Small Tire Pro Stock is proud to welcome G-Force Racing Transmissions as a sponsor for the 2026 racing season.

The Cleona, Pennsylvania-based company is owned and operated by Leonard Long, a multi-time NMCA Dart NA 10.5 champion and Small Tire Pro Stock racer, and his son, Michael Long.

The company offers masterfully crafted manual transmissions for a variety of cars and combinations, including the popular GF2000 five-speed and G101A four-speed, as well as accessories to optimize their performance. 

Long and his team also produce a proven line of products through Long Shifters, and those products are in the spotlight in drag racing, drag and drive and circle track competition. The parent company of G-Force Racing Transmissions and Long Shifters is Long Machine and Tool, which performs industrial machining.

“As a racer myself, I always want to see racing series succeed, and I have a special connection to the Small Tire Pro Stock series since I have raced with many of these racers for a very long time,” said Long, who also competes in Pro Stick and other series. “I want to see Small Tire Pro Stock succeed for years to come, and I am happy to be part of it.”
