PROLONG POMONA, Calif, Wed, 20 Apr 2011 John Holmes Buggy.JPGJohn Holmes Buggy on Track.JPGProlong(r) Super Lubricants announces its sponsorship of pro-buggy class racer John Holmes, the 2009-2010 Glen Helen Pro-Buggy champion and Baja 1000 champion. Holmes drives a single seat racer engineering chassis with a Toyota 150cc DOHC 200 HP+ FAT performance racing engine that is powered through a Fortin four-speed transmission, painted with the Prolong colors and logo.

“We are excited to sponsor Holmes after two successful seasons, and look forward to being a part of this next step in his racing career,” said Jeff Victer, Director of Sales - Global, Prolong. A Riverside, California resident, Holmes is a veteran behind the wheel with more than 29 years of racing experience and thousands of laps at dozens of race tracks during the course of his driving career. Holmes remembers seeing other racers use Prolong products, which led him to try them out on his own vehicles. “I started using Prolong Engine Treatment for everything engine related as well as my buggy’s power steering.,” Holmes said. “I also use their grease for CVs and wheel bearings, as well as the spray lubricant on everything from dirt bike chains to squeaky motor home doors. The products speak for themselves and Prolong is a great sponsor. In addition to the company’s support, the high performance benefits afforded by the Prolong line of products give me a valuable edge in the racing environment.” It is evident that Holmes has a passion for racing, but his family and friends are a great support system. “My 12 year old daughter is one of the reasons I keep racing, she loves to come to the races and watch me compete,” said Holmes. Even in his off-time, Holmes enjoys racing quads and dirt bikes and spending quality time with his family.
