Sponsor of Valerie Thompson, CTEK, Wishes Her Luck for New Land Speed Record Attempt
(PRWEB) July 27, 2013 -- Five-time land speed record holder Valerie Thompson hopes to set a new record this summer and battery maintenance sponsor CTEK is backing her all the way.
Valerie will be racing her BMW S 1000 RR motorcycle at the SCTA’s Speedweek competition, held at Bonneville Salt Flats from August 10 to 16, where she aims to beat her personal best of 212mph, set in March of this year at The Texas Mile.
The global motorcycle and car battery charger brand has been a sponsor of Valerie Thompson since 2011 and she has since set five land speed records and gained membership in both the ‘Texas Mile 200 MPH Club’ and the ‘Mojave Magnum 200 MPH Club’. Valerie has enjoyed this tremendous success with her team, Valerie Thompson Racing, which she has owned since 2012.
Katariina Stahl, director of sales and marketing at CTEK, commented: “CTEK is very proud to have sponsored Valerie for the past two years, supporting her as she challenges her own land speed records.
“As well as setting records, Valerie helps CTEK at events and also works with many children’s charities. She is highly skilled, ambitious and a great role model for female riders; she deserves all of her success. We cannot wait to see how she performs at the Speedweek competition at Bonneville Salt Flats in August, and wish her all the very best of luck in setting another record.”
