A New Team Name, Sponsors, and Engine Program for Andy Schlatz
A new team name, new sponsors, and a new engine program. Andy Schlatz (Owner Lite #20 and Driver NEMA #77) is really looking forward to the 2009 season.
Under the Hollywood Motorsports banner, Chris Haskell will be piloting Andy’s #20 in the NEMA Lites. Chris was the 2007 750cc Champion at Whip City Raceway in Westfield, MA. D.J. Cavaliere from Cavaliere Onsite Recycling and Equipment Sales in Stamford, CT has signed on as a major sponsor. Long time friend and sponsor Kurt Rafferty from Rafferty Fine Grading in Enfield, CT will continue with his prized support for the team.
PBHIndy.com has been working hard on getting this engine program off the ground and Andy is honored to be representing Honda in their first year in NEMA.
A new engine program is the major change. A PBH Indy Honda 2.4 NEMA Lite / Sportsman motor is going to be the power plant under the hood of the COR Equipment Sales, REMU Screening Buckets, Rubble Master,and Rafferty Fine Grading #20 Lite Midget.
Skeet Busher from PBH Indy has been a tremendous help to Andy. An ever growing number of America’s top performance equipment manufacturers see the Twin Cam Honda Midget engine as perhaps part of the answer to the future of Midget Racing both in terms of cost and performance. To use the example set by the Ford Focus Midget Engine, the PBH Indy Twin Cam Midget Engine should be able to run 40 races on a couple of sets of valve springs costing about $700.00.

In the NEMA Midgets, Andy is also excited to be back behind the wheel of the Luggelle Motorsports #77 also with support from COR Equipment Sales and Rafferty Fine Grading.
Andy looks forward to 2009 in the #77: “Mike was great to work with last year. We really had some fun last year. In the last couple months of the season we hit on some things and the car started to get better and better each week. I really think we will have a good season. I feel we can be a top ten car and I am really ready to get the season started on May 23rd at Monadnock. We may be an underdog team, but I think we will turn some heads this year.”
