LUCAS OIL SUPPORTS BRITISH DRAG RACING HALL OF FAME GALA DINNER
Lucas Oil Products UK has become the latest company to support the 2014 British Drag Racing Hall of Fame (BDRHoF) Gala Awards 
Dinner being held at the Savill Court Hotel, Windsor Great Park on November 22nd.
Lucas Oil Products was founded by Forrest Lucas and his wife Charlotte in 1989.
They started Lucas Oil Products with the simple philosophy of producing only the best line of lubricants and additives available anywhere. An innovative product research and development programme, along with aggressive marketing has helped to firmly establish Lucas as a prominent figure in the marketplace.
The Lucas brand has long been directly involved in the American racing industry through multiple vehicle sponsorships and racing event promotions, at all levels. Seeing a need for better lubricants in this industry, the Lucas people went to work again. The end result is a line of high performance engine oils and gear oils that are second to none in the racing industry.
Les Downey is Managing Director and Director of European Operations for Lucas Oil Products UK that he established back in 1998. He has been associated with supporting UK drag racing for many years and at the Savill Court he is hosting the welcome drinks for guests as they arrive ready for the Awards Dinner. Commenting on his support of the BDRHoF Gala Awards Dinner Les Downey said,
“It gives me immense pleasure to be able to support this much needed prestige drag racing social event and play a part in honoring those who helped get the sport established in the UK. I have made so many friends during my involvement with the sport and I look forward to meeting up with them in Windsor”.
“But as well as welcoming guests with a drop of bubbly we will also be involved in another aspect of the event to be announced on the night. It promises to be an evening to remember and set a new standard in hospitality that can only benefit the sport of drag racing over the next few years. It’s particularly rewarding to be involved in the event that also celebrates 50 years since Sydney Allard organized the First British International Drag Festival”.
Commercial and Marketing Manager for the BDRHoF Management Group Brian Taylor said, “We have put a lot of effort to ensure this 50th Anniversary BDRHoF Gala Awards Dinner will be a big success and fitting tribute to the sport’s pioneers. It is great to have Les and Lucas Oil Products on board as a supporter. They have become part of the drag racing family across the globe. Not many drag racing events are held without the Lucas Oil shield appearing somewhere and this BDRHoF Gala Awards Dinner will be no exception”.
