Suzuki guys 
and gals that are complaining about how fast Andrew (Hines) and GT 
(Tonglet) on the V-Rods are going.  My personal feeling is that they 
should add 25 pounds to the Screamin' Eagle bikes and leave everybody 
else alone.  That's what I would wish for right now.

"The new weight rule won't cause us to do anything different.  We can't 
focus on the competition. We have no change, so we can only focus on 
doing the best we can with are own stuff. At the present, nobody is out 
running us.  We are beating ourselves.  We're going to focus on making 
ourselves better."

Ellis enters this event, the 11th of 15 races on the NHRA POWERade Drag 
Racing Series, No. 4 in the POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle point standings.

*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*.
