We have a number of drivers that we support involved with the series already and we hope to increase that number in the months to come. Getting involved with the series was just a logical move for us and we hope to see more racers making the switch to JRi Shocks as a result.”
The first round of contingency prizes awarded by JRi shocks will be determined from the result of The Foametix Trans Am 100 at Sebring International Raceway on March 1, 2015.
