Over 60 GSX-R riders from all across the country came to Road Atlanta to compete for $40,000 in prize money. Friends and family came to share the excitement. And Doug Polen and Dan Chivington came away the winners. Chivington passed Polen and Ron Ewerth on the last comer of the last lap to win the 1100 final and $6,000. The remaining $14,000 went to the next 13 riders. But Polen, wearing No.2, tried harder and won the 750 final and $5,000. The remaining $15,000 wentto the next 19 riders. That was the idea all year long. To spread the wealth: $285,000 total prize money to encourage and develop new riders. And reward the stars. Plus, the top three riders in each class at Road Atlanta were honored with National Cup trophies. A great finish to a very good year. Now we look ahead to 'f!!1. Right around the comer.
