"Our program for this year continues to place a primary emphasis on the local club level events as that is traditionally the best proving ground for new riders" says Yamaha Racing Manager Mike Guerra. Additionally, with the all new 2008 R6 just reaching Yamaha dealerships, we’re confident this program will prove to be a great added incentive for buyers intending to club race a new R1 or R6.
Since 2006 Yamaha has consistently posted one of the largest Road Race Contingency programs and with the Motocross and Off-Road Program has now posted a total of over $15,000,000 in contingency for the 2008 racing season.

OFF-ROAD RACING:
Yamaha Motor Corporation is proud to announce our record breaking 2008 Contingency program. Supporting our loyal YZ/WR owners with over $12 Million dollars in available contingency is just our small way of saying thank you.
Since 2006 we have raised our contingency program by over $3.3 Million dollars. The largest portion of that has been in amateur motocross, which has seen an increase of over $1.4 Million in the last two years.
In an effort to have as many YZ/WR owners eligible for contingency as possible almost all racing disciplines are supported, including Supercross, Motocross, Dirt-Track, Off-Road and SuperMoto.
At Yamaha we are always searching for new series to support and for 2008 we have added four additional amateur motocross series to our roster.
Best of all we’re announcing our new program just as the 2008 models are rolling into dealerships, so you’ll have even more time to earn contingency on your shiny new Yamaha.
