Royal Purple to sponsor Maxx2Racing ’99 Firebird, adding to its sponsorship.

Royal Purple to sponsor Maxx2Racing for 2012. Awesome News!

You are not dreaming. Royal Purple to sponsor the ’99 Firebird, adding to its sponsorship of The Royal Purple Maxx2Racing ‘Bad Bird’ LSR Race Car.

The Firebird, in its ‘Brilliant Black’ and Royal Purple colors, is being built to ‘Show Quality’, yet, will still be a Land Speed Race Car of note. Not a rarity? Actually, the car will be highway driven, and compete at various LSR events for 2012. One can take a nice weekend drive, an enjoyable experience, without that feel of harshness. The UMI Suspension Components, along with the RideTech Air Suspension System will provide a ride you normally do not see in these cars.

The Firebird, yet to be officially named, will be featured at multiple Northern, Central, and Southern Nevada and California car shows, plus Hot August Nights (HAN) satellite events at the Hotel-Casinos in the Reno-Sparks-Tahoe area. Hot August Nights attracts 6,000 registered vehicles, with up to 20,000-25,000 additional vehicles attending the Off-Site events.

Now, with these achievements, the Maxx2Racing Team will actively seek additional sponsors to bring the team to the very top of our sport, as we continue to promote the most amateur of all auto racing venues, Land Speed Racing.

Our motto for 2012, “Your Name Here”. These Sponsorship Packages feature a very small per event fee, with your company Logo-Decal on one or both cars, noting that multiple current sponsors and suppliers have already signed up for this program.

Sponsors and Suppliers are not just dollar signs to us, they are family, and partners. Companies that have their lives invested into auto related activities, including every type, kind, and size of events one can imagine. Their dedication to an industry that continues to thrive beyond all expectations and economic situations. We are honored to feature their company Logos-Decals on our Maxx2Racing Team cars.

The SEMA Show was all everyone said it would be, and much, much more. Every automotive vehicle you could think of was on display, along with hundreds of vendors with their products. You could spend a month at this show, and still not see everything.

Monday was spent finally meeting Dane Buckley/Point Imaging, http://www.pointimaging.com/, the company who sponsored the wrap for the car. Dane, an avid race car ‘Nut’ as we like to call ourselves, made the decisions a couple of months ago to wrap the car at the show, and furnished the best available from the 3M Company. Shareef Khan, SSC-SS Customs, Redwood City, CA, arrived early mid-morning, and worked his professional touches on the installation of the new Royal Purple colors of the wrap for the car.

We have accomplished each and every goal we have set for this car, only missing running the car at the Bonneville Salt Flats, something that most know was beyond our control. Take a few minutes out of your busy schedules to view the main page of our main website, and you will see the accomplishments this very special LSR Race Car has achieved, including being part of being driven by one of the top drivers in Land Speed Racing, David Haas, to set the record for most 200 LSR Clubs, an envious accomplishment in itself. David is also a member of the ‘Prestigious’ 300 MPH Club at Bonneville, running the Haas Streamliner.

We were formally introduced to Brenda Hyatt, Journalist, and Donald Scelzo, Photographer of WorldNewsVine at the SEMA Show. They had heard that the RP ‘Bad Bird’ was to be wrapped at the show, taking before and after pictures. They have printed the SEMA Show articles in their publication, with The Royal Purple Maxx2Racing ‘Bad Bird’ LSR Race Car in the featured front page article. Being on the same page (Including pictures of the car itself) with Racing Legends Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones and his son PJ Jones, the King of the Kustomizers George Barris, Chip Foose, NASCAR's Brad Keselowski and David Ragan, and Indy Car Driver Helio Castroneves, is ‘Awesome’ for Royal Purple, and the Maxx2Racing Team to say the least.

Maxx2Racing Mojave Mile results for October 8-9.

The Royal Purple Maxx2Racing ‘Bad Bird’ LSR Race Car ran thru its ‘Licensing Up’ qualifications this past weekend, with Richard (aka Maxx) and Bob Lucas driving the car. A driver must prove to the promoters that he or she is capable of safely driving a “Full Bore Race Car” of this caliber before going beyond the 200 MPH barrier. So close, and now, both of us can now go that speed and above, actually to 230, as we proved out worth to the MKM/Mojave Mile team.

Sunday’s Mojave Mile Results-

Richard's final run-195.4

Bob's only run-192.1

Richard's 1st run-188.5
