Safety Initiative Program an important part in drag racing series events
PMRA and Quick 32 Sportsman Series well-equipped with safety apparatus and personnel if needed
CAYUGA, ONTARIO (August 27, 2010) – Drag racing offers some of the most exciting and colorful racing in all of motorsport, but safety is an important element and cannot be overlooked.
When the Pro Modified Racing Association and the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts stage an event, the fire and rescue safety crew is front and center throughout the racing in case of an emergency.
“Our squad works closely with the teams and supplement the venue’s emergency and safety crew where we participate to ensure that a proper safety and emergency plan is in place to the benefit of our teams and their families, the track, the series, the sponsors and our fans”, explained Bruce Mehlenbacher, Director of Operations. “The safety of our fans, drivers and crew members is a critical priority to the PMRA and Quick 32 Sportsman Series”.
Stawicki Racing aligns with LAT Racing Oils
The Stawicki Racing Pro Extreme team has recently announced its alliance with LAT Racing Oils.
Stawicki’s record breaking G-Force Race Cars built 68 Firebird, which recently set the North American Doorslammer speed record @ 255 mph and has run a best of 5.739 seconds in the quarter mile, made the switch over to LAT Racing Oils the race before the record was set. Mike Stawicki, team driver and owner of MSR Performance stated, “In the last 25 years of racing I’ve really never had oil make a difference in any of my engines for myself or my customers. That’s not the case with LAT. After making 13 consecutive runs in the 5 second zone with all runs between 252 and 255 mph my engine honestly has never looked better. We have run a total of 13 runs over 252 mph. The engine bearing s were in great shape as well as all other essential rotating parts. The engine over all just looked great and measured better than it ever has before. I’ll go to bat saying that this LAT Racing Oil really works well. I’ve tried many lubricants and additives in my career and I’m completely sold on LAT Racing Oils. I will be putting it in every engine that leaves my shop from this point on”.
