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!
