VP RACING HAS LCHR TRACTION COMPOUND READY TO SHIP

■ VP Racing Fuels announced today that they are not experiencing shortages of traction compounds due to the global supply chain crisis and have ample inventory ready to ship . Tracks can order VP ’ s new LCHR traction compound or its industry-leading LC7 today by calling VP ’ s regional offices at the numbers listed below in this release .
“ As the industry leader in race fuel and traction compounds , VP maintains the largest inventory in the world , ready to ship ,” said Bruce Hendel , Senior Vice President of Global Sales for VP Racing . “ Our traction compounds are always in big demand , and our R & D department has worked around the clock to ensure we have plenty in stock , despite the global component shortage . Our chief chemist developed LCHR , a high-resin track prep that delivers the same application and performance level as our popular LC7 , expanding our track prep options , and they are all ready to ship .”
Experiencing shortages earlier this year , VP applied its chemical expertise , working to develop a new , proprietary formula that doesn ’ t rely on the components that are causing the shortages . With their new LCHR formula , VP now has a sustainable inventory and a reliable way to prevent any shortages in the future .
A global shortage of a critical chemical ingredient and related shipping issues are reported to have forced the cancellation of a number of drag races and tracks going dark . Several industry publications have reported on the crisis hitting drag racing tracks around the globe . However , tracks and race teams can be assured that VP Racing is not experiencing shortages and can ship our LCHR traction compounds immediately .
“ We have enough LCHR and LC7 to keep tracks running , welcome new track customers , and will fulfill orders as quickly as possible ,” added Hendel .
