From a press release issued by Brid Caveney of West Coast Racing, sponsored by Works Performance:

Mislaid Conrod

At sometime during the recent AHRMA road races at Barbers Motorsports Park (September 26-29) and Talladega Gran Prix Raceway (October 3-5) in Alabama, a motorcycle connecting rod, belonging to Works Performance owner (and sponsor) Gilles Vaillancourt, went “walkabout” from the Works Performance transporter.

The rod was housed in a wooden cigar box, and was one of Gil’s sentimental keepsakes. It is of no use to anyone–other than its rightful owner.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of the rod, or can shed any light on its disappearance, can they please contact:

Works Performance, (818)701-1010, e-mail [email protected],

or

Works Performance sponsored rider Brid Caveney, (831)484-7778, e-mail [email protected],

or

Matt Benson at the AHRMA publications office, (814) 778-2291, e-mail [email protected].

Alternatively, the rod can be sent to:

West Coast Racing,
820 Park Row #575
Salinas, CA 93901

who will be only too pleased to pay any freight costs–NO questions asked.
