“We have seen our relationship grow with Revchem over the past two years. Their sponsorship has helped the Revchem brand become recognized as the composite distributor of choice in the NHRA. We are their primary promotional tool,” said Chad Head, Kalitta Motorsports general manager. “We have introduced them to teams and sponsors with the understanding that anyone can utilize their materials in any sport or industry. In addition, their relationship and input with our fab shop have been a huge plus to our technical development.”

Revchem has expanded its customer base with Kalitta Motorsports’ other partners through the twice-a-year B2B events. An example of this cross-over led to their involvement both, on the product and materials sides, with the development and design of the new Toyota GR Supra Funny Car body. They have also helped educate and provide products to the Kalitta Motorsports fabrication department, making the team’s racecars lighter and stronger.

“We are all very excited to begin our third year supporting Kalitta Motorsports. Their commitment to teamwork and winning is truly an inspiration for all involved,” said Pete Pendleton, President of Revchem Composites. “The hospitality and professionalism of Kalitta Motorsports has offered us opportunities to invite our customers to the races. These shared experiences have strengthened our relationships by providing a rare chance to be submerged inside the hive of a winning race team. Our involvement with Kalitta has opened doors for us not only within the NHRA but many other motorsports divisions. As a result, the Revchem Composites brand is recognized nationally and growing with every race.”

Kalitta Motorsports and Revchem Composites will continue to educate fans on the composite’s products integrated into these 330 miles per hour race cars, enhancing performance and safety as the season unfolds. Revchem brings a wealth of knowledge to the NHRA from a diverse customer base and solutions and processes found in the aerospace and watersports industries.

From all of us at Revchem Composites, we thank you for your business, loyalty, and support in 2021. We look forward to working with you more in 2022 and beyond!

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.
