The Battle of the Imports announced today that a formal partnership has been signed with Clutch Masters for the 2008 season. "We are excited about this opportunity to partner together with Clutch Masters," commented Frank Choi, National Event Director. "Clutch Masters commitment to sport compact drag racing is clearly evident by their support for the series."

Clutch Masters has announced that in 2008 it will offer a strong contingency program with up to $31,500.00 in total contingency payouts to a wide range of racers using Clutch Masters products and displaying decals.

"This contingency program is just one of the many ways in which Clutch Masters supports the sport. Over the years we've helped hundreds of competitors with their racing efforts, and Clutch Masters will continue to do so for years to come," commented Travis Booher, Marketing Manager, Clutch Masters. "This year, Clutch Masters is celebrating its 32nd anniversary as a leader in the aftermarket Clutch and Flywheel market, and continues to provide a complete line of innovative products for virtually all Makes and Models."

Clutch Masters clutch systems are unique in the industry, using Hi-Leverage tm technology in its pressure plates, which significantly increases clamping force with no unnecessary increase in pedal pressure. Discs are designed either with reduced Marcel or a solid hub design to take advantage of its Hi-Leverage tm pressure plate. The combination of these cutting edge technologies creates the finest clutch system on the market.

Additionally, Clutch Masters, with over 30 years in the industry, has researched hundreds of friction materials and uses only the best materials available for each intended application. By combining the optimum clamping force with the finest friction materials - each with their own unique coefficient of friction - Clutch Masters has developed a line of clutches that provide ultimate performance in virtually any severe environment.

Clutch Masters is a family owned company, which began in 1976 as a general automotive and truck clutch rebuilding company. Through the years Clutch Masters has evolved into one of the top aftermarket performance Clutch and Flywheel companies in the country and has expanded to supplying distributors worldwide.
