Houston, TX – The 2014 drag racing season has come quickly for the Randy Meyer Racing Team after preparing not one but two Top Alcohol Dragsters in the off-season. Team owner Randy Meyer will debut his second A/Fuel Dragster, driven by Chase Copeland, at the NHRA Showdown at Sundown held March 7-9th at Royal Purple Raceway in Houston, Texas, for the Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Central Region Event.

At this event last year, Meyer struggled to get his car down the track due to cold temperatures. Returning to this race is showing similar patterns to last year’s race as the scheduled testing session held before the race has been postponed because of the rainy weather. The race is planned to continue this weekend, although there is a chance of rain on Saturday, which may cause the team to lose a much needed qualifying session.

“I am excited to try out our new changes for 2014,” said Meyer. “We plan to put them to the test this weekend and see how well it works out. We will try to get our second car running and bring it up to par and get Chase, our new driver for the second car, familiar with our program.”

Friday hosts the first qualifying session for Top Alcohol Dragster at 4:00 p.m., and the second session will be on Saturday. Elimination rounds start Sunday at noon. Make sure to check our Facebook Page (/RandyMeyerRacing) for immediate track updates and results.

Joining the Randy Meyer Racing Team this year will be Quik-Latch Products, LLC, based out of Plano, Texas. Quik-Latch Products, LLC, offers innovative hood pins and multi-purpose push button quick release fasteners for automotive, marine, and industrial use.

“We are excited to try out these new products as they will help our turnaround speed,” claimed Meyer. “We will be able to take the body off more quickly and easily without tools required, which is important when there isn’t a lot of time between rounds, especially on race day.”

Rob Camp, President of Quick-Latch Products,LLC, added, “Quik-Latch Products is extremely excited to have joined forces with Randy Meyer Racing to promote and display the unique latches.”
