It is once again, with great pleasure and pride, that I can announce that the LaFontaine Family has choosen the Raging Eagle Racing Team to continue to represent their company in a marketing venture for the 2011 racing season.I am so pleased that they feel our racing program has been benificial in promoting their business.I cannot express how honored and fortunate we are to represent such a prestigious company. The LaFontaine Automotive Group, also known as the Family Deal, features 13 franchises including Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Scion, Suzuki and Kia; not to mention an available Pre-Owned inventory of 500 plus domestic and imported vehicles, located throughout their dealerships in Highland, Dearborn, Dexter and Saline, Michigan.
The LaFontaine Family's new dealership, known as the Green Store, opened on June 2, 2008. The 63,000 square foot facility and sets on 24 acres on Highland Road (M-59) just west of Hickory, and is home to Buick, Pontiac, GMC and Cadillac. The $15 million dollar facility is the first GM dealership in the country to qualify for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification under the Green Building Rating System, which is a nationally accepted benchmark for design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. And it's also beautiful. I urge you to stop by and see one of the nicest dealerships in the country.
The Raging Eagle Racing Team's primary focus for the 2011 racing season will, again, be promoting LaFontain's GM Performance Parts line, as well as their huge parts department which is located in Livonia, Michigan inside an 86,000 square foot facility, containing a parts inventory of 3.5 million dollars. I encourage all of the collision and mechanical repair facilities to call LaFontaine's parts department @800-883-4627 for all of your parts needs. Their service is the best with all knowledgeable (and seasoned) people taking your orders and delivering your parts. How nice would it be to only have to deal with one place for all the car lines you repair. And for those of you whom automatically pick up the Summit or Jegs catalog, call Karrie Bradley direct @248-240-1670 for all your GM Performance Parts needs. LaFontaine is offering all GM Performance Parts for 10% over dealer cost, engines 3% over dealer cost and they will save you $$$$ when you call them instead of Jegs or Summit.

We are already well into the 2011 racing season and I'm finally updating the web site. We came out this season with a new combination which has added about 500 horsepower boosting the total to somewhere around 2800 to 3000. The Raging Eagle Racing Team is currently leading the points race at Milan's Outlaw Pro Mod Heads-up series on a mission to regain the championship. We finished second in the points race after leading until the very last race of 2010, when our car uncharacteristically spun the tires at the starting line resulting in an unusual first round loss. Not much more to say; However, overall a very good year.
The entire team is back including Glenn who joined the team in 2010 to support an ailing Ronnie and help out a very busy "Bro" Paul. Paul Baird will be handling crew chief duties as well as data analysis, fuel system tuning and suspension diagnosis. Ron Siedlak, owner of Ron's Graphics Inc., will be wrenching, brother Paul will be prepping the race car, and Paul's wife, Dyan, will again be in charge of sales and posting data. Most importantly, Marsha will be back again packing parachutes, prepping and maintaining radios and driver's equipment, readying Bill for racing, belting him into the race car, managing staging lane operations and directing the driver back after the burnout. The tentative schedule for the 2011 season includes competing at Milan Dragway, in Milan Michigan, in it's Heads-up Outlaw Pro Mod series and displaying the race car in several venues promoting our marketing partners.
The Raging Eagle Racing team would like to thank our major sponsor The LaFontaine Family for once again allowing us to represent them in promoting their line of Genuine GM Performance Parts, Ron Siedlak, (Ron's Graphics Inc.) for his loyal help and support, as well as our associate sponsors: Leaf Race wear, Exotic Coatings, Davis Technologies, Motor City Rod Shop and Outlaw Photo.
