Rio Vista, CA – December 23, 2010…The Golden State King of the West Sprint Car Series is pleased to announce a partnership with Auto Meter Products Inc. to become a contingency sponsor for the much anticipated 2011 racing season.
Since 1957 Auto Meter has been driven to provide performance enthusiasts with the information they need to win, revolutionizing the way that racers and vehicle builders think about instrumentation and vehicle electronics for more than 50 years.
Auto Meter has also redesigned their Ultra-Nite gauges to stand up against the rigors and vibration of dirt track and open wheel racing.
Upwards of $6,000 worth of race night contingency giveaways and year-end banquet giveaways will be awarded to drivers during the season from Auto Meter.
“It’s great to have the support of an industry leader such as Auto Meter involved with the Golden State King of the West Sprint Car Series,” said series operations manager George Hague. “We’re excited about our contingency program for the coming year and having it grow more and more before the season starts.”
