Philly vs the World....

A man of many names....

This weekend, Philip "Killer/Philmo/Philly" Martindale will test the world's best in the ITU World Duathlon Championship in Concord, NC. Phil made the best of a short 2009 season to rack up several impressive wins and podiums at some of the most illustrious races in the country including a 1st overall amateur placing at this year's Powerman Alabama (seen below). He was also invited to race on the USA National Duathlon Team after an impressive performance at the Duathlon National Championships earlier this year. So, if you see Phil out before this weekend, make sure you wish him "good luck" as he runs-bikes-and-runs in support of the Stars and Stripes!

Additionally, Phil is planning on racing the Atomic Duathlon in Oak Ridge, TN this October 18th as the returning Champion. Phil took the overall at last year's event in convincing fashion - besting his next closest competitor by more than 2 and a half minutes, putting in an absolutely blistering bike leg. Trust me, this dude is the real deal. They don't call him "killer" because he's funny.

Go Phil!

It's Official.....

It's official! Team Sonic has joined forces with an amazing new sponsor: TREEHOUSE RACING. These guys are a local business out of Nashville, TN who specialize in making high performance racing modifications to older model BMWs. They do some amazing work to turn these already incredible cars into full-on racing machines. Since they like to race and, well, so do we, it only made sense to join forces. We're looking forward to having a great season for 2010 with TREEHOUSE RACING in strong support and hope to forge a relationship that will continue for years to come. Visit their website for additional information on the company and their specialties by clicking the the title of this blog. Also, check out this picture of the red beast that stormed from the gates of these mates' garage - racing on Road Atlanta, no less. Now, if I can only convince them to let me get behind the wheel...

Cheers,

Team Sonic - Treehouse Racing

Sponsorship News!

Potentially big news on the sponsorship front! We're all really excited about this one as it offers amazing possibilities for growth and an exceptional show of support. Plus...what kind of racers would we be if we didn't totally geek out over what these guys are all about? Vague...yes. We promise, there will be more to follow on this. Stay tuned!
