VP SELECTED AS
OFFICIAL SPEC FUEL FOR AMA FLAT TRACK
DAYTONA BEACH, FL (February 16, 2009) AMA Pro
Racing today announced VP Racing Fuels has been
chosen to provide spec fuel products for the AMA
Grand National Flat Track Series starting in
2009. As part of a multi-year agreement,
AMA Pro Flat Track competitors will be required
to use VP’s C12 racing fuel in both the Pro and
Expert classes. Plans call for teams to
preorder the fuel for each race, with VP to
deliver the fuel in 5-gallon pails prior to the
start of each event. AMA Pro, citing rising fuel
costs and a desire to provide a more level
playing field with the mandatory use of a spec
fuel, chose VP over all other proposals to
provide race fuel and technical support.
“We’re excited about our new partnership with
AMA Flat Track racing,” said Bruce Hendel, VP’s
Western Regional Manager. “VP has been a strong
supporter of motorcycle racing in all its forms
for most of its 34-year history. With an
uninterrupted string of championships over the
last several years in all Pro classes of AMA
Superbike, Supercross, Motocross and Supermoto,
it’s a natural fit for VP to fuel AMA Flat
Track.”
“VP fuels have a well-deserved reputation for
quality and consistency,” said Mike Kidd,
Director of AMA Flat Track. “We’re confident our
racers will appreciate the increased power and
consistency of VP’s C12 racing fuel.”
The first AMA Flat Track race of the season
is scheduled March 4-5 at Daytona Beach as part
of Bike Week. Fuel orders for Daytona must be
submitted to the VP regional distribution center
in San Antonio, TX by February 18. Additional
information can be obtained by calling the
appropriate VP regional distribution center
listed on VP’s website at vpracingfuels.com.
Fuel order forms are available by going to
amaproracing.com.
