The finished color, does this look like the color of anyone's

racecar that runs at Big Diamond on a weekly basis????

 

New Spy Photos just released show things are coming along very fast for the 09 Mercedes Benz. Is that

a factory color? If not maybe they should think about using it, this is going to be one sharp ride. Stay tuned

for more photos as they are delivered by the F.O.F. Secret Service. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

 

 

See Your Name On The F.O.F. Mercedes Benz in 09!

 

If you ever had a thought of what it would be like to be a sponsor for a racing team, but you knew deep inside that you just didn't have the cash flow to support such a operation, well my friend times they have a changed, and boy do we have a beauty of a deal for you. Far Out Fishin is currently looking to add to their ever growing list of sponsors for their highly recognized Enduro racing team.

 

 

Kaitie McCardle and the Crew were up last Sunday morning to Blondie's Breakfast Buffet. Then later on Dave

McCardle (Kaitie's Dad), and Doug from Far out Fishin, along with Frank, and Jim Kost all took part in getting

Kaitie comfortable in the Mercedes. They took measurements, and did a mock up for the seat location, then

Jim Kost took the measurements for the roll cage. It was a great day for all, as things keep progressing fast!

 

The pricing varies, but all are very affordable, and if you want to be a part of this winning team, then please keep reading. Small sponsorship vinyl applications for 1 race will cost you $10.00, and the Larger sponsorship vinyl applications will cost you $20.00 for 1 race. You can of course opt for the full 6 race plan and go with the small sponsorship vinyl application for $60.00, or you can go with the full 6 race plan while going with the large vinyl application for $120.00.

 

 

Stand out Senior Slingshot Driver, Kaitie McCardle will be the driver for Team F.O.F. in 2009, and that has everyone excited because this young gun has what it takes to bring this years car into Victory Lane. Kaitie recorded 2 Slingshot Victories in 2008, one at Bridgeport Speedway in NJ, and the other was on the ultra high speed asphalt track "Shenandoah", which is in Virginia. Kaitie holds the current title of also recording the fastest lap ever recorded at Shenandoah in a Slingshot, which of course has put her name forever into their record books. She has risen from the Karting ranks where she produced an amazing 31 feature wins in just 3 seasons.

 

MERCEDES IS FINISHED HAVING BODY WORK DONE, NEXT

STEP IS PRIME, SAND, AND PAINT....

 

In 2007 she entered the Junior Slingshot by Tobias Division and produced 8 top 3 finishes, along with 15 top 5 finishes, and if that isn't enough to get your blood pumping, she stacked up 21 top 10 finishes. In 2008, she moved into the highly competitive Senior Slingshot by Tobias Division, and like was mentioned above, she produced two awesome feature wins. Lets not overlook her stats in 2008, where she produced once again 8 top 3 finishes, followed by 14 top 5 finishes, and much like in 2007 she finished off her totals with pounding out 22 top 10 finishes in her Rookie Season in the Senior Slingshot Division.

 

We aren't finished with Kaitie just yet, at the recent Speedway Entertainment Awards Banquet, which was just held on February 14th, Kaitie was given the Senior Divisions "Rising Star" award, which is incredible considering that she is 1 out of 400 plus Senior Slingshot drivers on the Tour. Her stats for her Rookie Junior Season, and 2008's Rookie Senior Season are very hard for any driver to match, and that is one of the biggest reasons that she picked up this great award.  F.O.F. Enduro Sponsor, and also Team Manager, Frank Niedospial (Frank's Truck Lettering) wanted to let everyone know that everyone has the highest confidence in Kaitie, and that the entire Crew knows she will do great. Kaitie's Dad, Dave, will be helping out on the car as much as possible, and of course work has already been well under way with the car getting basically ripped apart so they will meet all the safety guidelines set forth and be ready to race very shortly.
