Glenn Szarek made the trip from Virginia to Indiana chasing Yamaha contingency money at the WERA Regional Sprint race at Putnam Park Road Course in August of 1994. The trip proved to be well worth the effort. Szarek raced his Yamaha FZR 600 in four Yamaha paying races and took home a total of $2500. Billy Eisenacher came up from Georgia and earned $2100 in Yamaha money. Szarek and Eisenacher dominated the Yamaha-paying races leaving most of the normal WERA North Central Region riders high and dry.
