Rinnai, the world's leader in tankless hot water heaters, has joined forces with Bob Gilbertson's nitro Funny Car team for the Inaugural Carolinas Nationals at zMAX Dragway on September 11-14, 2008.

The Rinnai tankless hot water heater is a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient water heating system that uses a gas powered heat exchanger to heat water on demand.  Compact in size, the innovative technology heats water only as needed, and unlike antiquated hot water tanks that heat and reheat the same water 24 hours a day, the Rinnai system is more efficient as it only heats water when it is needed resulting in energy savings of up to 50% for the average homeowner.

"I'm very happy to be teamed up with Rinnai for the first NHRA national event at our home town track here in Charlotte," Gilbertson said.  "I have a Rinnai water heater in my own home and it delivers as promised, instant hot water. The energy savings are significant and I don’t have to wait for hot water to take a shower if the washing machine, dish washer or other hot water is running.  We've never run out of hot water since we've had the Rinnai and they're an easy retrofit to replace your old tank type water heater.  The digital control allows you set the water temperature to fit your needs and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to cut their energy costs."

"We've been involved in NASCAR for quite a while and we're looking forward to getting involved with NHRA drag racing for the first time,"  Jay Gregory, Rinnai's national account manager added.  "We are excited to be associated with Bob and his team and it's a perfect vehicle to get the word out about our product to the 100,000 people expected to attend the Carolinas Nationals over the weekend.”
