For many of you, when you think about MAHLE Aftermarket and the products that they make, Cobra Jets, drift cars, muscle cars, and all kinds of racing/muscle stuff pops into your head. Well you need to also be thinking about the pullers as well! MAHLE has a huge presence in the pulling world and it is for the same reason they have one in the drag racing and muscle car world as well. Their stuff is made to an incredible standard, it is made to work, and it will deliver on every promise made of it in your application.
We think it is really great that MAHLE Aftermarket takes such pride in the teams and their success. It is a big deal for any racer or team to notch wins and championships and to have an operation like this recognizing that is really cool. We say it often but the world of pulling (which we love and feature often here) is way bigger than most people can even imagine!
Well done to these guys. Read on for the full story.
