  • The Carlstar Group Ultimax® Performance Belts is Again Named the Official Sponsor of the 2014 NHRA Northeast Division Pro Stock Snowmobile Series

    Apr 30, 2014

     

    Glendora, CA. - For the second consecutive year, Ultimax® Belts, a division of The Carlstar Group is the official sponsor and marketing partner of the 2014 NHRA Northeast Division Pro Stock Snowmobile Series.

     

    The renewed partnership is a result of last year’s success and the continued growth of the Pro Stock Snowmobile Series, which is in its 5th season. The Pro Stock Snowmobile Series is a "heads-up" quarter mile drag race sanctioned within NHRA Division 1 and has the NHRA designation of Pro Stock Snowmobile (P/SS).

     

    The races leading up to the Championship Series allow for two qualifying sessions where racers compete for 16 qualified spots followed by "Pro" ladder eliminations.

     

    The Championship Series is fully funded by sponsors and consists of 6 races scheduled to run with five Lucas Oil Divisional events and one Auto-Plus National Open.

     

    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:
