NEWS RELEASE 2019

Women in Sports

OSBORN / TEAM F@ST

Team F@ST press release: Osborn & Andie Rawlings joining forces for 2019

Osborn is a global leader in surface treatment and finishing solutions with more than 10,000 standard products sold in more than 120 countries.  Osborn is now a part of the Andie Rawlings Team F@ST family for 2019.  The Osborn and Andie Rawlings NHRA Pro Stock motorcycle partnership will kick off in Atlanta May 3-5 then accelerate off to Chicago May 31—June 2, Indy August 30- Sept 2, Charlotte October 11-13 and Dallas October 18-20.

Team F@ST is honored because Osborn is the global leader that knows what it takes to support their customers because they offer local support throughout the world.  So, no matter where their customers are located, they will always have access to Osborn application expertise and the industry’s best metal finishing solutions.

“We met Osborn in Indy last year.  Our engine had blown up during qualifying and we were discussing building an engine stand to properly transport our spare engine moving forward.  During our offseason, Osborn and others helped Team F@ST with our engine stand. You can check out the video OSBORN / F@ST engine stand. Team F@ST was so excited when we got the call that Osborn wanted to continue to support the team and will be a major partner of our program for five NHRA events.” – Andie Rawlings

“Osborn is thrilled to be a part of Team F@ST in 2019. The fans of drag racing are the same hard-working professionals using our products on a daily basis and we couldn’t be more proud to showcase our brand at five races with Team F@ST.” -  Justin Sieb, Product Manager

One of the best things about the Team F@ST family is that our partners actively interact with the race program.  They share their individual skills, experience, information and resources.  George Babor of BPM RACING ENGINES, who is also part of the Team F@ST 2019 program, has been using OSBORN products for all their metal working needs! “Great products from great people 👍🏼 Support the people that support us and our sport 🏁 Finish First with Osborn!” – George Babor

To have this partnership from Osborn whose products and customer service are known around the world is just beyond exciting and Team F@ST is eager to get racing with this amazing company by our side.

Finish First with Osborn

You can’t do it alone!

Racing Stuff

Teamwork is key to any successful program.

You have to make sure to have the right people in place and trust them to support you. No one person can do it alone, you have to surround yourself with people that have the same goal in mind and want the TEAM to succeed.

Don’t be bull headed and let your team give it to you straight even if it’s not pleasant to hear. If you have people that believe in you then they are saying it for the team’s benefit not because of some kind of personal power trip.

It’s a lot of work during race season but be warned because the off season is just as much work. Some days you are on phones for hours, answering emails, replying to texts and creating proposals because this is all part of running in the big show. Your head will sometimes feel like it weights 400 lbs and that you have just ran a marathon but you have to get this stuff done too.

When you reach out to a sponsor and get a “NO” don’t get discouraged, trash talk or even give up on them. It just might not be the right fit for them at that time. Later you can come back and it might then be the right time.

Team F@ST prefers the word partnership because that is really what it is here with us. It’s a family and we take care of family!

There will be speed bumps and you’ll have to make changes along the way. Just keep chugging along because when it does come together it’s feel awesome!

Then that’s when the real work begins but that’s for another post. 🙂 LOL

We love this stuff NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle rocks 2019!!!

Dave Schultz Legend

Racing Stuff

The Pro Stock Motorcycle first points championship season was the 1987 NHRA season the Champion was Dave Schultz

 

Dave Schultz Passed away Feb 11 2001 after battle colon Cancer at the age of 52. Mr. Schultz, who received major multi-year sponsorship from Sunoco, was one of the premiere Pro Stock motorcycle racers in the world.

Schultz was the the most successful rider in both NHRA and AMA/Prostar history. His NHRA scorecard includes 45 event wins and 6 championships (1987-88, 1991, 1993-94, 1996).

In AMA/Prostar competition, Schultz earned 2 championships (1991, 1994) and 21 national event titles.

He was not done and still holds the record for most consecutive NHRA event wins in a row at 8 set in 1994. 

In addition, Schultz recorded 7 IDBA championships and is the only racer to score motorcycle drag racing’s “Triple Crown” – simultaneous championships in NHRA, AMA/Prostar and IDBA –  which he accomplished in 1991 and 1994.

It is because of legends like Dave Schultz that Team F@ST is honored to compete in NHRA pro-stock Motorcycle drag racing.

Andie Rawlings of Team F@ST has partnerships available so come on board for 2019 and become part of the Team F@ST family. We can go build onto the history this great man brought our sport.
