Honda Cranks Up Contingency Payouts in the Southwest

Honda recently updated their Red Rider Rewards program for 2013, adding Southern California's Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association (CVMA), M1 Grand Prix (M1GP), and Western Easter Roadracing Association's (WERA) Western branch to a lengthy list of roadrace clubs eligible for a generous purse. Honda says that any streetbike legal for "any 250, 500, 600 or 1000cc four stroke class" qualifies for contingency, which means the CBR250R, Moriwaki MD250H, CBR600RR, CBR1000RR, and new CB500R and Moto3-spec NSF250 are all eligible. Payouts are enticing: $750 for first place, $500 for second, and $400 for third. If you want a crack at the cash, visit for more details and complete rules.
