Performance by Fisher Racing driver Kathy Fisher will head into the 2013 season with a newly broadened affiliation with Borla Exhaust on her K&N Filters American Race Cars dragster.  The Lima, Ohio based racer and “Performance TV” co-host will debut the expanded relationship with Borla Exhaust [www.borla.com] starting with her opening event in Norwalk, Ohio and the “Cavalcade of Stars” NHRA Div 3 event at Summit Motorsports Park, May 17-19.

“I am really stoked for this opportunity,” beamed Fisher of the announcement. “This couldn’t make more sense when you stop and think about it.  Get the air in with K&N and out with Borla Exhaust. There aren’t too many companies that offer products for my dragster, my daily drivers and our other toys.  I get the good fortune to be able to use, enjoy and experience the outstanding benefits of Borla Exhaust from street to strip and have done so for many years.”

“I am really stoked for this opportunity,” beamed Fisher of the announcement. “This couldn’t make more sense when you stop and think about it.  Get the air in with K&N and out with Borla Exhaust. There aren’t too many companies that offer products for my dragster, my daily drivers and our other toys.  I get the good fortune to be able to use, enjoy and experience the outstanding benefits of Borla Exhaust from street to strip and have done so for many years.”

“And exhaust is a lot of what we do for a living,” added Fisher. “My husband Kevin has been in the custom exhaust business for many decades, so we see all the brands and Borla Exhaust systems are quite superior in their build and choice of materials. Their extensive R&D really shows in the products they offer.”

In addition to Borla’s extensive line of bolt-on exhaust systems for street, their XR-1 Raceline provides nearly endless possibilities for the off-road and drag racing crown including the upswept Borla Headers and Mufflers on Fisher’s dragster.

“From the time I got my very first dragster, I have used Borla Exhaust,” said Fisher. “The only thing I have changed over the years is the size, as my engines got larger.  I truly love the sound and the look of my Armor Coat™ ceramic coated Borla Exhaust and it’s all I’ve raced with for the last decade.”

“The XR-1 Raceline is comprised of parts that are meant to be used on a wider variety of vehicles and are designed for race-use. Each XR-1 part number isn't application specific like for example the ATAK part numbers are.  Rather they are intended to be used on individually built vehicles because the motorsports world is made up of thousands of different configurations, many of which are "one offs," said David Borla, Sales and Marketing Manager.

And as David points out, “The World’s Most Winning Exhaust” is not the only thing we can look forward to from Borla.  

“Aside from setting the bar for world-class exhaust products, you can look for us to expand our product offerings into other automotive areas as well. We are intensifying our electronic fuel injection conversion business, known as "Borla Induction" and will be expanding our product line well beyond exhaust in the years to come,” he added.

The growing relationship between Fisher and Borla Exhaust is great fit that is truly welcomed by both parties.

“Kathy presents a unique set of skills and experience that includes competitive driving, broadcasting, and so much more,” David pointed out. “We are proud to be associated with her and our partnership continues to be a significant component of our marketing efforts.”

When not in front of the camera, the “Performance TV” co-host will compete in her K&N Filters/Borla Exhaust American Race Cars dragster, alongside her husband Kevin, at both NHRA and IHRA events. “We have added a few events this season that we wouldn’t normally go to and that’s due to the travels and events that I’m scheduled to do for television coverage.  So, we end up doing a lot of schedule shifting to get in as many events as can be squeezed in and it’s quite a full calendar this year.”

“This K&N/Borla American dragster doesn’t even have the new car smell worn off of her yet,” Fisher joked. “I have to say I probably only have maybe a half season on her, if that, but she’s already been to a final and we look forward to getting there again. Just hopefully a little sooner than last season. We certainly can’t say it’s not because we don’t have the absolute best from nose to wing on that car that also includes power by Ohio Crankshaft, backed up by my Abruzzi Racing Transmission and Converter, injected with Dragon Racing Fuels and sticking it down with Mickey Thompson Tires.  So many important components from Flatout Gaskets, Amalie Oil, Computech Systems, Moroso, House of Payne Performance, Hawk Performance, XS Power, Auto Meter and Power Plus Lubricants.  Advertising Edge/CustomRaceShirts.com keep us looking as good as the car with awesome crew shirts and thanks to the best tool man in the business Tom “The Tool Man” Hirt/Snap-On Tools, we have what we need to keep it all together.”    

Watch Fisher and her husband go through the paces this year when season 3 of “Married With Dragsters” debuts next month on CompetitionPlus.com as a special feature on CPTV.
