NHRA News: Ellis' contract with G-Squared will not be renewed for 2008 (11/15/2007)


Could Angelle end up on the G2 Buell?

The silly season lives on. I never thought this scenario would happen. I'd love to see Angelle out there racing but I'd rather see her on a Suzuki.

Buell's and Hardley's suck!

Angelle definitely has what it takes to put a G-Squared Buell in the Winner's Circle. I'd love to see her back with George and Jackie.

Say it isn't so!!! This sucks!!

T

great if they team up with ANgelle bummer for Chip. Wish they could have kept them both

With all the work Chip has done for ALL the Buells..doesn't hardly seem right..IMO.

Saw on another site that G2 motorsports has been working on a Suzuki combination so......

I am a little shocked that someone that finishes in 3rd place would get the boot! It really stinks that he is out of a ride.

i agree with you

Looks like they realize that Angelle has the best shot at bringing the wins and the sponsor appeal. It will be fun to hear Angelle say how great a V-Twin is now!

Up until a year or two ago, the Bryces always finished either #1 or #2. They won events every year. Their rider ("driver", sorry George) had the fastest bike at many events this year, and not a single victory to show for it... No #1 and no #2 either. I'm not shocked in the least.

Man-I feel as bad for George + Jackie as I do for Chip - I'm sure it was not an easy discission)-but the writing has been on the wall for at least a 1/2 season. Third would be a great finish-for a newcomer like Peggy L.-and a championship is great for someone with a few years under his belt like Matt--but Chip has close to 20 years on both of them-and helped build their bikes.
Having Drag Specialties on the bike means its pretty much self-sponsored. If you have the #1 plate, you have something to go out+ try to sell to a sponsor. Its hard to sell "we had the fastest bike at most races-but no wins to show for it." As long as there has been P/SB, its been Star vs. V+H. And I can remember (many) years ago other riders that had Star motors complaining their motors werent as good as the house bike--and now Star has a winless season while their bikes picked up Wallys + a championship.

Note: this post was in no way meant to bash Chip (I've been a fan since the Riceburner F/b) Nor to the Smith family for their tuning skills--bashers will now have to read something else into it to make it a 10 pager.
