MAHLE Motorsport to Sponsor Southeast Gassers Association

MAHLE Motorsport will sponsor all classes of Southeast Gassers Association (SEGA) racing for 2022, the company announced. As part of the sponsorship, MAHLE Motorsport will support all six race classes – A/Gas, B/Gas, C/Gas and SEGA Super Stock, H/Gas and A/FX. SEGA’s two exhibition classes are H/Gas and A/FX.

With grassroots participation limited to the look of a 1967 era drag car, rules are carefully constructed to ensure that the body, wheels/tires, chassis/suspension and engine compartment are in line with what was prevalent during this era of drag racing, so no automatic transmissions are allowed, the series said.

SEGA will host 11 events in 2022. The season starts March 11 at the Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, Georgia, and concludes the weekend of Nov. 4 at the Shady Side Dragway in Shelby, North Carolina.

“Anyone that has had the opportunity to attend a SEGA event walks away with a smile on their face. These are just fun events for the entire family where mostly stock vehicles compete,” said MAHLE Motorsport Marketing Manager, Joe Maylish. “The rules keep it authentic to the era – no special fuels or additives, old school tachs and gear jamming old school transmissions – even the body styles are true to gasser racing of the sixties. MAHLE Motorsport is excited to become a full sponsor and we look forward to an exciting season of wheels-up racing.”
