										| AC 
										Delco Signs Naming Rights Partnership 
										with Sydney Dragway | 
									
										|  | 
									
										| Aftermarket 
										automotive industry leader ADDelco has 
										today announced an agreement to secure 
										the naming rights to the East Coast 
										Thunder to be held at Sydney Dragway in 
										November. | 
									
										|  | 
									
										| The single year 
										agreement demonstrates a significant and 
										increasing commitment to drag racing, 
										after last season partnership with 
										Fabietti Racing and their driver Mark 
										Belleri to win last season's 400 Pro 
										Slammer title. | 
									
										|  | 
									
										| After the 
										success enjoyed 
										by ACDelco in the first year of 
										their partnership with Fabietti Racing, 
										taking on the naming rights to one of 
										the most prestigious events on the 
										Australian Drag racing calendar was a 
										natural progression. | 
									
										|  | 
									
										| Paul Rietveld 
										from ACDelco was enthusiastic about the 
										new partnership, saying today "the 
										iconic ACDelco brand has built a solid 
										reputation over the last 100 years 
										through its competitively priced quality 
										products, largely amongst trade 
										customers. Partnering with Sydney 
										Dragway provides ACDelco with a great 
										opportunity to grow its brand awareness 
										with the enthusiastic race fans through 
										our support of such an iconic event". | 
									
										|  | 
									
										| Sydney Dragway 
										General Manager Peter Beaumont was 
										glowing in his praise of ACDelco "to be 
										able to partner such an iconic event as 
										the East Coast Thunder with an industry 
										leading brand like ACDelco is truly a 
										pleasure. The range and quality of the 
										products offered by ACDelco is rivaled 
										only by the quality of the racing that 
										we are expecting to see at the ACDelco 
										East Coast Thunder!". | 
									
										|  | 
									
										| The ACDelco 
										East Coast Thunder is the second round 
										of the 2017/18 400 Thunder Professional 
										Drag Racing Series, and will be the 
										first opportunity fans have to see Top 
										Fuel on the ease coast this season. It 
										is also the first time this season that 
										all 400 Thunder Professional and 
										Sportsman series categories will be at 
										attendance at a single event this 
										season. |
