Support Those Who Support Racing By Janet Stewart - RAAL Motorsports January 11, 2010
Its
a never ending quest. Sponsors, advertisers, marketing partners. The
people and businesses behind the scenes that contribute financially.
RAAL Motorsports is quite proud of the
associates they've amassed over the years. Not only are these people
race fans, but they they instill a sense of value
to the RAAL Motorsports team.
"Our team is very fortunate. We have had some sponsors for almost 20 years", commented Todd Stewart.
He's right. Penny Blake of Remax Realty
Concepts Corporation in Kingston, Ontario is a great example.
"Penny Blake was there in the very beginning. She was the very
first sponsor over 20 years ago on our first race car." quipped
Stewart. "I remember that first year. We decided to go street stock
racing at the Can-Am Speedway. Donnie Carlyle agreed to help us build
the car over the winter months. Little did I know 20 years later we'd be
where we are today. Still working on race cars, but now on a brand new
2010 TEO modified." Stewart beamed, "...and Penny is still
with us".
Penny's prompt, professional service is what sets her apart. Her knowledge of Kingston and in particular the nearby Canadian Forces Base gives Penny that extra advantage to help those people make a smooth transition. Penny Blake has been selling real estate for over 20 years and has helped thousands of military families relocate from all over North America and abroad. She's a Remax Hall of Fame winner, a Military Families Specialist and is registered with the Government Relocation Services. RAAL Motorsports is proud to have her aboard.
Another longtime partner is R.W. Electric.
"They were there from the beginning as well. Walter and Shirley
Hodgson are the salt of the earth." praised Stewart. The original
owners of R.W. Electric for almost 40 years, the business now carries on
the tradition with son Bob Hodgson at the helm. The familiar "R.W.
Electric" that has adourned the quarter panel or doors for years
remains there for another season. The family business has seen
changes over the years including the development of "Polar
Power", a sister company designed for more commercial use. Over the
years R.W. has developed a strong reputation for quality
workmanship, prompt service and good value. No wonder they travel to job
sites all over Eastern Ontario. "I'm very proud to carry their
name. They even helped out at the Brockville Speedway a few years back
when new lighting was needed." praised Stewart. "They are one
of the many supporters that have become close fiends over the
years."
RAAL Motorsports would like to thank all the
people that help make the cars get to the race track. Look for stories
regarding these people soon.
