A special THANK YOU to Advanced Racing Suspensions, and Stealth Chassis for a great night!
Garrett ran nearly 180+ laps in a Scooter Ellis Chili Bowl midget at Paragon Indiana's 3/8 mile clay oval. Everything from pushing-off to shutting down, Garrett was able to learn nearly all aspects of running a prestigious dirt midget. He had a great time and has made a new leap in learning how different genre cars react differently to throttle, brake, and steering inputs. Again, it was so great to have Scooter, Joey, Corey, Tony, and TNT there! Thanks again guys!

Congratulations to Dylan Kadous on the NW win! Great job Dylan!
Stay tuned for more results soon! Feb 5, 2009 Garrett Rider Featured in Newsstand Ad Campaign!
Garrett Rider is currently featured in the SEMA MPMC "Take a Friend to the Races" ad campaign. This ad will be used in multiple newsstand publications like Hot Rod, Car Craft, Circle Track and many of the 152 magazine titles published by the likes of Source Interlink (formerly Peterson Publishing) and other popular magazines. Ads will be ran between now and August for the 2009 campaign. The ads are to promote motorsports in general and are focused on August as the Motorsports Awareness month. Many participating race tracks will have free tickets available to current fans so they can take their "non-racer" friends to the races.
“Take a Friend” Motorsports Promotional Program Takes Off
The new program from the
Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC) to promote attendance at
motorsports events and raise public awareness of the motorsports industry is
taking off. MPMC Select Committee members who exhibited at the 2008 SEMA Show
used the opportunity to promote the program from their booths, and a looping
PowerPoint presentation in the MPMC council booth featured several promotional
slides.

Our apologizes to our friends at Illinois Frame. Typically Illinois Frame - Tractor/Trailer - Parts and Service is a big sponsor on the race car's wing. However, after Garrett got upside down August 29 we've had to run our spare wing without the normal graphics. Sorry Tinker!
Special thanks to Jeff, Sandy, Zach, Aaron, Grandma, and Grandpa Rider for traveling 5 hours from Illinois to see the big wins!
