Edelbrock E-Force Superchargers Continue To Win At The Track
TORRANCE, CA (February 4, 2016) – Edelbrock would like to congratulate Michele Abbate and
Kent Nine for their victories this past weekend. Both competitors depend on an Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger system to give them the competitive edge they need to reach the winners circle.
Michele Abbate started the weekend off by winning the 2016 SCCA US Majors Tour Western Conference season opener at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Michele and her team, GRR Racing, battled through some technical difficulties during practice but qualified 2nd in the STU field with a lap time of 1:52.394 on Saturday. This was Michele’s first race in her newly Edelbrock
E-Force supercharged equipped Scion FR-S. Michele stayed ahead of the field with consistent lap times across the 25-minute race with a full field. Sunday's race was a downpour at the Speedway, while battling heavy rain conditions she finished the race with a 2nd place podium finish. Michele is
the 2015 STU Champion and the recipient of the 2015 Lindley Bothwell So Pac/Cal Club Driver of
the Year Award.
Kent Nine finished the weekend by taking the victory in the Roush Performance Super Stang class at the 17th Annual Nitto NMRA All Ford World Finals in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Kent picked up right where he left off last season as the reigning 2015 NMRA Super Stang champion and is continuing to dominate by taking the win in the season opener. This weekends class started out with a 23 car field and proved to be very competitive class again. Kent drives a 2006 Ford Mustang GT equipped with a Brenspeed Stage 2 Edelbrock E-Force supercharger package.
“This past weekend was a very exciting time for E-Force brand. Both Michele and Kent have proven that the Edelbrock E-Force supercharger has what it takes to win races! Michele’s hard work and dedication has brought Edelbrock it’s first E-Force road course win, while Kent continues to dominate his class at the drag strip,” states Eric Blakely, Edelbrock Director of Advertising.
