Performance Torque Converters (PTC), specialists in manufacturing and customizing high-performance torque converters, will serve as the presenting sponsor of the Red Line Oil PDRA Drag Racing Series\u2019 Pro 632 class, series officials announced today. The Muscle Shoals, Alabama-based company will also provide customer support at all eight national events on the 2025 PDRA schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to welcome a well-regarded brand like PTC to the PDRA as the new presenting sponsor in Pro 632,\u201d said Will Smith, marketing director, PDRA. \u201cPro 632 is a unique class with some tough competitors and fast cars, and they\u2019ll really benefit from this partnership. PTC is already such a well-known brand, and we\u2019re thrilled that PTC chose PDRA to help them reach even more customers this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in December 1995, PTC is now owned by Dustin Mewbourn, who purchased the company from co-founder Kenny Ford in early 2024. PTC has grown from a small operation to an expanded program with specialists and refined manufacturing processes to serve customers in drag racing, circle track racing, and other demanding motorsports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A racer himself, Mewbourn attended the season-ending Brian Olson Memorial World Finals last fall and quickly realized there was an opportunity for PTC to get involved with the PDRA, which is going into its 12th season of all-eighth-mile drag racing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a close friend and transmission and converter customer, Ed Mclemore, that runs the Pro 632 class and brought this deal to me,\u201d Mewbourn said. \u201cI was very close with Tyler Crossnoe [PDRA Series Director] when he was at Holly Springs and Memphis, so he was very inviting when I told him I wanted to come up and see how they run their races. I must say it was one of the most professionally-run races I\u2019ve seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mewbourn, who also plans to field an entry in the seven-race Super Street class to contend for a PDRA world championship, is looking forward to getting to know the PDRA racer base through his company\u2019s support of the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was up that way, there was not near enough PTC stickers on the cars at the World Finals,\u201d Mewbourn said. \u201cI think once the racers up that way get to know us, we will have more customers in the Northeast. We will set up and have transmissions and converters for sale and on display at all eight races.\u201d<\/p>\n
