DynoMax to Host Spec Class Q&A Session with Ultra4 Racing’s Dave Cole at 2013 SEMA Show

Las Vegas, Nov. 5, 2013 – The DynoMax^® Performance Exhaust brand – a popular choice in off-road racing – has announced the official sponsorship of the new “Spec” class in Ultra4 Racing. The Ultra4 Racing “Spec” Class will be described in detail during a special question and answer session in the DynoMax Performance Exhaust booth (Central Hall, Booth No. 25131) at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6, at the 2013 SEMA Show. The booth also will debut the first complete Spec class vehicle, built by Ultra4 Racing.

“This is a great addition to King of the Hammers and Ultra4 Racing. We’re excited to be involved in this class and continue our participation as the official exhaust brand of the entire series,” said Chris Gauss, sales and marketing manager, performance brands, Tenneco. As “The Official Performance Exhaust of the King of the Hammers,” DynoMax Performance Exhaust has powered nearly every King of the Hammers champion across the finish line, including Shannon Campbell, a popular two-time King of the Hammers winner and spokesperson for DynoMax.

The new Spec class of Ultra4 Racing will feature identical off-road vehicles. Drivers and/or racing teams can rent the vehicle for a single race or entire Ultra4 series. The new Spec class will appear for the first time in the upcoming 2014 King of the Hammers race this February in Johnson Valley, Calif.

King of the Hammers is one of the toughest, one-day off-road races in the world. This unique racing format combines high-speed desert racing, requiring top-quality vehicle components, and slower, highly technical rock crawling, requiring a high degree of skill.
