AHRA JOINS SFI FOUNDATION AS FULL MEMBER

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. (February 18, 2010) - Because
maintaining the safety of drag racing fans and
participants is paramount to the AHRA, the sanctioning
body has joined the SFI Foundation as a full member,
AHRA CEO Troy Moe announced today.

"SFI has proven itself to be an unbiased voice in the
racing world that is completely dedicated to the
safety of all participants, and it's really our
privilege to be a part of the organization and support
their efforts," Moe said.

SFI was founded in 1963 and among other services
produces a wide range of quality assurance
specifications for safety-related motorsport products.
Their safety standards have proven to assist in
reducing accidents and injuries for motorsports
participants.

The Foundation is funded by companies that voluntarily
participate in the specification program along with
financial support from sanctioning member bodies such
as AHRA.

"Our membership allows to certify chassis and helps
provide tests for our tech personnel that will keep
the racing environment safe and fair. I completely
respect what SFI does for our sport as a whole, and am
looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial
relationship," Moe added.

As a full member in the Sanctioning Body Program, AHRA
not only has access to existing SFI specs, but also
can utilize other services such as the development of
new application-specific standards, technical
personnel training and certification, and on-track
incident response training.
