Allen Berg Racing School at Mission Raceway
by nitrolube on Aug.17, 2009, under Racing News
NitroLube would like to congratulate the Allen Berg Racing School on a very successful week at Mission Raceway, Mission B.C.
What a professional team operation. The excellent classroom information and the practical road racing training is second to none. It was a delightful experience for all the participants including future Asia circuit driver Justin Kao, who took advantage of the school to hone his skills while it was here in British Columbia this week.
There was a trace of rain but the weather co-operated for most of the week. All participants enjoyed themselves with some exhilarating speeds and a great deal of fun and excitement.
Hopefully in the near future the Allen Berg Racing School will consider operating another branch of their excellent school in British Columbia.

NitroLube would like to congratulate Tyson Wells and his Crew Chief Norm Wilson of FarFromHuggin Racing Team on Three successful weekends in a row as first place in DoorSlammer Class winners in Mission and Ashcroft.
The 1965 – 950HP VW Bug, street legal (barely!), is one of the fastest V8 bugs in Canada, setting a time of 8.63 at 250Km per hour in a Quarter Mile Drag Strip. If it had wings it would fly… it even needs a parachute to slow it down.
Tyson commented,
“We have one of the fastest V8 Bugs in Canada and we like the fact that NitroLube Lubricants are helping us make these record breaking runs.”
We enjoyed participating in the 2007 “PINKS ALL OUT” where we were picked as one of the 32 finalist of the 400 cars entered. We are proud to be a Canadian engine building shop that contributes in doing our part for the racing industry at www.fortins.com
