TROPHYLITE® Teams up with Currie Enterprises Exclusive Three-Year Series Partnership Adds to Points Fund

Staying true to the promise of expanding and growing the TROPHYLITE® Series to the next level, Greg Foutz has entered into an exclusive three-year partnership with Currie Enterprises. In the agreement, Currie will return as a premier sponsor and will support the already sizeable purse fund with a generous $2,000.00 contribution for the 2009 race season.

Since 1959, Currie Enterprises has been one of the most recognized and well-respected manufacturers of specialty performance drive-train components. Their support of the TROPHYLITE® Series not only strengthens the already impressive $61,000 purse payout for this year's points chase, it also reaffirms Currie's commitment to provide the highest-quality and cost effective products for this affordable spec-class.

Under the terms of the new agreement, TROPHYLITE® owners will have the option of changing certain components with the recently released (and approved spec-class) fabricated Currie Enterprises housings. Owners not wishing to change can retain the original spec-class approved rear-end components.

"The long term, multi-year partnership with Currie Enterprises further solidifies the General Tire TROPHYLITE® Series as a cost-effective and fun class with an impressive points fund purse," commented owner, Greg Foutz. "Currie has committed to supporting the series on many levels and I am excited to announce this partnership. We are both very committed to expanding the class and the sport with superior products and support - while keeping in mind the ultimate goal which is the affordability of the class. Our agreement ensures the series will continue to grow while maintaining the competiveness that similarly-equipped race vehicles provide," added Foutz.

The next race for the 2009 General Tire TROPHYLITE® Series schedule is the Glen Helen Baja Cup Challenge on June 27 - 28, 2009. For up-to-the-minute details and information, check out the web-site at www.trophylite.com
