Weddle Industries & Automatic Transmission Design
Abrams, Wisc. (February 12, 2016) - Just as MORR was wrapping up another successful Sportsman Championship Banquet, two companies announced their contingency program for the 2016 MORR season. Automatic Transmission Design and Weddle Industries have once again added MORR supported races to their marketing programs.
"We were just wrapping up all particulars with the banquet," noted Mike Reusche, MORR Contingency Director, "when two emails came up confirming their support for the 2016 season."
Weddle Industries, located in Goleta, California specializes in extreme use
transaxles, gears gearboxes, and clutches. The company's gears, transaxles and clutches are featured in the hardest working race vehicles in the world and have earned a growing list of wins and impressive results at Dakar, Baja, and the Deserts of the Southwest.
The Weddle Industries MORR Contingency Plan awards first place finishers in all three buggy classes. Light Buggy: $50. 1600 Buggy $75. Super Buggy: $150. To qualify, winners must be a Weddle Industries customer.
