CLEAN SWEEP WEEK – USA HIGH END RACING

In an unprecedented weekend, teams using Mintex F compounds took first positions in three top USA race series. Mintex F pads continue to grow in popularity as more teams, now in Europe as well as USA , discover they are the best in the world.

Note For commercial reasons we cannot name drivers in NASCAR nor Trans Am.

NASCAR WINSTON CUP

Mintex was fitted by 45% of the Winston Cup teams running the tough Sonoma , California Road Course this last weekend. In addition to having the winner, Mintex is also driven by the Standings leader who has been leading the rankings from the outset of the season. NASCAR Teams drive on either F1 or F2 Series materials made by TMD Friction in Dublin , Virginia .

TRANS AM

Also at Sonoma , Mintex took first position in the Trans Am Race. The driver running on F2 compound is also the Standings leader after 5 rounds.

CART WITH “F6”

Mintex user, Adrian Fernandez, had his first win of the season at the Road Race Track of Portland Oregon. Fernandez raced on the new F6, medium torque compound and out braked the early leader on the long straight to go on and win the race and give F6 a dream start in only it’s second outing. Quote from Adrian , “the brakes were awesome”. F6 compound is made by TMD Friction Inc in Virginia and will shortly be available in a range of part numbers.
