< Back to News Home Performance Friction Compound is the stopping power for Team Sahlen

Posted (05/19/2014) -

As far back as the 90’s, when Team Sahlen campaigned Mazda MX-6 race cars, Performance Friction Pads were utilized to secure race victories and championships.  This relationship evolved as the team moved into racing the Chevrolet Corvette.  And led all the way up to most recent times in 2013, when Team Sahlen utilized Performance Friction Compound Pads and Rotors on their Daytona Prototype racer.  This trend now continues in 2014, as Team Sahlen transitions to their Porsche Caymans in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge ST Class.  Both the #42 & #43 racer will be on Performance Friction Compound Brakes and Rotors.

 

Shared Team Sahlen Driver Joe Nonnamaker – “I have known Darrick Dong at PFC for over 2 decades. He is always at the track, ready to help you with any need you may have.  You couldn’t ask for a better rep than Darrick, and a better partner than PFC.”

 

And if past experience with Performance Friction Compound was not enough to choose the brand for Team Sahlen’s Porsche Caymans, what can be a better endorsement for choosing a brake pad for your Porsche, than choosing a pad that was selected by Porsche Motorsports to be the official supplier of their famous GT3 Cup racer.

 

Team Sahlen Driver Wayne Nonnamaker added his thoughts – “Despite the rules placing our Cayman as one of the heaviest in the ST Class, I feel that with our Performance Friction Pads allow us to brake as deep as anyone in the series.  I think this is one of the key reasons why we set fastest race lap at Daytona.”

 

At Performance Friction, there have used our mission to build a culture.  PFC has built our company based on a defiant philosophy: NO COMPROMISES™. It’s a mindset, an attitude, a commitment.
