Industry leading VP Racing Fuels affirms enhanced strategic alignment with a drag racing fan favourite category…..
VP Racing Fuels, Inc., has announced they have signed a multi-year sponsor agreement with the REAL PRO MOD association.
“I grew up watching racers like Pat Musi and Frank Manzo,” said Freddie Turza, VP Racing Fuels Technical Manager. “Getting to work with them at their shops and at the track is a great opportunity. I know my knowledge and experience can be helpful to them and that’s one of the many advantages VP can offer customers that our competition can’t.” In addition to technical support VP participates in the NHRA Pro Mod Contingency Award Program.
Pro Mod team owners and drivers created the RPM association to preserve and promote the future of this type of drag racing, where suspended door race cars with more than 3,000 horsepower, travel the quarter mile in under six seconds and at speeds exceeding 250 MPH.
“We’re excited that VP Racing Fuels is back with us for 2018,” offered RPM’s Danny Rowe. “They’ve been a strong supporter of Real Pro Mod since the beginning. They’ve been great to work with, always supported us, been great to all the racers and we’re really excited to have them back with RPM in 2018. From a personal standpoint, the quality is second to none.”
VP RACING FUELS NAMED OFFICIAL FUEL OF MID-WEST PRO MOD RACING SERIES
VP Racing Fuels, Inc. also confirmed they have been named the Official Fuel of the Mid-West Pro Mod Racing Series. The all 1/8-mile drag racing series competes in events in Oklahoma, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas.
“At VP we’ve always strived to have the best fuels out there and when you look at these racers in the Mid-West Pro Mod Series, especially the nitrous Pro Mods, these racers need top-grade fuels in order to run right and go fast,” said Jason Rueckert, VP Racing Fuels Midwest Regional Manager. “These high-profile relationships also allow us to promote our brand to enthusiasts and general consumers. The products we have for them were built with the same dedication and attention to quality and performance as our race fuel products.”
In addition to providing a full menu of race fuels for series competitors, VP’s Lane Choice™ traction compound is used by a large number of series tracks to provide the racing surface needed for the high horsepower Pro Mods.
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s nitrous like my cars or blowers or turbos, these engines can be pretty finicky and anything you can do to make them more predictable will only help,” said series owner and competitor Keith Haney. “Having a company like VP Racing Fuels, with all their research and testing behind them, come on board as our official fuel supplier will help everyone to be more consistent with their tune-ups. And in drag racing consistency is everything.”
