HOPE AND HAMMOCK PARTNER WITH
MOHEGAN SUN RACING FOR THE 2010
NHRA FULL THROTTLE SEASON
NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle rider David Hope announced Thursday the signing of a
major sponsorship agreement with Brian Bozsum and Mohegan Sun Racing for the
full 2010 NHRA Full Throttle season.
“The talks of a partnership with Hope and Hammock started a few weeks ago after
coming to the realization that we would not be able to run with Matt Guidera until Indy
of this year due to the unforeseen circumstances that occurred last year”, said
Bozsum. “It’s truly an unfortunate situation to be involved with, considering how
successful the team was and the friendships that we all forged during the past
couple of years”.
Bozsum continued, “Mohegan Sun Racing wants to have a continued presence in the
NHRA and David Hope and John Hammock will be able to provide that”. My wife and I
look forward to the 2010 season with much enthusiasm and we’re very proud to be
associated with David and John. We’ve known John Hammock, Vroom team owner,
since we hit the NHRA in 2005 and have always considered him a very good friend”.
We’re looking forward to starting the same relationship with David and his family.
David seems to have such a great presence at the track and has done some great
things to bring awareness to the struggles with Breast Cancer. Good things happen
to good people and this is a great example of it.
“We’re looking forward to a long term and mutually-beneficial relationship that will
not only pay significant dividends on the race track but also make the Mohegan
Sun/Vroom Racing team one of the top teams in 2010”.
The entire team looks forward to flying the colors of one of the premier destination
resorts in the world during 2010, The Mohegan Sun. Hope will debut the Mohegan
Sun/Vroom Racing Buell on March 11-14 at the 41st annual NHRA Gatornationals
season opener for the bikes in Gainesville, Fla.
Mohegan Sun/Vroom Racing enjoys associate sponsorship from Royal Purple Oil and
NGK Sparkplugs.
Mohegan Sun, owned by the Mohegan Tribe, is one of the largest, most distinctive
and spectacular entertainment, gaming, shopping and meeting destinations in the
United States. Situated on 240 acres along the Thames River in scenic southeastern
Connecticut, Mohegan Sun is within easy access of New York, Boston, Hartford and
Providence and located 15 minutes from the museums, antique shops and
waterfront of Mystic County. What began with the Casino of the Earth in 1996 has
evolved into a legendary destination that now includes: the Casino of the Sky and over
300,000 square feet of total gaming space; The Shops at Mohegan Sun, featuring
more than 60 retail shops and dining venues ranging from food court-style to
gourmet; the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena for world-class sporting events and
concerts, and an intimate Cabaret; and a 34-story luxury hotel, featuring 1,200 guest
rooms and suites, premier meeting and convention space and a world-class spa.

Hope and Hammock finish 2009
in a positive way
Pomona, Wrap-up: The 45th annual Automobile Club of Southern California Finals at
Auto Club Raceway at Pomona is over marking the end of the 2009 NHRA Full Throttle
Drag Racing season. For the Vroom Racing Pro Stock Motorcycle team the season
ended on an upward swing.
For the last four races the S&S powered Buell was consistent. Team owner, John
Hammock had the bike running strong and rider, David Hope was as his best. In
qualifying, the bike ran a 7.054 at 188.41 mph, a 7.050 at 187.08 mph, an impressive
6.992 at 186.95 mph and wrapped it up with a 7.026 at 189.15 mph. This gave Hope
the No. 11 qualifying position.
In the first-round of action, Hope took on Craig Treble. Hope left on Treble and easily
got the win with his best run of the weekend, a 6.986 at 187.70 mph. In the second
round, Hope’s opponent was Rookie of the Year candidate, Douglas Horne. The two
left the line at the same time but Hope didn’t have enough to hold off Horne. He
slowed to a 7.028 against Horne’s 6.993.
The weekend was a fitting finale to a tumultuous year for the relatively young team.
They may have struggled early on but their hard work and determination paid off with
obvious improvement.
“This weekend leaves me feeling positive about our year,” said Hope. “We left off on
a good note and proved our consistency. I develop myself more and more every time
I go down the track. John is putting a good bike under me so that allows me to go out
and do my job. That creates a team environment to where we’re running strong and
that’s what we need to go rounds. And the past four races we’ve proven that. We’ve
proven we can run with the best and we’ve put up some numbers that have left us
satisfied. Sure, you always want that next round but we’ve come a long way from
where we were at the beginning of the season. And we have to feel good about that.
“I’m most definitely sorry to see the year end, especially when you start to get in a
groove and things that you’ve been working so hard for start to come together. And
then, oh, we have to put on the brakes. That doesn’t mean that we’re going to sit idle
over the winter. You can’t sit idle over the winter and be competitive coming into next
season. I know John has a lot of work already lined out for us and he’s going to take
the grunt of that because I work full time. But at the same time, I’m anxious to get
back on the bike already. But I can sit back and reflect on our year and feel good
about where we’ve been and about where we’re going and that’s important to me.”
