Justice for Donnie
When we hear about people ignoring a crime affecting their neighbors, we like to think we would have stood up for what is right.  Donnie Bachman was a man who saw crimes being committed in his neighborhood and tried to prevent them.
 
However, his good deeds ended up costing Donnie his life.  His friends and family have rallied to keep his memory alive and to bring attention to victims of violent crimes by engaging in his favorite hobby -restoring and racing classic cars.
 
His friend, Billy Feist, will be racing Donnie's 1986 Corvette in the Super Touring Over class.  Billy called us about purchasing a transmission but when we learned this was for Donnie's car, we knew SST needed to get involved. 
 
Because the car will be racing in the Super Touring Over class in road races, hill climbs and shifting at very high RPMs, we wanted to set Billy up with the Tremec Magnum 6-Speed with our newly designed shifter tower mechanism.  This will provide a better fit in the transmission tunnel and the shortest/fastest throw available.

Attention Pro-Touring and Racing Aficionados
We've sponsored several racecars over the last few months and we wanted a place to keep track of their cars and how they're performing.  We also want you to take the opportunity to visit them if they come near your town to see their cars and talk with them about our products, so we'll have them listed in our upcoming shows as well.  We'll keep the latest news on our facebook page and on our new "Racing" section of our website.
