Jacobs (330) 644-7774 Date: June 3, 1999 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Compomotive
is Newest ProRally Contingency Sponsor; RallySport
Increases Involvement
ENGLEWOOD, Colorado — Compomotive Wheels, whose light-alloy
wheels are strong contenders in numerous forms of motorsports, has become the
newest contingency sponsor to join the Michelin SCCA ProRally Championship.
Through their distributor, Motorsport Specialties, their awards will be
available to all licensed SCCA ProRally teams, as well as to teams competing in
ClubRally events held in conjunction with a ProRally.
The program is open to competitors in all five "pro"
classes — Open, Group 5, Group 2, Production GT and Production. It pays cash
awards to competitors in the ProRally series, and cash or credit to teams in
ClubRally events. ProRally competitors who have Compomotive Wheels installed at
all four corners, and who have Compomotive decals displayed on their cars, are
eligible for $75 for first place in their class, $35 for second and $25 for
third. ClubRallyists can receive $35 for a class win or $20 for second. The
award is in cash if they have Compomotives at all four corners and carry
Compomotive decals on the car. Those who only display the decals will receive
credits in the same amounts. ClubRally awards are for those events held in
support of a ProRally.
The program gets underway this weekend at the Susquehannock Trail
ProRally, round four of the 1999 championship, which will be held scenic
Wellsboro, Pa. At the same time, longtime ProRally supporter
Rallysport,
Inc., has increased its involvement with the sport. The company has been named Official Fanwear and
Memorabilia Distributor of the Michelin SCCA ProRally Championship, as well as
