SMART Prizes
Sponsorship and Driver Prizes:
The following sponsor merchandise will be distributed to SMART competitors throughout the 2004 season. How and when the prizes are distributed is TBD, but it is intended to be distributed in equal proportion to both podium and non-podium finishers alike. We also intend to make the sponsor goodies available throughout the series schedule, saving only a little of it for the bitter end. Especially the TIRES ... we want to give those babies out so you can start using them!
The SMART Series ... the series for people that open their holiday presents early :)

SMART Sponsors
In the fall of 2003, Toyo Tires became the banner sponsor for the SMART series. This benefits all in the series by eliminated registration fees, as well as, providing a chance to win some famous Toyo Tires! The Toyo RA-1 tire has become a favorite of the hobbyist racers by providing consistent performance over a very long life. It has become the spec tire of choice in the SpecMiata class for many of the drivers. The RA-1 is also a very forgiving tire. It does not flat-spot very easy, does not require a break-in heat cycle, and is predictable as it approached breakaway. The SMART series is more than happy with the declaration of Toyo Tires as the banner sponsor. Check out their website at www.toyo.com.
