FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (April 25, 2023) – SP Tools, an
Australian manufacturer of a wide variety of tools and
equipment, is now the Official Tool of the Professional
Drag Racers Association (PDRA), series officials announced
today. Cutting Edge Automotive Solutions, the exclusive
distributor of SP Tools in the United States, is
facilitating the PDRA partnership.
“We’re thrilled to welcome SP Tools to the PDRA family as
we continue to celebrate our 10th season,” said Will
Smith, marketing director, PDRA. “Our racers use
top-of-the-line engines, race cars, parts, and equipment.
They also need the best tools available to put those
components together and keep them running to their
potential. SP Tools offers a range of tools and equipment
that will appeal to our teams.”
SP Tools are available in the U.S. exclusively through
Cutting Edge Automotive Solutions, an Alabama-based
company that specializes in diagnostic tools and
equipment. When the company decided to expand its
offerings to include hand tools, power tools, tool
storage, and automotive specialty tools, its commitment to
customer service excellence guided them to SP Tools. SP
Tools and SP Air are represented by over 40 international
agents in 30 countries.
“We are thrilled to partner with PDRA, keeping with our
ongoing support of motorsports,” said Lee Locklear, CEO,
SP Tools USA. “Though we support many types of racing,
drag racing has always been a passion of mine, and we are
excited to grow our support for the sport by partnering
with PDRA. For us, it is a true win-win. We get to support
drag racing with some of the best people in the business
and, at the same time, gain brand recognition for some of
the best tools on the planet.”
The SP Tools catalog is extensive, featuring hand tools,
tool kits, sockets, power tools, storage solutions,
lighting, and much more.
“SP Tools had a midway display at our season opener, and I
know a lot of the racers and fans who stopped by were
impressed with the range of products they offer, as well
as the quality of the tools,” Smith said. “Our tech team
even received some tools, which they’ll use throughout the
season when they’re conducting tech inspections. SP Tools
is already proving to be a great fit in the PDRA
community.”
Recognizing the need for future mechanics, apprentices,
and technicians, SP Tools also offers a student discount
program, SP Tools USA NEXTECH. The program gives students
the chance to purchase professional quality SP Tools at a
discount. SP Tools offers financing options to enrolled
vocational and technical automotive students.
“PDRA has always offered young racers, crew members,
tuners, and mechanics a place to race, so we’re proud to
partner with a company that also sees value in supporting
the next generation,” Smith said. “From our
ultra-competitive Jr. Dragster racers to the many young
people working in the pits, there are tons of automotive
students in the PDRA ranks that can take advantage of the
NEXTECH program.”
