2012 Sponsorship Opportunities

Dear Sponsors,

My name is Jack Rogers. I am fourteen years old. I race go-karts during the summer in New Hampshire. I’ve been racing for more than four years. Over those years, I’ve won eight races (including the 2008 Coca Cola 100), finished the season in second and third place for point standings, and have had countless top five finishes. Also during that time, my brother Connor, who is now nine, also won four races, and countless top five finishes. With every passing year, we always find new ways to make us go faster and faster; pushing the envelope further and further.
This year we plan to race at New Hampshire International Speedway, Twin State Speedway, and Route 106 Race Park. This year looks like an awesome year to invest your advertising dollars because we race at three tracks that can have as many as one hundred competitors, and three-times as many additional people who come to watch the races, crew for the drivers, moms, friends, and other family members. Kart racing is truly an extended-family activity. All of these people could see your business name on our cars. We are always competitive with the leaders. Your name and logo would be front and center each week. Also, your business name could be on the side of our trailer as we travel to the different tracks. Imagine, how many people would see your business name on our trailer
We need your help this year. There are some last minute things we need, like tires, new side panels, decals, touchups, and maybe even a bigger trailer. Any amount of money is helpful and appreciated. We need all the help we can get. Be sure to check out our new facebook page. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Connor Rogers #3

Rain, Rain, Win, Win! Route 106 6/18/11

Dear fans, and sponsors,

Do to lots of rain and cancellations we haven't raced very much.Like all the other races we've been to,it was supposed to rain. But, they didn't cancel it so we decided to head out and try to race.

We arrived about a little more than two hours before practice, so we would have time for me to have a little track time to get used to the car.The car hoped out of corner four, and two and was hard to control. So I pulled off and my father went right to work. So we went back out again, had the same problem and came off. Once again, my father went to work on the car. We repeated this process over and over. Until, it was time to practice. That's when we figured out that nobody was in my division so more track time to myself. BONUS!

Connor did his practice first and I was right after him. Apparently, he made contact but, that's all I can tell you because, I couldn't watch. I went out next and had the same problem. MORE ADJUSTMENTS... By the end of the practices we hadn't figured out quite what my problem was. But, then a flagman told my father that I needed to change my line a little. So next time out I changed my line just a little and the hop was almost gone. Heats were next and Connor finished last and was frustrated. After, I went out and actually raced! Apparently, they didn't want me to go out on the track by myself so, they combined my division with another that only had one driver. Still confused about the whole thing, I looked back and the guy had a beard!???!! Once we got out though we kept up to him and did farely well compared to before.

It wasn't long before it was time for the features. I could actually watch Connor for once. From the start Connor flew into third and was tracking done the first, and second drivers that had stretched out a lead. Connor was tracking them done and was reeling them in more and more every lap. Until, he caught them and took second place. After, that the leader and Connor pulled away and were laping the other cars when, the leader and a lapped car got together and spun. Connor avoided it and was put into first for the lead. At the start he pulled away but by the end the second place car was diving under Connor for the lead on the final lap right in front of the finish line. HE WON! HE WON! Connor won only by a couple feet. On his victory lap he tried a burn out.

I went out next and took off from the start but, the rocker car passed me. He took the lead by a few car lengths and we stayed about the same distance apart for most of the race until, the last lapp. When, he spun out and I passed him for the win! Double wins! Not bad for a day at the races.

5/23/11 Route 106 Raceway + Twin State Speedway

Hello sponsors,

Its that time of year again. Its spring and that means racing is here. There is still time to sponsor us. If you would like to sponsor us leave a comment and we will get in touch. This weekend we raced at Route 106 Raceway on saturday, and Twin State Speedway on sunday. At Route 106 we arrived around two o'clock. Anxious to start up the karts we, started up Connor's kart and it ran perfectly. But, when we went to start my kart, the electric starter's battery didn't work. So we went around looking for a starter to borrow but, no one had the same size starter bit. So, my Dad ran to a bunch of different stores to find a battery. Meanwhile, I had to get Connor ready for his first practice. After I got Connor all ready, I got him out on the track. But, all he had to do was drive around slowly to dry off the track.

By the time Connor got off the track my Dad was back with no luck. So we got Connor through his practices together. Then, my Dad went back to the store, this time he came back faster. With a battery that was of course uncharged. Finally, my friend Jonathan came by with his starter. He told us that we could use it, if we had the right size socket for it. Which we did have a socket for. It was already time for qualifies by the time we were ready and I got out onto the track and passed someone but, then came off the track because, I couldn't keep control of my car. So I decided to come off and try and fix the problem. Connor was in the pits already done with his heat race and he finished second!!

Features came fast and my Dad hoped he had fixed the problem as we were on the grid. So Connor went out first and I waited and waited. Towards the end of Connor's race I heard
"Connor Rogers getting very aggressive for that second spot. He comes down for the pass and gives him a shove. Connor Rogers now in the second position reeling in the leader!" the announcer says.
"Checkered flag in the air, and the #29 gets the win" the announcer say.
"Oh, sorry everybody the #3 did in fact get that win!" the announcer says. Apparently the kid in first stopped thinking he won on the white flag and Connor passed him!! CONNOR'S FIRST WIN! He was so excited! Then I had to go out and the car handled well at first but, then I decided to come off because the wheels on my car were loose. Finally, after a frustrating and thrilling day we went home.

