S&W AWARDS AND PHOTOS REINLISTS WITH THE T3 ALL STAR SERIES

(Woodhull, NY) S&W Awards and Photos of Corning, NY will be back with the T3 All Star Series for 358 Modifieds presented by Troyer Race Cars in 2008 as the Official Photographers, Trophy and Plaque supplier of the series. When the fourth year touring group begins its 2008 campaign the winner of the scheduled season opener will be receiving a different style of trophy, similar to last season compliments of the series. For the first two full seasons each feature winner received a customary 6’ tall trophy which at the time was symbolic of winning a T3 event; however that all changed in 2007. “Scott Lyon of S&W Awards and I had been talking for quite some time about going to a different style of trophy. At one time the 6 footers were a big deal, now everyone gives them out, so we went to an even more unique style of trophy, stated T3 promoter, Kenny Shupp. When we started this series four years ago it was kind of a throw back to the old All Star League that competed on both black top and dirt in the late 60’s. I liked the concept of a touring series with the best names in the business taking part, so last year we decided to go with a more traditional trophy of that era and each feature winner last season just love it.”

The winner’s trophy will be on display at one of the upcoming car shows that the T3 All Star Series will be present at in the spring of 2008. I’m not sure just yet when we’ll unveil the trophy but going with our theme, it will be a very unique piece and it will be constructed by S&W Awards and Photos.”

Along with being a distributor of the Gater Racing News, S&W Awards and Photos will also be back at the Woodhull Raceway in 2008 as the Official Photographers and will run the tracks photo and novelty stand.

HAZLITT 1852 VINEYARDS TO SPONSOR THE RED CAT RE-DRAW FOR THE T3 ALL STAR SERIES FOR 358 MODIFIEDS PRESENTED BY TROYER RACE CARS.

(Woodhull, NY) At each Motorsports event where a draw/redraw is involved there is much anticipation as to first of all who will qualify into the re-draw and secondly who will pull pill #1. In the case of the T3 All Star Series for 358 Modifieds presented by Troyer Race Cars at each tour event the top twelve qualifiers automatically go into the Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards Red Cat Redraw. Named after the highly popular party/hot tub wine, the Red Cat Pole Position is the starting spot that all drivers are looking for. Instead of the customary pills or Popsicle sticks, the T3 Series uses actual bottles of Red Cat Wine for the top twelve re-draw spots. “I’ve never seen anything quite like it, stated T3 promoter, Kenny Shupp Jr. After the drivers are qualified it is a foot race to the re-draw area because everyone wants a bottle of the Red Cat. It has even gotten to the point where many of the driver’s wives, mothers and girl friends draw for them simply because they want the Red Cat for themselves.” Each bottle has a number taped to the bottom; one thru twelve and that signifies where each driver is to start in the feature event. The Red Cat in many cases is used for celebrations after the races are completed and several drivers put them on their trophy shelves as keep sake. Whatever the case the popularity of this Finger Lakes Wine has drawn the attention of race fans all over the northeast. “Our sales of Red Cat Wine have gone through the roof the past few years and we feel that a lot of it has to do with the race crowd. With the T3 Series running at numerous tracks all over New York and Pennsylvania it has given our company new exposure to some areas that we perhaps we wouldn’t reach out to otherwise.” That according to Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards owner, Doug Hazlitt.

For the fourth consecutive year, Hazlitt’s will sponsor the Red Cat Re-draw and as they have done in the past each of the top ten finishers in the final 2008 point tally will each receive a complementary bottle of the red wine. Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards in located just ten miles north of Watkins Glen, NY on Rt. 414. Situated high atop the eastern side of beautiful Seneca Lake, Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards has a complete retail and merchandise shop and also offers wine tastings Monday thru Saturday.

GENESIS SHOCKS JOINS THE T3 ALL STAR SERIES FOR 358 MODIFIEDS PRESENTED BY TROYER RACE CARS FOR THE 2008 CAMPAIGN.

