Compressor of the PDRA.
“The Kaeser Compressors team are no strangers to drag
racing, but we’re thrilled to welcome them to the PDRA as
an event title sponsor and the Official Air Compressor of
the series,” said Will Smith, marketing director, PDRA.
“Kaeser Compressors has been on the side of Jeff Brooks’
Henry J Top Sportsman car for many years. We’re proud that
Michael Camber [Kaeser Compressors Marketing Services
Manager] and the Kaeser Compressors group chose to expand
their involvement in drag racing through the PDRA.”
Based in Fredericksburg, Va., Kaeser Compressors goes to
market through a nationwide network of exclusive branches
and distributors, each with factory-trained sales and
service people. Kaeser’s complete line of compressed air

and vacuum packages. Kaeser also provides an unrivaled
range of air treatment and other system components

Kaeser Compressors has had a 30-year relationship with Top
Sportsman team JEB Four Racing. The team increased their
participation in PDRA this year.
“Jeff Brooks at JEB Four schooled us on PDRA and got us
excited about it,” Camber said. “We decided to support
this growing series, which is based in our Virginia
community. Also, we have a number of pro race shops as
customers and this is a chance to show our appreciation to
this market.”
The Kaeser Compressors Mid-Atlantic Showdown presented by
Classic Graphix is the second stop on the eight-race road
to the 2024 Red Line Oil PDRA Drag Racing Series world
championships. Kaeser’s home track, Virginia Motorsports
Park in Dinwiddie, Va., will play host to the event. The
race will feature a stacked lineup including Pro Nitrous,
Pro Boost, Extreme Pro Stock, Top Sportsman, Top Dragster,
and more.
As the sponsor of JEB Four Racing, Kaeser will have a
prominent visual presence at the Mid-Atlantic Showdown and
three more PDRA events this season.
“You can’t miss us in the pits or on the track! If fans or
other teams want information about our compressors for
their businesses or race shops, we’ll have information on
hand,” Camber noted.
That prominent visual presence includes Brooks’ brand-new
Kaeser Compressors 1951 Henry J Top Sportsman car. Built
by Jerry Bickel Race Cars and powered by nitrous-fed,
Sonny’s Racing Engines powerplant, the Henry J is a
can’t-miss hot rod.
“We are proud to be the official compressor for the 2024
season and to present the Mid Atlantic Showdown at
Virginia Motorsports Park,” Camber said. “On top of that,
Kaeser and JEB Four Racing built a brand-new car for the
2024 racing season and we are eager to see fan reaction to
it.”
