Industry News: Vic Wood Named Senior Director of Sales For Weld Racing

Here’s some aftermarket industry news for you on this fine Wednesday. Weld Racing has announced that our pal Vic Wood will be taking over as their Senior Director of Sales. Chad and I have known Vic for years and appreciate his contributions to companies like Hedman and Aeromotive along with the work he has done on various SEMA boards and projects. He’s been a BangShift supporter since jump street and we’re thankful for that.

Outside of his business career, Vic’s been a racer both in his native Australia and here in the USA for many years. In fact, he’ll be out in Bakersfield at the 2017 March Meet in a couple weeks just like we will be! Here’s to a successful tenure at Weld Racing and a hearty congrats from us here at BangShift.
