While ARP (Automotive Racing Products) has long been an NHRA Major Sponsor, posting for use of its head studs (or bolts) for all Sportsman categories at all National events, the company also supports grassroots racers in other venues.
At the upcoming Good Vibrations March Meet, to be held on March 5-8 at Famoso Dragstrip near Bakersfield, California, ARP is the presenting sponsor of Heritage T/F and Funny Car categories with cash awards to the event winners and quickest qualifiers. ARP is also providing a cash bonus for the No. 1 AA/Fuel Altered qualifier and the event winner.
On the opposite site of the country, ARP is lending its support to the Southeast Gassers Association and posting contingency awards at its 10-race schedule. The popular series pays homage to the wild, wheelstanding early iron that roamed the nation’s drag strips in the sport’s halcyon days.
ARP is also continuing its support of the Contingency Connection, which offers benefits to grassroots competitors at a large number of tracks across the United States.
