TOPEKA, Kan. (April 9, 2019) -- Partner support continues to grow for the Tire Rack SCCA Time Trials National Tour presented by Hagerty and Tire Rack Time Trials Nationals presented by Hagerty as Yokohama Tire becomes the latest company to step up and provide backing for those taking part in events planned this year.
With the new “#OnYokohamas” incentive program, participants can earn a $75 discount on entry fees to this year’s nine Time Trials events by participating on Yokohama Tires, regardless of finishing position.
“The reimagined SCCA National Time Trials program recognizes that competitors strive for their best in different ways, and the incentive program recognizes those efforts independent of finishing position or specific results,” said Heyward Wagner, SCCA’s Senior Director of Marketing and Experiential Programs.
To take advantage of the incentive program, drivers need to pre-register for the Yokohama program online through the https://timetrials.scca.com/products portal. They then become eligible for the entry discount as long as they utilize any of Yokohama’s tires, available online through Tire Rack, on their competition car (all four tires) and have Yokohama stickers on both sides of their vehicle. Tech Officials at each event will then make sure those registered for the program have indeed met program requirements.
“Yokohama Tire has a long, long history with SCCA and a true high-performance heritage. We’re proud to have them aboard,” Wagner said. “It’s encouraging to receive growing partner support for the Time Trials National Tour and Time Trials Nationals as both programs are really in their infancy. We’ve worked hard to develop an ecosystem that connects partners with participants, providing benefits to both. It’s a system we hope other companies will find enticing now and into the future as the popularity of SCCA’s Time Trials program continues to grow.”
Drew Dayton, Yokohama motorsports manager, noted that the tire manufacturer has a deep commitment to motorsports. Yokohama currently lends support to the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama, the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama, Super Lap Battle, Global Time Attack, Tire Rack One Lap of America, the Porsche Pikes Peak Trophy, 24 Hours of Lemons, the Spec MX-5 Challenge and Yokohama Sonora Rally.
“The SCCA Time Trials present a great opportunity for Yokohama and our ‘#OnYokohamas’ incentive program to work with participants and reward them for using our tires to compete on,” Dayton said. “We look forward to an exciting season supporting SCCA Time Trials.”
Other Time Trials National Tour and Time Trials Nationals partners include title sponsor Tire Rack. Hagerty is also aboard as a presenting sponsor, and KONI supports KONI Podium celebrations. Additionally, Racers360 is available to help competitors through video-based coaching, and ApexPro is offering a cost-effective data acquisition option for participants.
The Tire Rack SCCA Time Trials National Tour presented by Hagerty kicks off at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, California on April 13-14 and visits Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Oregon, Colorado, Kansas, Michigan and Connecticut. The Tire Rack Time Trials Nationals presented by Hagerty finale then takes place September 27-29 at NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
