YPSILANTI, Mich. (March. 02, 2023) — After three seasons of a successful relationship and a contract extension, Revchem Composites and Kalitta Motorsports will begin their fourth season of partnership when the 2023 NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series begins at the historic NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla. March 17-19, 2023. Revchem will focus on expanding its brand and business relationships through Kalitta Motorsports. Its increased branding is prominently displayed across all three Kalitta Motorsports entries driven by Doug Kalitta, Shawn Langdon, and J.R. Todd.
“We are very excited to begin our fourth season supporting Kalitta Motorsports and are confident this will be a winning year for both Kalitta Motorsports and Revchem Composites! The commitment to teamwork within Kalitta Motorsports is truly an inspiration,” said Pete Pendleton, President of Revchem Composites. “The Kalitta Motorsports VIP experience is second to none, and we have brought our staff, customers, and vendor partners together in the hospitality tent to see first-hand what it takes to make a great race team! The time spent with our customers and vendor partners has helped build lasting friendships that we cherish.”
Revchem will continue to entertain both existing clients and potential customers in the Kalitta Motorsports VIP hospitality area, which travels the entire 21-race NHRA series throughout the United States.
“Revchem brings a wealth of knowledge to NHRA from a diverse customer base that includes aerospace and watersports, and it is an integral Kalitta Motorsports partner,” Kalitta Motorsports general manager Chad Head said. “Revchem’s contributions to developing our new Toyota GR Supra Funny Car body and those across all our teams are vital to our race team’s success. Revchem’s products make our Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars lighter and stronger, and that’s a major contribution.
“From a branding perspective, we want to generate awareness of Revchem Composite’s products – we’re proud to promote their brand. With our extension, Kalitta Motorsports will continue to advocate for Revchem as we move into and beyond the 2023 NHRA season.”
While its team contributions are a priority, perhaps even more important is reaching new Revchem customers through the Kalitta Motorsports annual Business to Business meetings. Through these events, Revchem interacts with other Kalitta Motorsports corporate partners in an ongoing effort to create mutually beneficial business relationships. Revchem’s involvement in designing the new Toyota GR Supra Funny Car body is a perfect example of this effort.
Collaborating with Kalitta Motorsports and the Toyota Gazoo Racing teams on the Supra Funny Car body has been a tremendous opportunity for us to share our product knowledge and collectively apply advanced composites application techniques traditionally only used in the Aerospace industry,” said Dennis Gallegos, General

Revchem is happy to continue our sponsorship with the SR-1 Project! Looking forward to watching this project develop. Many of you may remember the SR-1 tail section on display in our booth at the CAMX show in Long Beach 2019.
The SR-1 Project builds on the legacy of legendary record setters in the FAI c-1a/0 class. This is the lightest record class: aircraft must weight less than 661lbs at takeoff, including pilot and fuel. With recent advancements in powerplants and lightweight components, our goal is to push the current record of 223mph to 275+mph. For regular updates, check us out at facebook.com/TheSR1Project.
History of the C-1a/0 class
The FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) is the governing body that certifies aviation records. To make records meaningful, the FAI categorizes propeller-driven aircraft, gliders, balloons, etc. separately, and each category is further organized by weight (it makes no sense to compare a P-51 with an ultralight even if both are prop-driven airplanes). For C-1a/0, the C indicates a land plane (vs. a sea plane), -1 indicates power is provided by a reciprocating engine, and a/0 is the takeoff weight of the aircraft, in this case <300kg (661lbs). Although there are hundreds of record types recognized by FAI, the two most prestigious in each class are generally recognized as the 3km Absolute speed and Time to climb 3000 meters.
