OCALA, FL (November 29, 2011) — The Caterpillar engines will roar once again as Ring Power returns as the title sponsor of the $50,000 Ring Power Grand Prix at the Ocala Tournament during the 2012 HITS Ocala Winter Circuit on Sunday, March 4.
The road to the 2012 $1 Million Grand Prix will kick-off at the HITS Ocala Winter Circuit with 16 Grand Prix qualifiers – two more than last year thanks to the addition of the all-new Ocala Premiere week. The $50,000 Ring Power Grand Prix will be a vital qualifying event during the second half of the AA-rated circuit as High-Performance Riders look to earn a coveted spot in the $1 Million Grand Prix at HITS-on-the-Hudson in Saugerties, New York.
"Ring Power and HITS have had a strong relationship over the years and we're thrilled to have them sponsoring HITS Ocala again this year," said Lisa Engel, HITS Account Executive for Corporate Sponsorship."
