Current NHRA B/Dragster National Record Holder Shane Heckel has announced the
signing of Goodridge Hoses & Fittings as an associate sponsor for the 2007
season. Heckel will use Goodridge's XF-900 Smoothbore hose and fittings in his
quest for the Division 4 title.
Heckel, who helps run the family businesses, HHH
Car Ports and Ballistic Race Craft, in La Porte, Texas, is excited about the
newest addition to his 200 mph dragster.
"Heckel Racing is proud to have Goodridge Hoses and
Fittings on board with us this year!" said Heckel. "On top of having a great
performing product, I believe they are they safest and best looking hoses on the
market, bar none. We will do our best to represent Goodridge Hoses and
Fittings in the winner's circle."
Chuck Westcott, director of motorsports for
Goodridge, is also excited about bringing Heckel to the growing list of racers
utilizing Goodridge's line of hoses and fittings.
"We're very excited to bring Heckel Racing into the
growing list of top caliber drag racing teams running Goodridge Hoses and
Fittings," stated Westcott. "We feel Competition Eliminator is a good market
for us because it's a class where every little bit counts. We feel Heckel
Racing will be a great representative of the edge we can provide."
Heckel will make his 2007 debut at his home track
of Houston Raceway Park for the Division 4 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series opener,
Feb. 16-18.
