Reynolds Race 2008

[JCotton1]

I would like to announce our first official sponsor here. This thread will be used to make those names known, as well as an up to date list of any sponsorship we receive for this race. My plan is to have separate sponsorship for each event, which will be paid on the spot after the race ends. As a racer, I can tell you first hand, I race because I love to race..... I don't do it for the money. But!!! Knowing there is a decent payout for a class I am racing is a welcome bonus, especially knowing what the payout is before I leave home to attend. Getting paid cash before I leave the track is even better!!! That is what I intend to do..... does anyone have an issue with that statement?

Anyone wanting to sponsor this class, please contact me.

Without any further delay, I will now begin listing sponsors.....

Our first sponsor for TSM Reynolds 2008 is non other than :


1. $500.00 - Adam Calcote, R.R. Management and Outfitting
430 South Jackson St
Brookhaven, MS 39601

He has pledged to sponsor $500 and I believe a steak barbecue!!!
Thank you so much Adam, we appreciate your generosity!!

Next is Cotton's Performance. We are a major supplier of all performance parts one might need to upgrade their cars. Including turbos, ICers, FAST XFI, converters and tranmissions, heads, headers, custom Down Pipes, fuel systems suspension components and much more. Payout is contingent on 2 factors:
1. Racers must run a Cotton's Performance sticker
2. Racers must run at least one product purchased from Cotton's Performance

2. $250.00 - Jack Cotton, Cotton's Performance -


Tom Allen, Champion Racing Heads has pledged $250.00. Tom supplies the best Aluminum and Iron ported heads available to the Buick community. He also offers many custom billet components and porting work on heads intakes and much more. Payout is contingent on 2 factors:
1. racers must display a Champion RaCING STICKER
2. Racers must be using Champion Racing Heads aluminum or iron heads on the winning car.

Thanks Jack, I look very forward to not only being a racer in TSM but also a sponsor.

As I have stated before I am committed to seeing our class grow and prosper over the years!!!!

I had a great time at Reynolds. It is a fun, relaxed event and it is always good to see old friends and meet new ones.

So here is the TSM rundown.

Qualifing.

Highlights:

I was the 3rd car in line so I got to watch the 1st two go. Don Cruz goes up and runs a 9.026 @150.11 setting a new TSM record. Dick Kereny goes up next and goes 9.005@150.13 taking record back. Dick blew a headgasket on his run and the crew immediately goes to work pulling the head to fix it. In round 2 Don does a monster wheel stand and carries the front tires past the 330' then has to do a remarkable job of driving to keep it out of the wall. I am guessing he shifted 1-2 and maybe 2-3 with front tires in the air.

Ladder:

So here is the final qualifing ladder:
1. Dick Kereny - 9.005@150.13
2. Don Cruz - 9.026@150.11
3. Jason White - 9.399@144.13
4. Steve Sullivan - 9.564@140.33
5. Cliff Bryan - 9.822@136.17
6. Jeff Rodick - 9.914@136.15
7. Sean Hayes - 10.437@129.38
8. JD Korenzo - 10.857@125.40


Round 1:

Korenzo defeats Kereny (Kereny's crew could not get it back together in time)
Sullivan defeats Bryan
Hayes defeats Cruz (Don was unable to make the call for a mechanical reason)
White defeats Rodick


Round 2:

Sullivan defeats Korenzo
White defeats Hayes

Finals

Sullivan defeats White (Jason timed out)

Rematch for Bragging rights

White defeats Sullivan (Jason treed the crap out of me)

Overall it was a great time. I decided to split the prize money evenly so thanks to the sponsors; Adam Calcote - R.R. Management and Outfitting, Jack Cotton - Cotton's Performance, and Tom Allen - Champion Racing Heads; we were able to split $1000!! Jason and I finished Winner/Runner up couple years ago and I don't think we got anything so a Special Thanks to Jack Cotton for getting sponsors and giving us something to race for.
