SKF and Chicago Rawhide have announced the winners of their Heavy-Duty Cash/Harley-Davidson contest.

The promotion, which began in the spring of 2002, awarded cash as well as a chance to win the Grand Prize of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Altogether, four Harley Davidson FXDL Lowrider motorcycles were awarded --three to technicians and one to a distributor sales representative.
The winning technicians are: Jim Luke from HRC Trucking in Powhatan Point, Ohio; Brian Driscoll from Greggo & Ferrarra Inc, in Wilmington, Del.; and Gale Janzen from Kindersley Transport Trailer Shop in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The winning distributor sales representative is Brandon Sattler from Sattler Supply in Eunice, La.
Technicians were asked to fill in poster-sized game boards documenting their installation of SKF and Chicago Rawhide products, including Scotseal PlusXL, Classic, Longlife seals and Chicago Rawhide hubcaps and hubodometers. Cash prizes in this contest were awarded as the game squares were filled in with every completed square being automatically entered for the Grand Prize Draw of a new Harley-Davidson FXDL Lowrider motorcycle.
Mike McGrath, vice president of the Vehicle Service Market (VSM) Sales Business Unit. "We knew that Harley-Davidson motorcycles would appeal to the majority of players in the heavy-duty aftermarket, making this promotion a big success."
