Introducing our Partner Rehagen Racing (TMS on SpeedTV, TMS track days etc)

At The Mustang Source we are always striving to have great partnerships with quality Mustang vendors. We understand how this is a great benefit to the community as well as the vendors.

That’s why I very excited to introduce our partnership with Rehagen Racing.

As some of you may know, Rehagen Racing has cars in the Grand-Am and NASA race circuits. They were also the 2009 Grand-Am Koni Challenge Champions. They know Mustang handling and what it takes to win. Here's a quote from their website:

Originally Posted by RehagenRacing.com
What do Ford Motor Company engineers do in their spare time? Go racing! At least that's what Rehagen Racing's partners Larry Rehagen and Dean Martin do. Over the past 30 years, Rehagen Racing's staff has been comprised primarily of current and ex-Ford Motor Company employees. Their intimate knowledge of Ford Mustangs has no doubt factored into their success.
Larry a Ford Powertrain Systems Analysis Technical Specialist met Dean Martin at Ford. As a Vehicle Dynamics Development Engineer with Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT), Martin was responsible for the handling characteristics of the 2007 Shelby GT-500, SVT Focus, and the amazing 2000 Cobra R. While at SVT, Martin hand a hand in the SVT Contour and 2003 SVT Cobra. Having a feel for handling behavior wasn't just a talent—it it was his job.
So if any one understands Mustang handling and performance its Rehagen Racing.

Rehagen is an authorized dealer/installer for Ford Racing Performance Parts, Brembo, Sparco, Forgeline wheels, 986 Advanced Driver Cooling, Perfomance Friction, Cobalt Brakes, Stoptech, Roush Perfomance Products, Steeda, Maximum Motorsports and Piloti Driving shoes.

And, of course, TMS members get special pricing on everything.
So, if you have a street car, street/track, weekend racer, or hard core race car Rehagen Racing is The SOURCE for Knowledge and parts to give you the edge.

TMS and Rehagen Racing have a lot of exciting events planned for the 2011 race year, including some special days at the track just for TMS members. Also be sure to look for TMS on Speed TV on the Rehagen Racing Grand Am Cars in Continential Tire Challenge (we will be sure to tell you when to set your DVR).

Rehagen is planning TMS owner corrals at many Grand-Am events this season and TMS members are always welcome to come and hang out in the paddock with RR! Also be on the lookout for open houses at the shop and more!


As those events come closer, we will be sure to inform all the members of what is planned. Until then though, make sure you check out their performance and racing parts and services. Stinger1982 (Shaun) is the representative from Rehagen that can answer any questions you may have.

Thanks again to Rehagen Racing for being a part of TMS!

Outstanding. BOSS302R wheels for all!

Also I could use some of those '11 brake duct inlets for the BOSS fascia provided I end up ordering one soon...

Congrats! I will definitely look you up as soon as I'm ready to get those much-desired mods!

PS. All the tuners/etc are East Coast or Southern Cali based... wish there was some in the Pacific Northwest/Seattle/Portland area.

First I would like to thank Jon for the warm welcome.

We are very excited to once again be partnered with TMS.

I personally cant wait for TMS track days next year. Giving you guys a chance to come out and enjoy your cars in a safe controlled enviroment with professional instruction.

I also cant wait to meet a lot of the memebrs as we travel the country next year on the Grand-Am trail. I have spoken with Grand-Am and they have given us a special area of the paddock or infield parking area to set up just for TMS memebers and bring you guys down to the paddock/pits and show you our operaation. Its going to be a lot of fun! (there might even be some goody bags in store for those who attend )

anyways, I look forward to meeting you guys in person as the season goes along.
And sharing news about the team as we fight for the 2010 NASA National Championship (Sept. 16-19) and the 2011 Grand-Am series!

If you guys have any questions or need help dont be shy to ask (most arent I get A LOT of PM's already. I do my best to get them returned ASAP)

congratulations

Great group of guys. They did the FRPP handling pack on my car at the track. Great work and a even better day. Although the 100 degree heat was a bit much

Can't wait for the next time you guys come to my area to meet up with them again.

When are you going to Limerock?

This so exciting for me! We've worked with RR in the past and Larry, Dean and the rest of the crew at Rehagen are such a great crew. I got to know a few of them in the past and just a great group of enthusiast as well as just fun to be around. It will be awesone to see the TMS name on some Koni cars again! Cant wait for you guys to come through Birmingham again.

I am for sure applying for my hot-pit pass again at Barbers next year. I loved being on the wall photographing the crew in the heat of the race. Can't wait to get a chance to meet ya Shaun.

There is something about being in the pits that even stupid hot weather or pouring rain has a hard time damping. I dunno what it is. I just love it.

I look forward to meeting you as well (and any TMS memeber that comes out to any of the races)

TMS joining up with Rehagen Racing (again) is a great matchup. What a great way to represent one of the fastest growing Mustang enthusiast forums with a race team that knows Mustangs well. The guys at Rehagen have a lot of knowlegde when it comes to properly setting up a Mustang for road racing. That experience also extends back to previos generations as well.
I have known these guys for some time now, and their advice has helped with the setup I currently use on my SN95 track car. I will probably tag along with Shaun to some of the events next season and hang out in the TMS corral. Congrats to Dean, Larry, Shaun, and the guys at TMS for making this happen. See you all at the track.
