Prolong currently sponsors Muldowney’s Top Fuel Dragster, which has been restored by its new owners Dave & Twila Mandella. The Mandellas utilize a variety of Prolong products in the high-horsepower dragster, including Nitro Racing Oil, Engine Treatment, Super Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer and SPL100(r) Super Penetrating Lubricant Spray.
As a sponsor of the Cruisin’ For A Cure event, Prolong will display its line of automotive lubricants and fuel additives in their booth, including the new 70W and 50W Nitro Racing Oil designed to deliver extra protection and performance in alcohol- or nitromethane-fueled race engines. It features a blend of premium synthetic base oils and additives, and is formulated with Prolong’s advanced Anti-Friction Metal Treatment(tm) (AFMT) technology to protect against high temperature oxidation, wear and viscosity breakdown during severe use.
Prolong’s Waterless Wash & Shine instant detailer is also great for the track as it delivers a beautiful car wash in less than 15 minutes without the need for water, rinsing or drying.
Cruisin’ For A Cure is a one-day charity custom/classic car show with more than 3,400 vehicles on display, over 200 vendors and exhibitors, and a 1.5 mile cruise route. The non-profit California organization raises money in support of the City of Hope(tm), a leading research, treatment and education center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases.
