CALVERT RACING PARTNERS WITH NEW SCEDA CATEGORY
Fontana, Calif. - January 5, 2010 The Southern
California Drag Racing Series (SCEDA) is pleased to announce a
marketing partnership with
Calvert Racing Suspensions for the 2010 racing season. The SCEDA
Series Stock - Super Stock Combo class will now be known as the
Calvert Racing Suspension Stock – Super Stock Combo class effective
at the series first event this year to be held at Auto Club Dragway
in Fontana, Calif., January 23rd and 24th.
SCEDA held an introductory running for Stock and
Super Stock as one class at the series final event in 2009 to see if
it would fit in with their current bracket racing format. The
turnout was overwhelming, as nearly double the expected entries
showed up to Fontana. Due to the extreme interest, SCEDA decided to
make the class a permanent addition in 2010. Calvert Racing
Suspensions noticed the excitement this new category created and
decided to become the title rights sponsor.

“With the tremendous growth that we have experienced
here at Calvert Racing and the amount of our customers that
participate in drag racing it seemed like a perfect fit for us to
participate in the SCEDA Series,” noted John Calvert. “We try to
help all of our customers and be there for them so this is just
another way that we at Calvert Racing can keep close to our
customers.”

SCEDA event, using Cal-Tracs Traction Bars and displaying a Calvert
