Rally Team Snubs Bidders; Gets Hyperbolic

After a long bidding process and days of negotiation, the Road Rally team temporarily known as Katz’s Angels has made a groundbreaking decision to decline all naming rights offers on the table and go sponsor-free. The trio of Jen, Meg, and Andy announced themselves as “Hyperbolic” to the Road Rally press corps on Sunday. The name is a shout out to Andy’s geometric past with Isosceles and Straight Line. A hyperbolic triangle is a triangle which is not contained in a (flat) plane. “Like the triangle, our team has strength in multiple dimensions,” said team driver Jen.

Top bidders in the naming race were not happy with the decision. When reached at her bungalow in Rockport, Theresa had some scathing remarks. “I took two weeks out of my Summer to negotiate these naming rights. What oddsmakers wouldn’t put their money behind T-bird’s Turtles? This rally team is full of themselves.” Slim was found at the Concord River with his shirt off and had this to say, “I saved all year for the funds to put my name behind this superstar cast. Slim’s Shadies would have really caught on with the kids.”

Despite the controversy, the team is happy to move forward and focus on the task at hand. Meg remarked, “We had to put an end to this bidding process. It was a distraction to our team and quite frankly I was getting freaked out by the bottles of Merlot that Bryan was sending me.”

Hyperbolic will be training this week, with an off-day on Thursday for massage treatment. Hyperbolic…you have to admit…it’s got a nice ring to it.
