MFC dragster ready to roar
Sponsored car expected to be force at Castrol Raceway
By MFC Staff
The Maximum Fighting Championship has sped to the top of the mixed martial
arts world and now the MFC is firing up a powerful engine on the racetrack.
Fans who came to MFC 25: Vindication saw first-hand at the doors to the
Northlands Expo Centre the MFC's new venture into auto racing with the
unveiling of the Maximum Fighting Championship-sponsored dragster run by
Ragged Glory Racing. It is a stellar piece of machinery that will be fired
up at Castrol Raceway with owner and crew chief Ken Mix overseeing the
skills of driver of Nadine Mix.
"I think the MFC car is the coolest thing," said Ken Mix, whose crew
includes Lenny Feschuck and Dave Fritz. "We're very happy that Mark came in
and put the Maximum Fighting Championship name on the car. It's definitely
one of the coolest cars out there.
"We're glad a number of the fans got to see the car at MFC 25. There are a
lot of race fans who are also fight fans so it's very exciting for us to
team up with the MFC and make a great combination. It is a fantastic way to
cross-promote and bring each other a lot more fans."
Details on the dragster include a 274-inch Spitzer chassis on a carbon-fibre
body with a 1,360-horsepower engine and 1,200 foot-torque. Though the car
hasn't been completely put through its paces yet, Mix expects a whole lot
out of the MFC-backed beast which will run in the Top Eliminator class. Fans
of the MFC dragster will get a great chance to see it in action at the Rocky
Mountain Nationals, one of the most-prominent events on the IHRA schedule,
plus other major events at Castrol Raceway including the special Hot August
Night.
"I think we'll get pretty close to 200 miles per hour. We're going to shake
the car down after the May long weekend and we'll see what it can do," added
Ken. "We are very excited to be working with the MFC as our company Hyperion
Laser Wellness is also a MFC sponsor.
"We are looking forward to help promote MFC not only at the racetrack but
through our ability to accelerate the healing process of these incredible
athletes. We are confident this will prove to be a winning combination with
a lot of awesome people and great fans. It's going to be a fun ride so come
on out to the track and cheer us on."
