Wilkerson Fan Appreciation Night on Thursday, February 5, prior to the
Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals at Pomona Raceway. The free
"meet and greet" autograph session with Tim Wilkerson and other members
of the Levi, Ray & Shoup Shelby Mustang Funny Car team, is

The Residence Inn by Marriott and Team Wilkerson partnered for a similar fan-outreach program during the 2008 Auto Club Finals in Pomona, and the reaction was so positive both parties wanted to implement the program again to provide an added value to fans attending this year's season opener, as the NHRA kicks off its 2009 Full Throttle campaign with the historic Winternationals in Southern California. In addition to the complimentary autograph session, the Residence Inn is offering a special Winternationals package for guests, including a luxurious Residence Inn suite and a ticket to the race for both Saturday and Sunday, all for the low price of $165 per night.

"Let me tell you, this is one of the nicest properties we stay in all year, and they open their arms to racers and race fans, so that makes it even better," said Tim Wilkerson. "We had a great time meeting all the fans last fall, and we hope everyone makes it out again next week, to get an autograph or just say hello. With all the economic challenges we're all facing right now, it's great that we can partner up with the Residence Inn by Marriott and give the fans a little more bang for their buck, both in terms of the autograph session and the great package rate they're offering. You can't hardly do any better than a Residence Inn suite, and you're only a few minutes from the track and right by the airport. We hope to see a lot of friendly faces all weekend, at the hotel and at the track."
