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. |

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.
