Sonoma, Calif. – When the Ahten Racing CleanBoostoil.com/Island Renovations Top Alcohol Dragster competes this weekend at the NHRA Division 7 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., the team will have an opportunity to extend a winning streak for the first time in their A/Fuel Dragster career. They will also have a chance to double their pleasure, as this event will also conclude the postponed Division 7 LODRS event from Phoenix in March.
Coming off the team’s first National Event victory at the IHRA Salt Lake Nitro-Jam in June, the Santa Clarita, Calif. based team will also use the weekend’s racing activities to debut their new marketing partnership with Combustion Technologies USA (http://www.combustionusa.com) and their CleanBoost® PERFORMANCE MOTOR OIL product line.
“We are very excited to have partnered with the group at Combustion Technologies USA for the remainder of 2010 and beyond,” noted Johnny Ahten, the 38-year old driver of the CleanBoostoil.com/Island Renovations A/Fuel Dragster. “We met with these guys at the Las Vegas National Event in April and absolutely hit it off from the start. They are all dedicated drag racers, who have developed several environmental safe performance products, which also provide exceptional cost-savings to race teams. Plus, their stuff is amazing quality and we feel gives us a performance advantage. We’re hoping to prove it this weekend in Sonoma. We’d love nothing more than to provide them with another NHRA Wally this weekend.”
Based in Sandy, Utah, CleanBoost® PERFORMANCE MOTOR OIL is a subdivision company of Combustion Technologies USA, a privately held corporation, owned and operated by drag racers and automotive enthusiasts, who provide specialized products and services focused towards equipment performance and maintenance solutions coupled with measurable improvements in the operating costs of your equipment. They specialize in the Trucking, Construction, Mining, Oil & Gas, Automotive, Motorsports, Marine Industries and private label licensing of their products. They accomplish this by providing customers with the latest and most advanced products and service available in the industry today, while focusing on developments and new technology to improve the quality of their products to reduce the pollution effects of our environment.
“We can’t begin to explain how excited we are to have partnered with the Ahten Family and their competitive A/Fuel Dragster for the remainder of 2010 and beyond,” noted Tim Charlet, Director of Sales and Marketing for Combustion Technologies USA. “The Ahten Family has proven over a period of time to be nothing short of the definition of class. We’d also like to thank Kevin Stith from Stith Printing for going above and beyond to ensure the team had new crew shirts available this weekend in Sonoma. We’ve got 3 NHRA Divisional Wally’s and 1 National Event Wally with teams using our products since April this year and we believe Johnny, Al, Bob, Howard, “Shark” and “Rocky” will help us add to the winning totals.”
The Ahten Racing team will also have Mark Niver Tribute stickers available at their pit area. The team is asking for a $5.00 donation for each sticker. The proceeds will be added to those raised by Combustion Technologies USA with their online sales and donated to Racers for Christ on behalf of the request of the Niver Family. Other stickers will be available from several Top Alcohol Division 7 teams in Sonoma.
