Apr 8, 2013
Glendora, CA. - We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Carlisle Transportation Products, making Carlisle the presenting sponsor of the Pro Stock Snowmobile series in 2013! The Pro Stock Snowmobile Series was developed in 2009, within the NHRA Northeast Division and now in its 4th year, is gaining in popularity and gathering momentum.
This "heads-up" quarter mile drag racing Pro Stock Snowmobile Series is sanctioned within NHRA Division 1 and has the NHRA designation of Pro Stock Snowmobile - P/SS. The racing format allows for two qualifying sessions for 16 qualified spots followed by "Pro" ladder eliminations. The Championship Series is comprised of a six race schedule run in conjunction with five Lucas Oil Divisional events and one Sony/PC Richard.com National Open and is fully funded by sponsors.
Carlisle manufactures Ultimax, the leading aftermarket brand of snowmobile and ATV drive belts. For screamin' hi-performance on the track or on the trail, riders can depend on Ultimax. Ultimax belts are designed to provide optimum performance and longer life. With specially formulated rubber compounds and extra strong aramid cord, Ultimax belts are proudly made in the USA to deliver peak power and peak efficiency.
Pro Stock Snowmobiles will continue to be included in the sportsman ranks. The races are held at some of the Northeast's most famous and historic tracks, adding prestige and legitimacy to this most interesting spectator racing event. Pro Stock Snowmobile is contested in Virginia at Virginia Motorsports Park, Lebanon Valley Dragway near Albany, NY, in the Province of Quebec at Napierville Dragway, and Epping, NH at New England Dragway. Atco Dragway and Old Bridge Township Raceway Park host the Series in New Jersey, while Cecil County Dragway holds the event in Maryland. Division 1 has been quick to promote the continued growth and acceptance of the Pro Stock Snowmobile Championship Series.
NHRA Northeast Divisional races historically draw 450 to 500 individual entries, ranging in class from Stock to Top Alcohol Dragster. Each entry is accompanied by crew members and staff adding up to thousands of participants alone. Additionally there are 3500 to 5000 brand loyal motorsports spectators in attendance at each event – and every ticket is a pit pass! Unlike other forms of motorsports, drag racing fans are encouraged to interact with drivers and crew members and traverse the pits areas. Drag race fans are a motivated audience interested in any entity associated with drag racing.
