PROLONG SPONSORS FORMER PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE CHAMPION LE TONGLET

 

Prolong Super Lubricants is now a product sponsor of 2010 National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock Motorcycle World Champion LE Tonglet. At 20 years old, Tonglet was the youngest racer to ever win the world championship. The same year, he won the Mac Tools U. S. Nationals.
     
The son of NHRA Pro Stock motorcycle racer, Gary Tonglet, and brother of NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle drag racer and former Vance & Hines/Harley-Davidson rider, GT Tonglet, LE Tonglet clearly has motorcycle racing in his blood. Tonglet's dad and brother serve as his chief pit crew, passing along their racing expertise and hand-tuning his bike. When Tonglet won the championship, the Tonglet Team won hardest working crew as well.
 
"We've been a family operated team since the beginning," Tonglet said. His bike is powered with a 1980s Suzuki GS1100 375 HP air cooled, normally aspirated motor that includes billet Vance & Hines parts. Since 2015, the Tonglets have used Prolong Engine Treatment and EP2 Grease in LE's bike, delivering extra protection and performance for his race engine. That same year, Tonglet qualified for all 13 events he participated in; raced to five semifinal finishes; and posted a career best speed in Englishtown.
      
"Prolong makes the bike run better," Tonglet said. "We don't have to worry about our motor locking up with Prolong. It gives us extra security.  
 
"We're extremely proud to sponsor this young man, whose talent and drive have put him on a clear upward trajectory in motorcycle racing," said Jon Apogee, general manager, domestic sales, Marketing and Motorsports, Prolong Super Lubricants.
