5. Marketing Opportunities that we can bring to you….
Imagine seeing the name of your business by hundreds of thousands, even millions of spectators. Seeing
the name of your business in a national publication as a supporter of one of the greatest racing sports in
America. The opportunities are endless and we have a package that will enhance your business.
Race car graphics: We will custom design a scheme which will include your company colors or logo.
There are limitless options to get the best visual exposure.
Transporter signage: The race car transporter acts as a rolling billboard with average mileage totaling
well over 15,000 miles a year. With the National Highway Association calculation of our major highways,
we can get an average of 31 views per mile. That is a total about half a million viewers on the highways
alone.
Personal Appearances: Arrange events for meet and greet opportunities with your customers at auto
shows, local attractions, grand openings, and trade shows. Ever want to bring more people to your booth
at a trade show? Nothing better than having a high performance race car in your booth, representing your
company.
6. Mark Hogan – 59 years old – involved with drag racing for about 40 years
Owner of EMSI (Environmental Management Services of Iowa)
2008 - First season in NHRA Pro Stock, using a Jerry Haas Pontiac GTO purchased
from KB Racing
2011 - Purchased current Jerry Haas Pontiac GXP from Roger Brogdan
2014 - we went to the NHRA GATOR NATIONALS Gainesville, FL and ran a 5 race
schedule.
This year we went to The NHRA 4 WIDE NATIONALS. Since it’s too cold to test
anywhere in the Midwest that early in the season, it helps us to get a head start on our
season by getting some early testing.
We are planning on running a 5 race schedule this year also. Starting May 19-21 @
Topeka, Kansas
2013 – we ran a 5 race schedule and are still looking for our first wally

8. The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), founded in 1951 by Wally Parks has been an ever
expanding
racing community. Never forgetting the grassroots racers, the NHRA has built upon this base to
include faster, more exciting events that appeals to both men and women of all ages. There are
over 22 million Americans (age 12+) who are de-voted fans. (Top Box Interest ESPN Sports Poll)
The NHRA encourages family participation both as fans and as participants beginning with the
Junior Drag
Racing League with racers as young as the age of eight to the most prestigious Full Throttle Series.
When the
saying comes out, “there is something for everyone”, drag racing is the epitome of that statement.
Interaction is encouraged! Attending a race is a pure adrenaline rush with unprecedented speed and
sensory impact at any level.
NHRA drag racing is an open and accessible experience that’s shared with genuine people; the fans,
drivers and teams. It is one of the few sports where the fans are encouraged to interact with the
drivers by allowing access to the pit areas where they see the drivers and crew while they perform
maintenance and preparation for the races.
