WRAPPED AND READY:
Kansan Brent Chapman carries new wrap to Classic
 February
3, 2009 - Bassmaster Elite Series pro Brent Chapman of Lake
Quivira , Kan. , will hit Louisiana for his eighth Bassmaster
Classic with a new, non-endemic wrap sponsor, Ultra-Tech Inc.,
a precision machine shop in Kansas City , Kan.
As Chapman drives into Shreveport-Bossier City
for the Feb. 20-22 Bassmaster Classic on the Red River, everyone
he passes will get two looks at the graphics: Chapman's tow vehicle
has the same eye-catching red-and-black wrap as his 21-foot Triton-Mercury
boat rig.
Founded in 1983, Ultra-Tech is a Chapman family
business. The principals include Brent's father and mother, Ron
and Pat Chapman, and their son-in-law, Chris Coad. It can handle
custom machining jobs of many types, such as for the aerospace
and medical industries, and is equipped with computerized technology,
according to Ron Chapman.
Early this week, Brent Chapman was obviously relieved
to have the wrap finished so he can turn his attention to all
the other tasks he wants to complete before making the 10-hour
drive from Kansas to Louisiana .
"This is crunch week," he said. "It's
the most stressful week of the year, with just seven days to
get everything else ready, not only for the Classic, but for
the Elite season."
The Elite pro said he is ready mentally for the
Classic challenge, and is looking forward to getting down to
it.
"The Red River 's been really good to me -
I won there back in 2000," said Chapman, referring to his
Louisiana Bassmaster Invitational (Tour) victory. "And I've
had some pretty decent finishes there other than that. February
is going to be a different time than when I've fished there in
the past, but it's something I'm definitely comfortable with.
I'm ready to go."