Several “Shocking Experience” awards to be handed out during the season

(Woodhull, NY) Mike Farr may now reside in Georgia; however his racing roots are still firmly planted in the Northeast quadrant of the United States. Farr, who grew up near the Jamestown/Erie regions of New York and Pennsylvania has dedicated all of his adult life to the sport of auto racing. Having been affiliated over the years with such famous shock companies as Carrera and Pro, Mike Farr took a gamble and started his own shock absorber company in March of 2006. He along with partner, Mike Lutz of Atlanta started Genesis Shocks located in Roswell, Georgia and within just a couple of year’s the business has grown by tremendous proportions. Farr recently announced plans to re-join the T3 All Star Series for 358 Modifieds as an associate sponsor for the 2008 season which currently involves 7 events at 5 different race venues spread across the Twin Tiers of NY and Pa. “Right now we are a new, young company and we just can’t dive right into any type of a big time sponsorship deal stated Farr from his Roswell, Georgia office. However, we are a grass roots company with a lot of experience in what we’re doing and the T3 Series shares the same values. Likewise, they are growing as well, and this will be a perfect relationship.” Genesis looks to gain more recognition and put more of their products on 358 Modifieds that run the T3 Series as well several other classes of competition and tour groups that they are already affiliated with. 358 Modified standout, Dylan Dewert picked up one T3 All Star Series feature win last season at the Woodhull Raceway and finished third in the final “07” T3 All Star Series point standings with Genesis Shocks bolted onto his machine. Top Big Block Modified pilots like Bob McCreadie, Jeff Hoetzler, Jimmy Chester, and Ritchie Pratt along with several MAC Late Model Series and WoO Late Model drivers like Chub Frank and BRP 360 LM feature winner, Jimmy Johnson already know the value of having Genesis Shocks on their mounts and so can you.

Like last season, Genesis Shocks will provide redeemable product discount certificates for use during the 2008 T3 All Star Series for 358 Modifieds campaign and no less than 5 different drivers will share in the “Shocking Experience” contingency prize incentives. Details on eligibility will be forthcoming.

5020 Old Ellis Pointe

CALAMAN’S RADIATOR BECOMES THE LATEST SPONSOR TO JOIN THE T3 ALL STAR SERIES FOR 358 MODIFIEDS PRESENTED BY TROYER RACE CARS.

Mr. Leak joins such other prominent businesses like Marollo Racing Engines, Swarthout Recycling, Lias Tire, ISC Racers Tape, Dewert Speed, Bob Hilbert Sportswear, VP Racing Fuels, S&W Awards and Photos, Signs Plus, Leaf Racewear, Genesis Shocks and Insinger Performance as contingency sponsors of the fourth year touring group.

(Woodhull, NY) With offices located in Monroeton, Pa., Calaman’s Radiator recently signed on as the newest sponsor of the T3 All Star Series for 358 Modifieds presented by Troyer Race Cars. Better know as “Mr. LEAK”, Dave Calaman is a racer himself and knows just exactly what race teams are looking for when it comes to cooling the monster small block power plants that propel drivers competing in the Twin Tiers Touring group.

In addition to manufacturing radiators, Calaman’s also does repair work on all types of automotive cooling systems including street vehicles, large trucks and farm equipment.

SWARTHOUT RECYCLING REJOINS THE T3 ALL STAR SERIES FOR 358 MODIFIEDS PRESENTED BY TROYER RACE CARS AS A MAJOR POINT FUND CONTRIBUTOR.

(Woodhull, NY) Swarthout Recycling of Beaver Dams, NY will re-join the T3 All Star Series for 358 Modifieds presented by Troyer Race Cars in 2008 as a point fund contributor. Known as one of the largest metal recycling companies in the region, Swarthout Recycling will once again pump much needed cash into the point fund which T3 officials hope will draw more traveling teams to the fourth year tour. The series has been very fortunate to have numerous product contingency sponsors help out by offering goods and services either on a race to race deal or at the end of the season according to the final point tally, but in the case of Swarthout Recycling 100% of the cash donation goes directly into the season ending point fund which is shared by the top point getters. According to Brian Swarthout of Swarthout Recycling, “I am a racer myself and I know first hand how much the racers need the additional money help cover expenses.” It should be noted that Brian Swarthout is a two time Black Rock Speedway 358 Modified Track Champion and will make a run for his third title in 2008. “I like to hit a few of the T3 events during the season when my schedule permits, noted Swarthout. But, because of our family owned business, the amount of time that the team and I put into preparation for weekly competition at Black Rock, I probably won’t attend to many T3 All Star Series events this year.”

Tentative plans call for Swarthout to take on the high banks of the Woodhull Raceway on a limited basis in 2008 and he did finish in the final top ten point standings in the inaugural 2005 T3 All Star Series.

Like last season all of the qualifying heat races at the 2008 T3 events will be referred to as the Swarthout Recycling Qualifying Heat Events.

It was not disclosed how much money Swarthout’s will pump into the T3 All Star Series season ending point fund, but according to T3 officials it is “Substantial and we can’t thank Brian and his family enough for helping boost our 2008 point fund.” For any additional information on the T3 All Star Series for 358 Modifieds simply go to the web at www.t3allstarseries.com.
