The Sponsorships for the Maritime Super Series have been pioneered by Tom Nicholls of the Nicholls Group. Tom noted that `` The series has been well received, especially among Street Stock, and even with the impact of Covid. With the current travel restrictions in place for the three Maritime Provinces, we will review and restructure payouts on a pro-rated basis if necessary. We are committed to the principle that all sponsorship funds go to the competitors. For now, we need the drivers to help secure more funds for their campaigns and get on board. Drivers should register now even if they can't attend all events. I am also hopeful that once we get to fewer restrictions and start racing, the points fund and minimum payouts will grow and the payout pool will increase. Companies wishing to see the sponsorship kit and all the benefits of being involved with the MSS are asked to please contact Tom at or at 902-940-3552. Your FREE early registration by June 5th will help make this happen”. Tim Wile, acting GM at CFS stated “We want to thank Tom for his outstanding help and his commitment to CFS. Tom has a great deal on his plate this year as well as a recent training injury. With all of this plus racing his own cars, a new business venture, and a move to NB, Tom is going to concentrate on these items for the remainder of the year. Thanks again, Tom”.
