Win one of three TGB Pit Bikes

Join Factory Five at an event this year and you can ride home in style
 

As if you needed an incentive to head to one of FFR's major FFROG events this year, we just sweetened the pot with an opportunity to head home from the show with an awesome new TGB scooter.

There’s no purchase necessary to enter this great contest, all you have to do is to bring your Factory Five to one of three events currently on the 2008 calendar. 

 

It doesn’t matter how you get your Factory Five to the show.  Drive it, tow it, throw it, push, pull or stow it - as long as you get it there, you are eligible to win! 

 

Any form of Factory Five build is acceptable, and each car will get a raffle ticket and the opportunity to win the pit bike.

 

TGB scooters will be raffled off to an owners of any Factory Five in attendance at both the:

 

- California Cruise-In

  (Huntington Beach, CA - April 26th)

- Factory Five Open House

   (Wareham, MA - June 14th)
 

The third Pit Bike will be awarded to one of the competitors at the FFR Challenge Series Nationals Race at the NASA Nationals (Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course – September 14th). 

 

Like all of the events scheduled for the NASA Nationals’ week long racing fest, the racer will have to have good lap times to win.  The difference in this competition, however, is that the winner doesn’t have to come in first to win the bike.  The Pit Bike will be awarded to the racer who best forecasts his/her fastest lap times in the Championship Race on Sunday, September 14th.


John Kerekes drove in from Tucson, AZ to win the 2007 FFR Open House pit bike raffle

 


Bryan Dobyns, Kevin Eves and Gary McDaniel all won TGB pit bikes at the 2007 FFR Challenge Series Nationals

The best news is that this third contest is open only to Challenge Series competitors who qualify to compete in the Challenge Series Nationals race at Mid-Ohio. 

 

It doesn’t matter if you are a complete novice racer, or have been racing all your life, peg your times and you can drive a free scooter home from the track.*

 

We look forward to seeing you at one of these three big events.

*Sorry Dave, even though you are bringing six company cars out, you and all other Factory Five employees are not eligible to win the Pit Bike.  Additionally, anyone who has won a Factory Five raffled TGB Scooter within the last 12 months is also not eligible to win this time.

Cobra Powersports Announces Contest Winners
TGB Powersports Dealers to Spend the Weekend at The London Cobra Show

Kennesaw, GA, March 7, 2007 – Cobra Powersports, the US Distributor of TGB powersports products, announced the winners of the 2007 Drive to Success.  TGB Dealers, Bill Gornto and Mike Bowler had their names drawn on the last day of the 2007 Dealernews International Powersports Dealer Expo in Indianapolis.

The two lucky TGB Dealers will be flown to Columbus, Ohio to join the staff from Cobra Powersports to attend the 2007 London Cobra Show on June 21-24, 2007.   The London Cobra Show is the largest Cobra replica show of the year and features over 200 Cobra, GT40 and Daytona Coupe replicas. London, Ohio has been welcoming the thunder of Cobras for the last six years.  Attendees experience the thrill of doing burnouts on Main Street as they give rides to some of the many spectators to raise money for charity.

Bill Gornto, owner of Twist-n-Scoot in Atlanta said, “I received a call from my Cobra Powersports sales rep Mitch this week, informing me that I had won the Grand Prize Supercar Weekend in London Ohio. Wow... how cool is that? After attending the Dealer Expo at Indianapolis last week, I returned home to get the news that I'll be joining Cobra again for a fun filled weekend in June.” 

Mr. Gornto added, “Cobra Powersports and TGB scooters are a winning combination for me, three years running now. TGB scooters are my best selling brand... reliable, easy to prep and easy to sell. Thank you!”

Mike Bowler, owner of Big Easy Scooters in New Orleans said, “Well I had been joking with my dad that it would be a great trip to take, not thinking that we had a real chance at winning the trip. It is nice to have a relationship with a company such as Cobra that puts an effort into promotions for their dealers and is adding to an already outstanding dealer support operation.”

Each winner gets the use of a 2007 Ford Shelby GT-H Mustang from Hertz for the weekend.  Ford Motor Company, Shelby Automobiles and The Hertz Corporation are partnering to produce a special run of performance-modified Ford Mustang GTs that produce 325 HP from a 4.6L V8 that can only be rented from select Hertz locations.
