O’FALLON, MO (May 2, 2011) – Continuing a close partnership that was first formed in 2009, the American Drag Racing League (ADRL) is pleased to announce that noted clutch manufacturer RAM Clutches has signed on as a Performance Partners sponsor for the 2011 season.
Regarded as the future of clutch technology for its innovative designs, working with the world’s premier eighth-mile drag racing league has become an ideal relationship for RAM Clutches.
“We are excited to be involved with the ADRL again in 2011. The ADRL has a great vision for doorslammer racing and we want to do our part to see that it carries on into the future,” RAM Clutches’ Pat Norcia said.
“It’s amazing to see the growth of the ADRL since it started in 2004. To see it become what it is today in such a short amount of time is just incredible.”
RAM has been a go-to name in the clutch business for numerous drivers in the ADRL, including 2010 Extreme Pro Stock (XPS) World Champion John Montecalvo and 2010 Pro Nitrous (PN) World Champion Burton Auxier.
In fact, RAM was the choice of all eight drivers who competed in the XPS “Battle For The Belts” last October, and five of the eight drivers in PN.
With an abundance of ADRL competitors using RAM, it was natural for the two companies to form a partnership.
“It’s been an excellent fit,” Norcia said. “All of the classes in the ADRL fit our demographics with the products we build.
“These classes continue to develop and it’s hard to beat watching them race. It’s very exciting to see them go up and down the track.”
Norcia and RAM get a first-hand experience at each ADRL event as well, as RAM continues to have a noticeable presence at each event.
RAM will be in attendance for this weekend’s Penske Truck Leasing Inaugural Northeast Drags at Maple Grove Raceway, offering trackside support to its impressive number of customers.
“That’s the most enjoyable part of the job, going to the events, lending a hand to our customers and seeing them make a great run,” Norcia said.
The massive crowds that make up each ADRL event have also benefitted RAM in a strong way.
With clutches and car components available to everyone from professional racers to street car drivers, RAM’s full product line has its place at an ADRL event.
“The ADRL has brought a lot of new fans to the races and that allows us to reach out to fans and create new customers,” Norcia said. “We’re not just supporting the racers. Someone who has a street car can buy RAM products.”
The Columbia, S.C.-based business continues to be on the cutting edge of development as well, finding new materials to use on products to help performance and durability.
“Everyone at RAM Clutches has done an amazing job and we are so excited to be working with them again in 2011,” ADRL Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brian Evans said.
“They are great people and the performance of their products speak for themselves.”
