Mazda is synonymous with the rotary engine. The company and its innovative product have been inseparably linked since the release of the first rotary powered 'Cosmo Sports' coupe in 1967. With the world spotlight forever shining on the progress of the rotary engine-and soon the introduction of the new Mazda RX-8's in 2003--Mazda will continue to be recognized world-wide for their technical achievements and driving success with rotary technology.

While Goodyear goes racing for a number of reasons, two of the most obvious reasons are to advance tire technology and provide exposure for the company through marketing and advertising opportunities. Tire technology proven at the track is readily transferred to improving consumer tire performance. Marketing opportunities capitalize on continually increasing audience sizes, both at the track and watching the race on television, and link Goodyear tires to racing, high performance and technology.

Racing helps us develop new technology primarily in three areas of tire design: mold shapes, tire construction and tire materials. Much of that information applies directly to our high-performance Eagle street tires because the basic construction of a race tire is similar to a consumer auto tire. Subtle improvements we make in tire performance on the track transfer readily to high-performance auto tires.

Consumer tires aren't the only products that benefit from our racing technology, however. Stock cars can exert 5,000 lbs. of weight on the right front tire through the 31-degree banks of Daytona International Speedway. These forces are similar to conditions that airplane and truck tires experience. This environment allows us to evaluate tire material durability and heat resistance and helps us learn about oils, carbon black and other components of commercial tires. All our tire lines and our customers benefit in one way or another from the technology we gain from racing.

The Goodyear name is highly visible to consumers at the racetrack. Goodyear Racing Eagles sport yellow letters and the Goodyear name is clearly visible on race cars, driver uniforms and at tracks worldwide. It's almost impossible to watch a motorsports event and not see some form of Goodyear identification. As a recognized leader in racing, this invaluable exposure lends credibility and value to our Eagle line.
Today, motorsports is the fastest growing spectator sport in the United States. Goodyear will continue to be a leading race tire supplier to the industry and consumers will continue to benefit from the advanced technology that makes the leap from track to street.

Red Line Synthetic Oil Corporation has the most complete line of automotive lubricants available. Red Line realizes that reducing friction is necessary in a rear differential, but that friction is actually necessary in a transmission so that synchronization may occur. No lubricant can do a perfect job for both. The same is true for engines. Reducing friction is a goal of engine lubricants, but the detergents used in most motor oils compete with the friction reducers for the metal surface. So if you want the lowest friction, use an oil formulated for the lowest friction. Red Line manufactures Racing Oils which contain few detergents, so no compromise has to be made.

VRacing has been making the best fuels for motorsports since 1975, and currently produces more than 60 unique blends. With these blends, VP has fueled champions in virtually every racing category and class -- from drag racing, circle track and roadracing to off-road, off-shore and even airplane racing.

In race venues not controlled by a fuel rule, VP consistently fuels more winners than any other American fuel company. VP's fuels have a well-deserved reputation for superior power and consistency – as illustrated by the NHRA Pro Stock Champions who have made VP their fuel of choice for 29 consecutive years -- a record unmatched by any major sponsor in the industry.

One of the reasons for VP’s consistent success is our focus. We don’t make pump gas and we don’t run a chain of convenience stores. We make power. And we make it for racing.

Total control over our products is another reason for our success. We blend all our own fuels. We lead them. We dye them. We drum them, test and store them. This painstaking care ensures every gallon of VP fuel meets our quality standards regardless of where it’s shipped or where it’s purchased.

While VP Racing owns and operates an analytical laboratory fully equipped with dyno and test engines, we spend most of our time working with racers in their shops, on their dynos and with their vehicles at the track. We’re actively involved in our customers’ success. This gives us a big advantage over larger oil companies that rely on laboratory conditions for most of their product development.

VP is no less demanding in the engineering and precision of its racing synthetic oils, two-cycle lubricants, additives, traction adhesives and accessories with each designed for maximum power and performance. We do all this to stay ahead of our competition so you can stay ahead of yours.
