GC COOLING IS THE OFFICIAL COOLING FAN OF 2018 HOT ROD DRAG WEEK

DES MOINES, IA – GC Cooling has signed on as the official cooling fan of the 2018 Hot Rod Drag Week hosted from September 9 to September 14. As the official cooling fan of the event, GC Cooling will travel to each destination along the route, providing technical advice as well as selling 12V, 16V and 24V fans and accessories.

Hot Rod Drag Week is an annual event where hundreds of street cars compete to earn the title of Fastest Street Car in America. Entering its 14th year, Hot Rod Drag Week uses four drag strips over five days. Drivers drag race in the morning before taking a predetermined route to the next drag strip. Distances between the drag strips are usually several hundred miles, and drivers must be able to drive from one strip to the next without support vehicles. Only the tools and equipment the drivers can carry in a small trailer are allowed.

“Hot Rod Drag Week is the perfect proving ground to demonstrate our high-performance cooling products,” said Bob Folkestad, owner of GC Cooling. “This event is a true test of the all-around capabilities of these vehicles because most of these cars are easily pushing 1000 HP or more and need serious cooling.”

Racing has been an integral part of Folkestad’s life. As such, sponsoring Hot Rod Drag Week is just one facet of GC Cooling’s involvement. Folkestad will be competing at the event in a record-setting Fireball 900 Camaro with a custom cooling package designed by the company courtesy of Ryan Martin of Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws.

The company’s 40-foot trailer will be on-site at every drag strip throughout the five day event. Members of GC Cooling’s team will be handing out goodie bags as they offer advice and sell cooling products.
