Hotsy Renews Deal With Hall Brothers Racing

September 27, 2010 by

(Champaign, IL) Hall Brothers Racing is proud to announce that Hotsy Pressure Washers has returned as primary sponsor of one of the RAMINATOR trucks and associate sponsor on the team’s entire fleet.

“I am very pleased that Hotsy has determined that the exposure we provide with RAMINATOR is a good value. In these tough economic times, we know companies have to make tough decisions. We are happy that Hotsy has chosen to renew with us and we look forward to a great partnership into the future” said team co-owner Tim Hall. “We have met a lot of great people through our association with Hotsy…dealers, customers, Hotsy users from all types of industries…and it has been great so far. We have a lot of Hotsy appearances planned already for 2011, so I am excited about the opportunities”.

Championship winning driver Mark Hall added “we get a lot of compliments on the cleanliness of our trucks and haulers…and it wouldn’t be possible without our Hotsy equipment. No matter how dirty the trucks get at an event, our Hotsy pressure washers get them sparkling clean every time. This is a very important element of our success.”

Robin Paul, marketing director for Hotsy, said “Hotsy has enjoyed our sponsorship with Hall Bros. Racing over the past few years, and are pleased to continue into 2011. Not only do we keep the RAMINATOR spotless for races, but we share similar characteristics – rugged durability, power, and performance – which make our sponsorship a perfect fit. The Hotsy RAMINATOR is one tough truck, just like Hotsy pressure washers. More and more people have been exposed to the Hotsy name as a result of our sponsorship, and the truck is a great draw for us at appearances around the country. Nothing can clean the RAMINATOR like a Hotsy!”

Hotsy joins RAM trucks as major sponsors of Hall Bros. Racing. “It looks like 2011 will be a great year for Hall Bros. Racing” said Tim Hall. “I can’t wait to get back out there!”

Mat Dishman Moves Into Seat of Rammunition

September 5, 2010 by

(Champaign, IL) Hall Brothers Racing is proud to announce that MTRA Rookie of the year candidate Mat Dishman will take over the seat in the team’s Rammunition monster truck. “Mat has earned this chance—he started with us while he was in high school cleaning parts and running errands for us after school. He has worked his way up and knows these trucks inside out” said team co-owner Tim Hall. “I know Mat is excited, and I think I can teach him a few things to help him become a championship contender. I know he has a good truck under him—that RAM is a winner!” added Mark Hall.

The move was made to accommodate long time driver Geremie Dishman who is leaving to spend more time at home. “Geremie’s daughter Hope is growing up fast, and Geremie wanted to be home more to have more time with her. Who could question that?  We wish him all the best. He will still be involved with us from time to time” said Tim Hall.

“We have had a lot of people ask about who will drive our other race truck” added Mark Hall. “Quite frankly, we are flattered that so many people are interested in what we are going to do. We are currently talking to our sponsors and exploring all opportunities, and we will make a announcement regarding that truck at an appropriate time.”

Bloomsburg 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals Recap & Photos

July 13, 2010 by

One of the most storied venues in monster truck history was the scene this past weekend for another round of the 2010 Monster Truck Thunder Drags – the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds. A season that started off with great competition for the championship between Dan Runte in the Retro Bigfoot and Mark Hall in the new Raminator has now become the yearly Hall Brothers Racing domination tour as Mark went 3 out of 4 in Bloomsburg, with teammate Geremie Dishman in Rammunition getting the other win. Hall’s lead over 2nd place Runte is now massive after the dominant weekend and Bigfoot’s championship hopes are beginning to dwindle. In addition to the racing, there was plenty of great freestyle action from all eight trucks as well.

With the TMB crew scattered across the country this weekend, we have to send out a HUGE thanks to our good friend Jason Miller for submitting some absolutely gorgeous photos from Saturday in Bloomsburg – click the link below to check out his amazing work.
