No changes expected in 2011 for Quick 32 Sportsman Series team of Steve Corriveau
First year successful with 1967 Chevy II Top Sportsman entry
FONTHILL, ONTARIO (December 21, 2010) – For Steve Corriveau, 2010 was the right time to start racing in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts.
“I’ve always loved fast doorslammers,” said the driver of the 1967 Chevy II Top Sportsman entry. “I was trying to find the right time to get into this type of racing, but the Quick 32 Sportsman Series opened the door.”
After racing for about 20 years, Corriveau toyed with a dragster to race in the series, but the opportunity came along to purchase the ex-Bruce Boland Pro Modified, and he set out to make the car a top runner in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series. Running a DSE1-built big-block Chevy engine, Corriveau won the Top Sportsman side during the series’ opener at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park in May of 2010, and knew he had made the right decision.

Quick 32 Sportsman Series Top Dragster team and sponsor give back to charity after wins on dragstrip
ORANGEVILLE, ONTARIO (December 15, 2010) – The Hinbest Racing team certainly enjoys racing its Top Dragster in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts, but the team also gave to charity through its racing this year.
In a coordinated program with sponsor Ideal Supply, the team donated $50 to charity for every round win on the dragstrip during regular competition in 2010, and Ideal matched the team’s contribution.
“This was something we decided to do earlier,” said team driver Mike Hinbest. “The goal was to help raise money for charity while adding an extra incentive for me to win.”
With six round wins, Hinbest Racing and Ideal Supply contributed $600 this season to the Canadian Cancer Society.
