Performance Synthetics

Rest In Peace Art Barry. Modified pioneer…

A man that has been a big part of Modified racing for decades has passed away. Art Barry you leave behind a legacy of a great Modified car owner that put some of the all time great drivers behind the wheel of your race cars. RIP Art. Rich Oakley photo.

Haven’t posted in a while, so here is the update… First off, we would like to welcome Ripkey Racing to our family of dealers. They are having a great year at Mahoning Valley Speedway, and we are glad to be on board! Staying in PA, our driver Mark Martini has found a ride in the street stock division at the Mahoning Valley Speedway, and has been making progress with the new car and owner. As we have for years, Performance Synthetics will be riding along for his endeavors. Hell, we may even show up for a race or two this year!
Now to Long Island… starting with family, we welcome Matt McGrath to the Performance Synthetics family. Yes, Matt is our nephew so that was a no brainer. Matt debuted his Super Pro Truck at Riverhead Raceway this past Saturday, and we made the trip to be there. I am biased, but I must say he did an excellent job and will be one to watch in that division in the months and years to come. Now turning to Cj Lehmann and the Tour Modified.. unfortunately this year CJ is taking a sabbatical due to surgery early this year, but has been instrumental in getting Matt out on the track and in his ear as his spotter. CJ also has spotter duties for other teams at Riverhead and along with Scott Lehmann, have set ups in a bunch of cars in different divisions at Riverhead, and have spent countless hours working with everyone to win races.
As for us, we moved yet again, this time out of the Midwest and closer to the East Coast, so now we are a mere 12 hour drive away. We will continue to support all our customers and sponsored drivers from here and as always, we are here if anyone needs anything.
Stay safe and support your local short track!!

What a coincidence..... or is it not....we would like to wish our Performance Synthetics sponsored drivers a very happy birthday today! Yes, both Mark Martini and Cj Lehmann share the same birthday!!
