Thumbs up Think your car is FAST?...Prove it!

As some of you know, HRE started as a racing equipment company back in the 1970’s, and in the course of our custom wheel manufacturing for tuners and racing operations, we’ve been involved with some pretty incredible performance achievements.

Grassroots Motorsports is holding the 2010 Pirelli Ultimate Track Car Challenge (UTCC) at Virginia International Raceway on July 23rd. HRE has stepped up as the Official Race Wheel Partner of UTCC, and thrown down the performance challenge with the most aggressive performance contingency sponsorship in the history of this event. See details on the HRE Blog here: http://bit.ly/9PVlTm

For those unfamiliar with contingency programs, here’s how it works: If you compete on the sponsor’s product and perform well, the sponsor rewards you. In this case, the contingency prize purse we’ve put up for grabs is serious...

Cash contingency prizes for winners on HRE Wheels: $2500 for overall winner, $1000 for each of the 3 other category winners.

If your car is already equipped with HRE wheels and you think you’ve got what it takes to win, get details for entering here: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/events/UTCC2010/

If you sign-up for the event and don’t have HRE’s on your car yet, we’re offering special racer discount pricing, so prepping your car for the podium will be a little easier, and you can get properly HRE-equipped to go after the top contingency prize. After your car is entered, call 800-598-1965 to order HRE’s for the event...You must get your order in by June 15th!

If you want to represent your car club, car forum or community, your race shop or just yourself and get national press coverage, this is a great opportunity! Grassroots Motorsports will be featuring your car in a special UTCC issue both in print and online, and HRE will be spreading the news of your win with a national press release and featuring your car on our blog at www.hrewheels.com/blog.

So, the HRE performance challenge is out there. The fastest cars in the US will be showing up to VIR on July 23rd to prove they’re the best handling, fastest track cars anywhere. If you’ve got what it takes to win, come prove it. The HRE team will be there trackside cheering you on!

Great concept and promotion!

The cash contingency prizes for winners seems like a decent amount which is just enough for new tires. I especially like the offering of special racer discount pricing just for signing-up and entering the event.

This HRE performance challenge sounds like fun!

Good luck to you guys and hope you have a good turn out.

Subject: Correction on Phone Number for HRE Wheel orders for UTCC

The phone number in the original post has an “800” phone number, but it’s actually “888”.

So for calling to order wheels for the UTCC event, please call:
888-598-1965

Heard that Sharif of Forged Performance will be using a set of HRE's on their Nissan GT-R.
That car is brutally fast (I've seen him break 2 mins. at VIR). Should be fun to watch!

Yes they are. I have heard so many good things about this car and we look forward to working with them in the future.
