The Hall of Fame could not exist to celebrate Drag Racing’s history and achievements without the support of our sponsors, and we are delighted to welcome new essential contributors.
Steve Ashdown’s name is familiar to all Drag Racing enthusiasts, and the Undertaker Funny Car and Ashdown Bulk Haulage are together offering their support. Ashdown Bulk Haulage provides emergency tankering for the water utilities industry, mainly in the south-east but, when required, throughout the country. The company also carries out CCTV work checking for, and jetting, blockages, while storm tank cleans, digester cleans and cesspit cleans are just some of its daily routines.
The Hall of Fame is indebted to Pete Dodd for introducing two more sponsors.
