Written By Ian Tocher

MOSELEY, VA (Feb. 2, 2011) — OTG Racing is pleased to announce the addition of MagnaFuel Racing Fuel Systems (www.magnafuel.com) as a major associate sponsor for its 2011 American Drag Racing League (ADRL) Pro Nitrous campaign.

MagnaFuel, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has been designing and manufacturing premium, durable, high-performance fuel systems since 1995, with applications available for everything from speedboats to hill-climb trucks. Among its drag racing clients are NHRA Pro Stock world champions Greg Anderson, Warren Johnson and Jason Line, as well as ADRL Pro Nitrous pioneer Charles Carpenter.

“We’re very excited about working with MagnaFuel,” OTG team owner Brian Shaw said from his Moseley, Virginia, race shop. “We’ve been putting a deal together with them since the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show in December and it all came together just last week. We really couldn’t be any happier.”

Also coming on board to sponsor the world’s quickest and fastest nitrous-oxide-boosted 1941 Willys is Maryland-based Banshie Studios with famed airbrush artist Chuck Buckler.  

“Chuck B has painted just about every Pro Mod car I’ve ever had, so it’s an honor to officially welcome him and all the guys at Banshie Studios,” Shaw said. “No matter what happens on the track, they’ve always made us look good!”

Still pumped up after going a career-best 3.93 seconds at 189.76 miles per hour last October to qualify for the ADRL race at the Texas Motorplex, Shaw and his driver, Chris Patrick, are anxious to get this season started Mar. 25-26, at Baytown, Texas, near Houston.

“ADRL is all we’re going to run this year,” Shaw stated. “We’ll probably do a little testing down at Bradenton (Florida) early in March, but what we’re really looking forward to is that first race in Houston. And with MagnaFuel and Banshie joining us, we’re looking forward to a great year.”  

OTG Racing thanks all of its sponsors and supporters, including MagnaFuel Racing Fuel Systems, Banshie Studios, Fulton Race Engines, Pat Bennett Race Cars, Randall’s Racing and Machine, Hudgins Tires, AED, Old River Cabinets, Engine Works, VP Racing Fuels and Cole Real Estate.
