This partnership with the FOD Control Corporation can assist racetracks in cutting costs on track maintenance in 2025.
NORWALK, OH: The World Drag Racing Alliance (WDRA) has procured a partnership with the FOD Control Corporation in 2025, adding to its already impressive line-up of discounts and perks that come with being part of the Alliance. The FOD Control Corporation will provide a ten-percent discount to WDRA member racetracks who purchase a FOD-Razor Motorsports Sweeper, which is an innovative drag mat that picks up FOD (foreign object debris) from the racing surface, pits, and staging lanes.
“The beauty of this system is that it doesn’t send the debris airborne,” said Jon O’Neal with WDRA. “Most racetracks have traditionally used air power to move debris off the racing surface, but that becomes sketchy near cars in the pits or the lanes. This concept of a sweeper was built for airfield use, but the effectiveness of these drag mats on racing surfaces has amazed me. The only other way I know to lift material is a vacuum truck, and the cost savings with a device like this are extraordinary in comparison.”
The FOD-Razor Motorsport Sweeper is an ingenious pull-behind sweeper built to ensure a clean surface while enhancing performance and safety during competitive events. The durable design quickly removes rocks and aggregate, loose tire rubber, glass, fiberglass, carbon fiber debris, and other foreign substances. It’s an easy and low-maintenance way to prevent tire and vehicle damage, operates seamlessly on various track surfaces, and is compact, lightweight, and easy to deploy. To drive home the positives, the FOD-Razor Motorsport Sweeper can be connected to any motorized vehicle, has a lifetime warranty, and is manufactured in the USA.
Pete MacGregor, Business Development Manager at the FOD Control Corporation, is also excited to offer WDRA tracks a trial offer on a compact unit designed to be shipped from track to track. WDRA racetracks interested in the trial unit can contact MacGregor to arrange timelines and get information on shipping costs. Information on the discount, trial and contact info will be included in the 2025 track books.
“We appreciate how the WDRA supports the grassroots of the drag racing industry, and we at the FOD Corporation are happy to help support those efforts,” said Pete MacGregor, FOD Control Corporation Business Development Manager. “This product is proven to be a reliable and economical option, and we’re happy to help share it through an exclusive deal with WDRA member tracks.”
The FOD Control Corporation is providing a try-before-you-buy program for WDRA racetracks utilizing a compact unit that is designed to be shipped from track to track. Interested WDRA facilities can contact MacGregor to arrange a schedule and get information on shipping costs. The 2025 WDRA track books will contain more information on the FOD-Razor Motorsport Sweeper discount, trial offer, and contact information.
