Toyo Tire Canada Increase Sponsorship With CASC-OR

[sjd]

Toyo Tires returns as a CASC-OR title sponsor for 2010. The new agreement marks the third year of the Toyo Tires Championship, a competition within CASC’s provincial championships in road racing, solosprint and autoslalom. In order to be eligible, all competitors are required to run the Toyo Proxes R888 and must purchase the tires through the Team Toyo Racing program. Autoslalom and solosprint competitors can also choose to run the new Toyo R1R ultra high-performance tire in a street tire class within their respective championships. The Toyo Proxes R1R is an extreme performance street tire for sports coupes and sedans. Featuring a 140 AA A UTQG rating, the Proxes R1R is available in 15 to 18 inch sizes. As before substantial discounts will be offered to CASC members though the Team Toyo Racing program.

“Over the years we have formed a valuable relationship with the CASC-OR. We're excited about the enhancements to our agreement this year, and we hope that our partnership will help encourage the continued growth and success of grassroots motorsports in Ontario” said James de Chavez, Marketing Coordinator for Toyo Tire Canada Inc.

“Toyo has continued to demonstrate their commitment to grassroots motorsports by not only returning as a CASC-OR sponsor but by increasing their support as well. Last year many of our members chose to run on the R888 and I am sure many will choose to this year too. Also for 2010 it’s great to see the availability of the R1R in Canada, which has proven its mettle in the SCCA’s street tire classes by racking up multiple wins, as an option for CASC members who want a tire they can use to drive to the track, win and then drive home on” added CASC-OR Vice President, Steven Day.