The next day we showed up at Twin State and raced. For the first two practices I was struggling with the car and couldn't control it. But, Connor did great in his practices. For the heats the my kart seemed good at first but, then almost instantaneously went back to hopping all over the place and I pulled off. Once more frustrated and annoyed I couldn't keep up. But, Connor came off with a heat win, which again I was not able to see. CONNOR'S FIRST HEAT WIN! Connor was on fire. Last, but not least the features. For my feature I passed a few karts and was doing alright when the car did it again and I pulled off the track. Connor did great again and finished his feature race with an exciting almost three wide finish. He got third!! It was a frustrating day for all of us but, we were so happy for Connor who had one awesome weekend.

5/16/10 Another Win

Hello sponsors and fans,


This weekend we raced at Sugar Hill Speedway. This week was Connor's first race and his Birthday. So Happy Birthday Connor. I would like to thank the Wymans also because they let us borrow their trailer to carry both cars in. Today was also our first time out of the pits because of the new track that actually ran through the pits and the track. But that wasn't for my division or Connor's. We showed up early to get a good spot we aligned the cars and got ready for our first practice. Connor was out first out on to the track and I was second so I didn't get to see Connor's practice but he stayed out of wrecks and was careful. I was next and was fast but couldn't get around the #39 who is new to this season. We had time to get some water and cool off before we went off for our next practice.Connor was first again and did about the same keeping it under control and safe. I was next and this time I got by the #39 and me and the #99 duked it out. Just like old times. We had a long break while the other divisions used the long road course through the pits. My Grandfather and Grandmother showed up after that and we all hung out in the snack bar and just sat around and chilled for a while. I took a long time before we finally we even got ready but when we were up Connor went out and finished fourth in his heat race. He did good but I think he just needs some more track time to get used to going fast. I went out next and the #39 and I went at it for a while before the #99 and I got in front of the #39. We went at it and I held him off and won in the end.We had another break and then got ready. Connor ended up in a little spin out and finished fourth but he did well for his first race.I was out next and held everyone off for the win. Another win.

This weekend we raced our first race at Sugar Hill Speedway. My brother made his First Communion Sunday so he was unable to race. I'm going for the championship this year so I had to skip this one. My Dad could not make the race either so we called up our neighbor Dave Pluckett. We arrived ready to go and my Dad had us all set up. We did our first practice and did great pulling completely away and even lapping someone we were happy with how it performed so didn't change anything. Latter we went out for our second practice again we pulled away and lapped someone. After that my Dad had to leave so Dave and I were on our own. They had the longest drivers meeting next or maybe it was just so hot. I think it must reached eight-five degrees out!! It was by far my hottest race ever. We got all set up for the Heat race and we were starting on the pole. I rolled my car out on the track starting to warm my tires. We all got in line the #99 next to me just like old times. Along with the #20 another blast from the past! Then the rookie the #39. We all got ready and got the green flag and I jumped out front first. I made my way around twice but then the #39 gave me a bump and sent me spinning around. Luckily, no one hit me but my chain fell off. To be honest I was really mad but now I realize it happens when your racing for the win and the #39 was just racing for the win like me. They pulled me off the track and I thought I was done. But out of no where Roy Soskin and Shawn Duhaine come and throw my chain on like nothing! I get back on the track and pass the #99 for first and hang onto it the whole time winning the heat race. I was so happy I won and was so grateful to have two guys come and get me out there to win it!!! We met Linda (Dave's wife) at our pit stall and she had come to watch the race and cheer me on. Dave made a few adjustments to the car and we were all set for the feature race. In no time at all it was time we were first division so we got to go out on the track and due the National anthem. I climbed in and we were off. We lined up me in first #99 second the #39 third and the #20 fourth. I got the green and I was off and took the lead for the whole race winning by eight car lengths!!! I was so happy my first race and my first win of the season!! But if Dave and Linda weren't there to help me and support me I don't know what I would have done. I would also like to thank Shawn and Roy for helping that was huge!! We also have a good points start in first. Such an awesome race and our sixth win.

Practice 4/25/10

Hello sponsors and fans,

This week we had practice on Saturday and Sunday. Over all Rogers Brothers Racing had a great weekend. Starting off with Connor who had a drivers test Saturday morning. He was pretty slow driving the Hot Laps, at first and needed some help because he was nervous. But afterwards he flew past every one and even the instructors!!! He came off great won a metal and got a certificate saying he past. Later on though when he got into his Tiger Sprint he was pretty slow but he was really nervous. I suspect he just needs to get used to the car. Other than that Connor did awesome!! Today it was my turn and we pulled up with lots of confidence. We were the only ones there in our division but had a good day alone. We pulled out for our first practice and did pretty good but I thought the car was a little tight. So we changed some gears around and loosened the car up. We did this for 120 laps or almost five races!! We kept consistant with our times last year, about 12 seconds. All and all we did pretty good and can't wait till next weekend our first race.

By,

Jack Rogers
