Parma Heights, Ohio (March 9, 2010) – Mike Tritle is a racer. He’s a pretty good sportsman racer in the National Muscle Car Association (NMCA) and True Street series, in the Nostalgia Muscle Car and Open Comp classes. Mike Tritle is a well-known performance aftermarket technical sales specialist from his career at AutoMeter and other employers. Mike Tritle is also one who believes you back up your words with commitment. At the recently concluded Winner’s Circle Warehouse Race & Performance Show at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois, Mike made a commitment to Traci Hrudka, Chairman of the Quarter Mile Entertainment Foundation to contribute 25 percent of his 2010 season’s GROSS winnings to PROJECT 1320. He said, “PROJECT 1320 targets something very dear to me, and that is the preservation of the history of drag racing and the performance aftermarket. The sport and the industry have provided me with a job, given me enjoyment over the years, and provided me with a large group of treasured friends and acquaintances. I feel PROJECT 1320 is necessary to protect our heritage, and I understand the need to get to the legends and heroes of the sport and the industry to tell our story before these irreplaceable voices are silenced. “I am not only willing to support this effort with a share of my winnings, but I am throwing down my driving gloves as a challenge to every drag racer in the U.S. and Canada to do the same thing! I am not only including the purse winnings, but also my contingency awards.” Traci Hrudka said, “Speaking for the Board of the Foundation, we are stunned and so appreciative of Mike’s more than generous offer! For Mike, and others who participate in his challenge, there is an added benefit of a tax deductable contribution.” Additional information about the PROJECT 1320 Racer’s Challenge program will be available shortly.
