M1GP is happy to announce that John Hopkins will support mini road racing by granting M1GP official permission to use his name and images. John Hopkins is one of the icons of mini road racing, world-wide and especially in Southern California where he spent his mini road racing years with the former CMRRA ( Al Lyon’s California Mini Road Racing Association ) where M1GP evolved from, before being discovered by John Ulrich. “John (Hopkins) and his family have always been supportive of M1GP’s efforts and has always been gracious and a gentleman. Even with his busy racing career, he’s gone out of his way to support mini road racing – from granting interviews, paying visits to our events when he gets a chance, and encourages parents and youngsters to experience mini road racing. The fact that he’s approachable and still visits and supports his racing roots, says a lot about his character and caring about the sport. His fans and M1GP really appreciate that.” “We wish John a season of health, strength and good fortune with the M4 Monster Suzuki team in 2010.” – Young Lee – Race Director, M1GP To get involved in this great sport, please visit: www.m1-grandprix.com
