Matt Bogardus joins us this year in his 2000 Honda Civic Si. Boasting more than a handful of 10 second quarter mile passes at over 132 mph, this is one quick Honda. Matt, with a full schedule of racing ahead of him, is competing in the Quaker State Friday Night E/T Trophy/Jackpot class at Bandimere Speedway in 2009 as well as competing in the Ultimate Street Performance heads up events. Matt is a long time racer taking on the challenges of front wheel drive. As one of the few import competitors at the Pinks All Out event in 2008, he also took on the challenges of racing an import car. He did the import fans proud and we are happy to have him on board this year in the Sticky Vinyl Graphics paddock.

Chris Swearingen and John Ames kick off the SCCA Pro-Solo and Solo 2 season in the System Strategies/Sticky Vinyl Graphics racing Miata. Twelve time national champion John Ames is taking over co-driving duties for this year and it's shaping up to be an exciting one. This year sporting 25% more power than last year, a new coat of paint, and the recent addition to the Sticky Vinyl Graphics racing group, Chris and John set out upon a task of skill and speed. With more than a dozen events scheduled, including the Denver Auto Show, Chris is really representing SVG very well. Good luck gentlemen!

Jake Latham joins the Sticky Vinyl Graphics racing group this year in his DSR Stohr. Jake is an accomplish racer in a number of various platforms and a long time friend. He is an ambassador to the motorsports community and a skilled racer. Jake has been around the motorsports scene since 2000, when he was introduced to SCCA autocross by a friend with a Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. He was kicked out of the car after only one event, after beating the more experienced driver in his first autocross ever. Shortly thereafter, he bought a 1998 Audi A4, and began autocrossing with that. In order to be free to modify without the worry of street comfort, it wasn't long before Jake bought a 1990 Eclipse GSX to run in SCCA Street Modified, and took 3rd in his first season of racing. Jake won the 2002 Colorado DSM track challenge with a 1:16.50 at Second Creek Raceway. Moving up quickly, Jake sold the Eclipse and bought a 1997 C5 Corvette for ASP and SM2 competition, with which he won the 2004 Rocky Mountain Division SM2 championship. Jake ran in the trophies, in 8th at the 2004 solo nationals before rain put him out of contention. These days, Jake is club racing in SCCA's Sports Racer classes. Jake won the 2005 Time Trials Rocky Mountain B-mod championship, the 2007 Rocky Mountain Division D-Sports Racer championship, the 2007 Ron Hunter Rookie of the Year award, and the 2008 Rocky Mountain C-Sports Racer championship. Jake holds two class track records, and the outright lap record at Motorsports Park Hastings. Jake is a licensed instructor in the SCCA, and regularly instructs at SCCA and BMW club solo schools, SCCA PDX, and SCCA Time Trials events. We are very pleased to have him on board this year as part of the Sticky Vinyl Graphics sponsorship program.

Jake Lemkuhl comes on board this year in his wide body Eagle Talon built for the Redline Time Attack. Boasting over 700 horsepower and AWD to boot, this machine is pure motorsports enjoyment to watch. With the Redline season just getting underway, Jake has a busy and full schedule of events to attend. Adding a bit of televised coverage is always a great way to spread the word about the SVG group and Jakes other sponsors. Welcome aboard!

Troy Smith joins the Sticky Vinyl Graphics Racing Group piloting a First Kart VR32C for Gorden Motorsports. Racing for GMS, Troy made his national karting debut in 2008 at the TaG World Finals which were held in Grand Junction, Colorado. At the TaG Worlds, Troy with his quick reflexes and smoother than silk driving style, brought home a 3rd Place Podium Finish in the Masters Class. In 2009, Troy will compete in the Rotax Max Challenge in the Masters Class and will be representing Gorden Motorsports at the 2009 Rotax Grand Nationals this September in Norman, Oklahoma. Troy is pleased to be a part of the Sticky Vinly Graphics Racing Group for the 2009 Season and we are so very happy to have him on board!

Jon Kuo on a 2007 Honda CBR600RR is looking really fast this year. In 2008 he received his racing license and started racing in the Motorcycle Racing Association (MRA). After starting in the middle of the season last year he placed 4th in Novice GTU and 7th in Novice GTO. After a solid first season to build on and picking up sponsors like SVG he plans on competing for podium positions this year. He's already turning laps at the newly built Highplains Raceway and fine tuning his skills for the upcoming races. We are certainly happy to have him on board the Sticky Vinyl Graphics Team!
