The Northern California office announced today that there will be significant television coverage for the 2009 25 Hours of Thunderhill.   Airtime will be purchased on the Versus Channel (formerly Outdoor Life), to air sometime in early 2010.  The show will be at least a one-hour production and focus on the action in the race, as well as feature select race teams.

"The plan is to spread coverage around so that each team will get something," said Event Director, Jerry Kunzman.  "However, we will have interviews and stories with several feature teams.  This will give the production some life to it, and make it more like reality TV."

The Hawk contingency award program will apply to ALL CLASSES and will award the top five finishers with certificates redeemable toward the purchase of Hawk Performance Brake pads.

Competitors must meet the following requirements to be eligible for this contingency. 

• Display 4 Hawk decals - front, back and each side of the vehicle during the week's event. (Decals will be available at event).
• No other brake pad company's decals may be displayed on the vehicle.
• Winning team owner must complete the contingency claim form found HERE and submit it by fax to the number specified within the form. Winning drivers must submit this form by no later than December 30th, 2009 to receive their award.
