Turbo, Honda Tuning Magazines sponsor NHRA classes

National Dragster, May 9, 2003

Turbo Magazine and Honda Tuning Magazine have been named the title sponsors of the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series' Hot Rod and All Motor categories, respectively. The categories are two of the five heads-up classes that encompass the $2.1 million series, which is contested at nine tracks nationwide and features television coverage on ESPN2.

Turbo Magazine and Honda Tuning Magazine are two of the many leading car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiast publications produced by the Primedia Automotive Group. Primedia produces more than 250 titles and is the number-one special-interest publisher in the United States.

"Both magazines are extremely proud to sponsor two of the most competitive classes in the NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series," said Denise Convertito, Primedia's group operations director. "We are looking forward to another terrific season of NHRA sport compact racing and are excited to be associated with the Hot Rod category as its drivers aim for low-eight-second passes and to see who will be the first All Motor driver in the nines."

Turbo also presents the NHRA/Turbo Magazine Track Conduct Seminars presented by Nitrous Express at each of the 10 NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series events. The seminars focus on a variety of topics relating to drag racing, from passing technical inspection to correctly staging a race car. Turbo Magazine editors, NHRA technical staff members, and sport compact racers give advice, field questions, and provide a hands-on educational experience.
