George and Tammy Gamester of Peru started Gamester Racing Products (GRP Chassis) in August of 2005. Gamester Racing Products makes many different styles of frames for racers to choose from. GRP also makes some of the components for the car.

"We make anything from the micro sprints and midgets, all the way up to dirt champ cars", said George.

"We build frames and a lot of components for the car like front axles, bumpers, and nerf bars", said George.

"Most of the time we build the frames (Like the above picture) and send them off for other racers to decide which parts they want to use." George went on to explain, "There are a lot of outfits (companies) that make different parts. The racer usually assembles what parts they want on the car. The buyer (racer) can decide what they want."

Amboy native K.C. Hughes drivers the #14 micro sprint in both the Open and Non Wing classes at the Miami County Speedway.

"George Gamester builds chassis's for us, all types of sprint cars", said Hughes. Hughes Racing would like to thank all their sponsors; GRP Chassis, Troy Hollingsworth Performance, Hoosier Racing Tire, Edge Graphics in Peru and Hypercoil Springs.

Logansport racer Cody Fogelsong also races his #32 micro sprint in both the Open and Non Wing classes at the Miami County Speedway. Cody uses a GRP Chassis.

"I like the GRP set up a lot", said Fogelsong. "I like the way it drivers and handles. I had three feature wins last year in the GRP chassis. I'd like to thank my sponsors; Gamester Racing Products, TK Graphics, KC's Auto Body out of New London, Ind. and Clem's Cycle Sales, for their great motors and support they give us throughout the year."
