Blog - Orient Express Provides 2009 AMA Pro Street Sponsorship Program & Extends ContingencyOrient Express Extends 2009 AMA Pro Street Sponsorship Program With Contingency! The Orient Express Pro Street class was extremely popular among racers and spectators over the 2008 AMA Dragbike season. Featuring 200+ MPH machines capable of low 7" passes in street legal trim, the Pro Street class claimed the fastest and quickest street bikes at every event. For the 2009 AMA Dragbike season, a revised purse structure will provide larger payouts to racers during the season. "We expect even tighter competition in Orient Express Pro Street as a result!" Orient Express owner Skip Dowling added enthusiastically that response to the Pro Street class has been terrific - "we love seeing so many folks in staging before each session! The fans love the 200+ MPH passes and close racing!" Orient Express will also extend racer support with a contingency program for racers who have purchased an Orient Express Quick Access Clutch Cover from us, and installed it on their machine. $50 will be paid to win, and $25 for runner up, with the Orient Express decals required to be present as well. "We've had a great deal of positive feedback regarding our Quick Access Clutch Covers, and this is a great way to reward folks who have supported our products" explained Orient Express owner Skip Dowling. Orient Express has been actively supporting professional motorcycle drag racing since 1973, and has built its business supporting racers, developing innovative products, and providing the finest in high performance hardware to the market. "Orient Express has been helping racers reach the next level since 1973, and we are very pleased to welcome them back to AMA Dragbike for the 2009 season. The Orient Express Pro Street class promises to capture everyone's attention this season" said Scott Valetti, AMA Dragbike President.
