VP Racing Introduces Contingency Program For IHRA

SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 26, 2005) VP Racing Fuels announced today the introduction of a contingency program for competitors in the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) series. The program will be administered independent of IHRA according to Bruce Hendel, Global Sales Manager for VP.

"VP has been a major and consistent supporter of drag racers since it started manufacturing racing fuel in 1975, through contingency programs and other sponsorships," said Hendel. "With this new program, we want to reward the loyalty of those racers who have continued to use VP fuels and ensure all IHRA racers have the opportunity to use the best fuel available to give them the best chance to compete."

"Because IHRA has an exclusive agreement with its Official Fuel sponsor, it precludes us from working directly with IHRA to administer this program," continued Hendel. "So we'll manage it ourselves, and ask racers simply to provide the appropriate documentation to us." Contingency postings include the following:

Winner Runner Up

Top Fuel $500 $100

Pro Mod $500 $100

Funny Car $500 $100

TD $300 $100

SS $300 $100

STK $300 $100

QR $300 $100

SR $300 $100

HR $300 $100

TSTK $300 $100

ET $100 $ 50

VP's program will be effective at the upcoming ACDelco Canadian Nationals in Cayuga, Ontario. Information regarding fuel for this race can be obtained by calling VP's office in Toronto, Ontario at 905.478.FUEL (3835). For subsequent races, racers can contact the appropriate VP regional warehouse, each of which is listed on its website at vpracingfuels.com.

To claim their award, racers should provide a photo of their vehicle in the Winner's Circle, clearing showing VP logo decals affixed to their vehicle. They should also provide proof of purchase of VP fuel that is legal for use in their IHRA class, in the following quantities:

- 5 gallons per race

- 30 gallons purchased within the past 60 days prior to the date on which the award is claimed.

- 54 gallons purchased within the past 120 days prior to the date on which the award is claimed.

The required documentation should be mailed to:

VP Racing Fuels
Contingency Administration
PO Box 47878
San Antonio, TX 78265

Racers currently sponsored by VP are not eligible for contingency payments.
