Posted (04/15/2008) - The upcoming ROLEX event at Virginia International Raceway will be the homecoming race for Mechanicsville, Virginia based Zip Products, Inc.. 2008 marks the 2nd season that Team Sahlen has partnered with the Corvette parts and accessories supplier.

"Zip is totally dedicated to satisfying the needs of the Corvette enthusiast. This is a great partnership with our dual passion for Corvette performance. There will be several Zip Products staff at the track and we hope to have a great showing on the track for them."
- states Will Nonnamaker

Zip Products, Inc., was originally founded by Wayne Walker as a part-time hobby business to help cover the cost of his swap meet trips and also afford more time with his Corvette hobby. Thirty years later, Zip Products Inc., has grown to be one of the leaders and innovators in the Corvette parts industry. Once a backyard garage operation, Zip Products' facility now consists of an expanded showroom, automated office with shiping spaces and a huge warehouse. Zip Products: Corvettes are all we do!

With the marketplace for Corvette restoration parts becoming ever more crowded, it's only natural to ask, "Why Zip?" when considering where to shop. If you'll oblige me, I have several great reasons!

First and foremost: Experience. For more than three decades Zip Products has been a leader and an innovator in the Corvette industry. Doing one thing well is what we do best; our resident experts possess over a hundred years of collective Corvette knowledge - with all of it available to every customer. We're Corvette people!

"No Hassle". Customer service is much more than making sure orders ship and parts arrive on time. The true test of whether a company has a real "No-Hassle Guarantee" is when a "real problem" occurs. On those unfortunate occasions, we move quickly to reach complete customer satisfaction. That's customer service the Zip way.
Catalogs. Welcome to the future of Corvette restoration catalogs via Zip Products! What began as a few photocopied loose sheets has evolved into generation-specific, full-color catalogs that we believe are the best out there.

Why? Because they are designed for you. Enthusiasts and novices alike will find thousands of parts presented in a fresh format that includes hundreds of helpful photos and reference illustrations. We've spent thousands of hours researching every item in our catalogs so that you can find what you need and be confident in our superior quality. Finally, we have added to the catalogs a sprinkling of "Zip Resto Tips" which I'm sure you'll find both enlightening and invaluable.

Hands-on. We know what our customers want because we're enthusiasts too! Drawing on lessons learned from our own restorations, the A-to-Z knowledge of our in-house rebuilders, and the projects that flow through Zip's full-service installation facility, we're able to understand customers' needs. You'll find that this unique insight translates directly down to the sales representative you speak with on the phone. And by the way, don't be surprised to see a Zip-emblazoned C5 or C6 on the track - we're just out testing and developing new products!

Parts Availability. Zip strives to have the parts you need when you need them most: right now! Real-time inventory management enables us to know immediately that a part is in stock. Our expansive Web store is updated daily, and all on-line orders are confirmed via e-mail with shipment notification included. I thank you for giving Zip Products the opportunity to be a part of your Corvette experience. From the earliest '53 to the latest C6, Zip has what you need and what you want. Zip is Corvettes!

Coming up in June 7th, Zip Products will be hosting the 12th Annual Corvette Club of Richmond's Corvette Roundup at their Mechanicsville, VA headquarters from 10am to 3pm. This is<
