  • Ryan Poelman, Todd Jackson and Eduardo Laguna Take Home the Prestigious Oakley Bomb Award at the 2015 Polaris RZR Mint 400 presented by General Tire

    March 27th, 2015 – San Diego, CA – The first Oakley Bomb Award for desert off-road racing was handed out at the 2012 Mint 400.  Since then, Oakley has kept the tradition alive, honoring the Mint 400 racers that clock the fastest lap at the The Great American Off-Road Race™.

    This year, Oakley gave away their coveted Bomb Awards at The 2015 Polaris RZR Mint Mint 400
    presented by General Tire to the driver and co-driver of three classes:

    Fastest Lap in Class 1500
    Fastest Lap in Class 6000, Trophylite
    Fastest Lap in Class Pro UTV Class

    unnamed 3

    Over fifty UTV’s strong rolled up to the start line of the 2015 Mint 400, making them the second largest class in the race.  Numbers alone warranted an Oakley Bomb Award for fastest lap in one of the most competitive classes.  Only nineteen Pro UTV’s finished the race and it was #1962 Ryan Poelman that threw down the fastest lap time of 02:21:13.712 on his second lap.  Poelman earned a third place finish in the class behind Scott Kiger and Pro UTV class winner, Dustin Jones.

    unnamed 2

    A true drivers class, the General Tire Trophylite Race Series was created to provide an affordable alternative to the high cost of racing. Drivers are pitted against each other in identical vehicles that provide the thrill of competitive off-road racing.  Fifteen Trophylite trucks started the race but only eight finished.  Despite having to change a drive shaft on his first lap, #6002 Todd Jackson won the Oakley Bomb award in Class 6000 Trophylite.  Once back on course, Jackson laid down a blistering lap time of 02:20:50.772 on his second lap to earn a coveted award.

    unnamed 4

    The thundering speed and capabilities of Class 1500 make it worthy of an Oakley Bomb Award.  Thirty four of the top open wheeled drivers came fists up to the Mint 400 but only half survived the brutal fight.  Eleventh overall finisher, #1537 Eduardo Laguna, was one of only a few racers to finish a lap of The Mint 400 in under two hours.  “Lalo” did it in just 01:59:52.868 on his second lap, earning mad respect and the final Oakley Bomb award up for grabs at the 2015 Polaris RZR Mint 400 presented by General Tire.

  • GEARWRENCH INTRODUCES LOCKING FLEX HEAD RATCHETS FOR GREATER CONTROL AND IMPROVED ACCESS

    New Tool Joins Extensive Range of GearWrench Ratchets

    SPARKS, MD (March 24, 2015) – GearWrench®, a premier hand tool brand known for tools that deliver speed, strength and access to automotive technicians, today unveiled its new Locking Flex Head Ratchets.

    unnamed (23)

    Built upon the original GearWrench 84-Tooth ratchet design, the new flex head ratchets feature a locking lever mechanism for multiple-angle access. This offers technicians nine lockable positions, allowing a high level of control. The locking mechanism keeps the handle secured in position when the head is angled and a load is applied, so the ratchet does not shift in position during use. The low profile head may also be left unlocked for applications where a range of positions is needed. The longer reach handle provides superior access to fasteners in even the tightest of spaces.
