HARRISBURG NC (6-24-03)  Andy Hillenburg, owner of the Fast Track High Performance Racing School in Harrisburg, NC, has been designated as the official North Carolina distributor for Impact Racing, a new safety equipment manufacturing company created in April by safety innovator Bill Simpson.

Simpson, who has more than forty-five years of racing safety experience, has reemerged on the racing scene with the latest and most innovative safety equipment from helmets and gloves to shoes, suits and restraint systems. Simpson said all of his new products are designed from the ground up to provide the ultimate in performance and comfort, and with the same lifelong commitment to safety he is known for.

‘We were feeling a void at Fast Track,’ said Hillenburg, ‘as far as safety equipment goes, because the best equipment has always been made by Bill Simpson. In the business I’m in, why would you want second best? Safety is our number one priority at the school and Bill Simpson meets that priority best. That’s why Impact Racing safety equipment ø equipment designed and produced by Bill Simpson ø is the only safety equipment the school sells.’

To kick off the addition of the distributorship at the school, Hillenburg said he is offering a free racing gear bag that retails for $49.95 with the purchase of a pair of Impact Racing driving gloves and shoes purchased through his distributorship. The promotion will run through the end of August.

Customers can call Fast Track to order equipment at (704) 455-1700 and can visit the school online at www.fasttrackracing.com.
