at this years King of the Hammers.”
Royal Purple scoured the field of potential
racers and sponsored racers and out of all of
the teams that Royal Purple supports they have
chosen to back the Nevada Union High School team
for the race entry in the 2010 Griffin King of
the Hammers. “We had so many teams approach us
and there was quite a lot of competition to get
our sponsored entry into the race, but we
believed in the Nevada Union High School team
project because its not just a buggy that they
are throwing money at, they are learning and
exploring and taking their project to the next
level each step of the way” said Burris. “We
have supported this project since it’s inception
and it really highlights the talent of the next
generation and the great capabilities that the
future of our industry has to look forward to.”
“We were really revved up when we found out that
we had been chosen to receive the Royal Purple
sponsorship for this event,” stated Nevada Union
High School Shop Director and Team Leader Joe
Silva. Silva and his core group of 20 high
school students have been building the King of
the Hammers buggy from scratch to race this
year.
