Grand Bend Benson Tour Updates
Paul Spriet/Arnie Malcolm - March 6, 2010
LONDON AUTO GROUP TAKE TITLE RIGHTS TO GRAND BEND TOUR EVENT
We have spoken about it many, many times but we can not say it enough, we are very fortunate when it comes to advertising support for our racing endeavors. And that stands out loud and clear once again as we make the announcement that a London, Ontario Auto Group has purchased the title rights to our first Benson Auto Parts Tour event of the season at Grand Bend Motorplex. This is incredible news, as it once again gives all of the tour races in the series a title rights holder for the 2010 racing season. The Auto Group is made up of a Chrysler dealership, a Ford Dealership and a Toyota Dealership. This alone has too be a first as it will have three different automakers signing on to promote and be part of the first event on the season long Benson Tour. Wharncliffe Chrysler Jeep Dodge, Oakridge Ford and Toyota Town make up this group of dealerships that will all have their name attached to the promotions and producing of what we expect to be just a tremendous event at the first class facility in Grand Bend, Ontario. No its not the first time a car dealership, or a car brand has held the title rights to a major drag race, but I think one would be hard pressed to find an event that has three different brands and dealerships sharing the lime light. This is of course just great news for the event as this is the type of support that can take a event to a whole new level, and attract a whole lot more attention for everyone concerned. The involvement will also give the sport of drag racing a chance to showcase itself in front of a possible whole new group of fans as we will be working with the dealership to get as many customers, employee's and associates out too the race as possible, which in many cases may be the first time for some. The dealerships will also have a large display of both performance cars and towing capable vehicles too not only show the fans, but to showcase the dealerships. You can be that you will see a new Dodge Challenger and a Mustang for sure and maybe even a match race between two such vehicles. So once again we head into the spring with some very uplifting news, and with more too come concerning this race look out folks this is one you wont want to miss.
Wharncliffe Chrysler Jeep Dodge, Oakridge Ford and Toyota Town in London, Ontario treats the needs of each individual customer with paramount concern.

J&S COLLISION SIGNS ON TO BACK GRAND BEND TOUR RACE
Jamie and Shelia Tupper are not only some of the most fun people to have at a race track, they are also some of the most successful busy people who just happen too drag race also. The owners and operators of J&S Collision and Refinishing in Tillsonburg, Ontario is proof of that fact as they operate one of the most successful paint and refinishing business's in Southern Ontario. J&S Collision will once again as they did in 2009 back the Grand Bend Benson Tour event as presenters, and will present the Top Dragster Race holding title rights to this class at the event. Jamie and Shelia are regulars on the tour and no one will disagree that along with being one of the very best competitors on the tour, they are unquestionably some of the most fun people too have around once the racing is put too bed. Jamie and Shelia joined the tour, what seems like many years ago at a stop in Elliott Lake where they won there first ever big dollar events taking home their first ever $5000. wins, there has be many since that time including a big win last year at the Grand Bend race itself as well as the tour event at Shannonville. This type of support is one of the reason we have been able to put this event on and the main reason this race has been one of the most successful on the tour.
PRO RACING FUELS LOW QUALIFIER AWARDS FOR T/S & T/D @ THE BEND
We have and we will continue to work hard too add as much as we can too the Grand Bend Motorplex Benson Tour event On June 11-12-13, and will do so right up too the race weekend. And with that in mind we are very pleased to announce that Pro Racing Fuels of Southern Ontario will present the low qualifier's in Top Dragster and in Top Sportsman with a drum of methanol racing fuel. We are pleased with this start on our specialty awards and hope to continue to add to this as the race weekend nears in early June. Pro Racing Fuels has been a huge supporter of everything we have done in drag racing and for a very long time, so when Mitch added his name to the growing lists of advertisers for this event at the Bend we where very pleased but not surprised. Pro Racing Fuels has been a leader in the fuel supply's for the racing community for longer than I can remember and was and is the leader when it comes to unleaded racing fuel, which most of the racing community use's if not running methanol. The Top Sportsman and Top Dragster Class's at Grand Bend where one of the high points of the event last year and expectations are for a larger and quicker class this season. There will be more, but this along with the very good payout ($2000. to win) should make for some very good racing in this class as we kick off the season at Grand Bend.
