Dragway 42 is proud announce the renewal of the Dragway 42 track contingency program sponsorship with safety equipment manufacturer ProFox Racing for the 2010 season for all of our racing classes.

ProFox Racing first joined Dragway 42's family of contingency sponsors in 2009 and gained wide acceptance due to the nature of their products and their coverage of Dragway 42's Top, Mod, and Street classes for the big cars and all 3 of Dragway 42's junior dragster classes.

Although safety equipment is not immediately thought of as a "speed secret", Dragway 42's top 3 racers in the Jr. Fuel class standings, the points champion in Jr. Stock, and the points runner-up in the Street class during the 2009 season were just some of the racers who picked up additional cash for their individual race wins while wearing ProFox Racing safety equipment.

For 2010, racers in ANY Dragway 42 class will be eligible earn an additional $25 for a class win at any Summit SuperSeries points event or any holiday weekend or other special event with an advertised purse of $1,000 or more to win. That cash is paid out, on the spot, on race day, at the pay window along with the regular class winnings.

To be eligible, a racer must be a participant in Dragway 42's 2010 point series, must display a ProFox Racing decal on both sides of their vehicle, and must have purchased $150 or more worth of merchandise from ProFox Racing.

The $150 purchase amount can be from any single invoice or the total of multiple invoices.

For those racers who have purchased merchandise from ProFox Racing in previous years, ProFox Racing is graciously allowing the $150 threshold to be met through the combined total of purchases made for the eligible racer in 2008, 2009, and/or 2010.

ProFox Racing offers a full line of SFI certified racing gear including fire jackets, fire pants, firesuits, gloves, shoes, underwear, head socks, and neck collars.

ProFox Racing's premium driving suits, shoes and gloves are among the best in the industry, crafted with care and pride with your safety being their highest priority. All have SFI certified ratings from 3.2A/1 to 3-2A/5.

When Ohio's own weather predicting groundhog stuck his head out today and saw his shadow, Buckeye Chuck predicted an early Spring.

Well that forecast works out wonderfully for Dragway 42's racers as they chomp at the bit for a chance to shake off the snow and ice of Winter, and get to work on the more seasonal activity of drag racing.

The time to prepare those machines to hit the track is now!

Do not forget, Dragway 42's "Spring Opening Weekends" are scheduled for Saturdays and Sundays, March 20-21 and 27-28.

With that schedule and Buckeye Chuck's blessing, Dragway 42's racers will be making passes on the West Salem track anywhere from two weeks to six weeks earlier than those who using our various neighbor's facilities.

Thank you Buckeye Chuck! Please meet with Mother Nature and make sure that she is on board as well!
