The Real Turbo Tom

Just who is the person be-hind the Turbo Tom character you see each PLM race here? Turbo

represents the 120+ Tom Thumb conve-nience stores along the Gulf Coast. Turbo Tom is Todd Francis in real life, who is the district

manager for the chain in this area. Todd loves to visit with race fans, and driv-ers. Many times he comes to the track with gifts for fans. One of his choice duties is the awarding of the winners trophies in the Tom Thumb Pro Late Model Series races.

The last time you saw the Super Model Cars here was at the Snowball Derby. The first in a series of 5 Blizzard races will be April 9th. Track Champion Johan-na Long will be the one to beat. Brandon Carlson takes the wheel of #21, Josh Hamner is driving a Kyle Busch SLM. Eddie Mercer the master of speed at 5 Flags will be back too. (Photos below) The Blizzard race weekend will be capped off with the Miller Lite 100 at Mobile International Speed-way. The 5 pairs of races makes up the Gulf Coast Championship series. The last Blizzard race of 2010 will be September 24th.
