Pomona, Ca -- Chris Demke, driver of the 801 Racing sponsored dragster, capped off a team effort in winning the O'Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Winternationals this past weekend. Demke not only won the trophy, but in the final round, he ran the quickest elapsed time of the race with a stout 5.28 @ 270 mph.
"It was a great win, and having the guys from 801 Racing there made it even better," said Demke. "I am very happy to be continuing our relationship with 801 Racing and to be running the Revvolution Oil with CleanBoost Technology."
Demke's dragster was not the only car there running the Revvolution Oil this past weekend. Half of the cars in competition in the Alcohol Dragster class had 801 Racing's distinct red oil running through their engines. The company flagship was in attendance with the Cody Perkins entry. Fire Captain Johnny Ahten was blazing down the track, as well as Joey Severance. Two new cars were affixed with 801 Racing stickers in Garrett Bateman and Brooks Brown. In Top Alcohol Funny Car, Steve Gasparrelli was flying the colors. Moving up about 3000 horse power, John Lindsay's Nitro Funny Car with Team Driver James Day provided a strong testament to the engine saving properties of Revvolution Oil with CleanBoost Technology.
With all these cars running 801 Racing Oil, it was only fitting to have representation from the home office in Utah. John Hill and Tommy Parish made the trip down to Pomona to meet with the various teams, and take photos and shoot videos. Mostly they spread the word about 801 Racing's line of Fuel Treatments, Car Care Products, as well as answer technical questions about the Revvolution Oil.
"We are proud to be associated with so many teams that value the principle of family," said John Hill. "We felt right at home and we were so excited to be here for Chris Demke's big Winternationals win."
For many of the west coast racers, the regional races are next up February 23-24 in Phoenix, AZ. The teams are busy preparing for that race. 801 Racing's Revvolution Oil with CleanBoost Technology has made the drag racing community aware that no trophy is safe. Just ask 2012 Winternationals Champ Chris Demke.

If it were up to us, cars wouldn't even have brakes, just two gas pedals. It's this never-ending need for speed that drives everything we do. We spend countless hours in the lab and lying awake at night plotting and planning how to get more speed by any means possible. After decades of research and innovation, we've developed a complete line of performance and car care products designed to ensure that your ride lives up to its potential on the street and on the track. We know what you want. We got what you need. We are 801 Racing. For more information on 801 racing, please visit: http://www.801racing.com/
