Trenton Forging Quality Formed Solutions Sponsorship
of SPEED World Challenge Weekend at Mid-Ohio a Success

Trenton, MI – May 23, 2006 – Michigan-based Trenton
Forging “Quality Formed Solutions” hosted the SCCA
SPEED World Challenge GT and TC Weekend May 19-21 at
the Mid-Ohio Sports Course in Lexington, Ohio for the
second consecutive year.

Under sunny skies, Trenton Forging customers, family
members and friends mingled with Autosport Development
team owners Renee and David Moxlow and driver Stu
Hayner while enjoying an exciting day of auto racing. 

“This event gives us the opportunity to get a number
of customers and their families out for a leisurely
day of racing and social interaction,” said James
Olson, Trenton Forging sales manager. 

Guests feasted on beef tenderloin, chilled shrimp, and
a variety of hors d’oeuvres as they hung out with the
Autosport Development professional race team in the
paddock area and in the private suite on the fifth
floor of the Goodyear Tower.  Overlooking the course
start and finish lines, the Goodyear Tower provided
exceptional views of all the races. 

Stu Hayner, driver of the Autosport Development No. 20
Trenton Forging/PR Machine Works Pontiac GTO posed for
photos, discussed racing and signed autographs. Guests
chatted with the crew and watched as they put the
finishing touches on the car. Special VIP passes gave
guests access to the entire paddock area where they
had the opportunity to meet other team drivers and get
up close to all the cars racing that weekend as well.

“Sponsoring this event is great for us,” said Renee
Moxlow, Trenton Forging/Autosport Development
co-owner. “It allows us to bring all our customers
together and provide an activity for them and their
families they don’t normally get to do. Everybody has
a great time.”

“Our customers also get a chance to network with each
other, and we get a chance to network with the people
they’ve invited to the race that we might not know. It
just increases everyone’s business.”
 
 “We certainly consider the event a great success,”
added Olson. “We had a good crowd that certainly
appeared to enjoy the weekend. Everyone was out on the
balcony of the Goodyear Tower cheering on Stu as he
advanced from the 20th start position, ending in 9th
place, for a solid top ten finish.”
