Chris “Opie” Caylor Prepares to Battle for 2003 Championship

Marietta, GA – Chris “Opie” Caylor and Team EMGO USA / 1888FASTLAP.com unite again to pursue this year’s AMA Pro Racing’s, Genuine Suzuki
Accessories Superstock Series championship. Caylor is more determined than ever to continue the success of his second place finish at last
year’s season finale.

Opie is proud to announce new sponsorships with Arai helmets and Freewheeling Honda / Suzuki / Triumph of Douglasville, Georgia. During
their year-end riders’ banquet, Freewheeling’s race team president, Tom Addington, stated, “We are proud of Opie winning the Horizon Award. He
will be a great role model for the newcomers to our sport.” A supporter of all forms of motor sport since 1975, Freewheeling is the 2002 winner
of the Georgia Promoter Group Championship Series. Its contingency program paid more than $15,000 in “Freewheeling Bucks” to 65 sponsored
racers during the 2002 season. “I’m proud to be a member of the Freewheeling family,” Opie said during the banquet. Opie is also very pleased he will be wearing Arai’s new RX-7 Corsair helmet for the 2003 season.

Sponsors continuing to back Opie’s efforts for the championship include EMGO International Ltd., 1888FastLap.com, Pirelli Tires, Pit Bull
Motorcycle Stands, Traxxion Dynamics, Penske Shocks, M4 Performance Exhaust, VP Racing Fuels, Vortex Racing Components, MPA Paint Services,
Red Line Oils, EBC Brakes, Sharkskinz Racing Bodies, Zero Gravity Windscreens and BBC Racing.

Crew chief / lead mechanic Terry Gardner and race mechanic Chuck DiGregorio return for another season with Opie to tune and maintain the Team EMGO USA / 1888FastLap.com Suzuki GSX-R 750s. Gardner’s experience and attention to detail combined with DeGregorio’s diligence were
instrumental in putting Team EMGO USA / 1888FastLap.com on the box at the VIR Lightning Nationals in 2002.

Rodney Vaughn of 1888FastLap.com’s race engine building services will build the engines for the Team EMGO USA / 1888FASTLAP.com GSX-R 750s.
Vaughn built engines for half of the 12 podium spots at the 2002 WERA / Suzuki Cup Finals. Caylor has been racing-and winning-with Vaughn
engines since 1999.

Craig “Huey” Stewart joins the team as public relations liaison. Stewart has worked with Opie in the past as builder and crew chief for his
WERA-winning Suzuki SV-650.

Look for Opie Caylor and Team EMGO USA / 1888FastLap.com at the front of every Genuine Suzuki Accessories Superstock race this year.
