A very proud moment for our little company, and a little background for you.

About 3 weeks ago, my phone rang, and on the other end was a very nice gentleman by the name of Mark Klenin: http://www.world-challenge.com/index...=67&Itemid=162



Mark races his V8 Vantage GT4 Racing car in the Pirelli World Challenge series GTS class. A privateer team up against much bigger budgets, but very much holding their own.

They say sponsorship is all about finding similar philosophies and stories and that sounded very much familiar to us at Velocity. So, the deal was done and we have officially 'gone racing.'

Very proud to have our name on his car, and to see him out there fighting for it. This weekend they competed at Road America and finished a very respectable 10th & 11th in the two races. You can follow the series here: http://www.world-challenge.com/, and watch the Road America round on NBC Sports at Friday, July 4 at 6:30 p.m. EST (re-air Saturday, Aug. 2 at 12:30 a.m.)

The Car in Action over the weekend (big thanks to Mark for hanging the tail out so the Velocity Logo was visible to the camera!:

 

Good luck and thanks for supporting the marque!

 

Thanks Scott. I couldn't be happier to be involved, and very glad that Mark found us and made the call!

Here's a video World Challenge just released. Mark won himself some cash for making the best start - made up 7 places on the first lap!

 

Cool!
