May 16, 2012 - PRLog -- The Waxahachie Lions Club Mini Grand Prix is a fund raiser supporting local Lions Club charities.  It is a free family friendly event that starts at 8 am and runs until 3 pm with sidewalk vendors, knee-slappin’ music and lots of good-ole country vittles.

It’s not Sebring, but the competition is just as fierce with local companies and groups racing miniature decked-out go-karts around the downtown courthouse vying for trophies and having a great time.  

This year over 17 teams competed to support the Waxahachie Lions Club.  It may not be Sebring, but the racing is spirited and competition can get heated.

There are three divisions: Men’s Heavyweight, Men’s Lightweight and Women’s.  This is the second year Carlisle Chevrolet Cadillac has competed in the event and the first year to have a women’s team.  

The Carlisle Chevrolet Cadillac Women’s #19 car claimed 1st place this year; while the Carlisle Chevrolet Cadillac Women’s #26 car brought home the 3rd place trophy.  The Carlisle Chevrolet Cadillac Men’s Lightweight #26 placed 3rd in their event.

“It’s a good time and a great cause,” said Tres Blankenbeckler, owner of Carlisle Chevrolet Cadillac.  “Waxahachie Texas is such a great place to live and work, very community oriented; we are pleased to be a part of it.”  “Real Southern Hospitality” chimed-in Jerry Dean, Carlisle’s General Manager of thirty years.  “We’re probably the best kept secret in Texas,” he grinned.  “Yeah, but the word’s spreading,” Tres added.  ”More and more people from Mansfield and Arlington, even Dallas Fort Worth are finding that things are a little slower down here, not as pushy, and a lot closer than they thought.”  “Less than thirty-minutes from the Metroplex,” said Jerry.  

Winning is nothing new to Carlisle Chevrolet Cadillac.  A major supporter of local charities and the oldest Chevrolet dealer in Texas…they’ve been winning over the hearts of their customers since 1926.  Of course, exemplary customer care, award-winning service and a huge selection of New and Certified Preowned Chevy’s and Cadillac’s is a hard combination for the competition to beat.

If a Chevrolet or Cadillac is on your shopping list and you want to experience southern hospitality at its finest…without the high-pressure of the big-city dealers, Carlisle Chevrolet Cadillac at 1701 W Hwy 287 By-Pass in Waxahachie Texas is one dealer you need to visit.  Call them at 888-227-1926 or visit them on the web at http://www.CarlisleChevy.com, you’ll be glad you did.
