Speedmaster™ Partnerships: Giving Back While Fueling Innovation

Speedmaster™ continues its momentum by breeding champions through its Partnerships. The Program is celebrating over a decade of successful collaborations between our Team and yours.

The Speedmaster™ Partnership Program is a multimodal means of practically supporting and developing theracing community. At our core, the Speedmaster team is made up of racers and dreamers, just like our customers. Our heart is to help people to embrace their passions and make the jump between racing as a hobby and racing professionally. This jump, however, can be financially infeasible at times.

This is where the Speedmaster Partnership Program comes in. Through a rigorous selection process, we collaborate with up and coming racing champions in a variety of different ways. Often times we donate or subsidise parts and components to aid a build, other times we sponsor travel and race entry fees to get our partners on the track. 

The Speedmaster Partnerships are unique in that they are more than just a cash hand out. We align, collaborate and strategize with our racing teams to ensure their success. In 2019, Speedmaster celebrates its 40th anniversary, and with that comes an unparalleled wealth of knowledge of performance parts, car building, racing and business management. In short, the Speedmaster Partnership Program produces champions, time and time again.

Over the years, the Program has partnered with many amazing teams and drivers. Track warriors such as Zappia Racing, Darren Morgan and Strasberg to name a just few. We helped Robert Campisi’s 632 cubed Ford Mustang become one of the fastest cars on the planet. Most recently we would like to welcome Rob Parson and Chairslayer to the family as well.

Professional racing is one of the most demanding sports imaginable, and the demand is not just on the cars. Drivers need to be in perfect athletic shape to sustain the stress and rigorous conditions on the track. Historically, this always meant that disabled persons were excluded from consideration as professional drivers.



The Chairslayer foundation is shattering this paradigm. They are a groundbreaking organization with one goal in mind: “Get Back in the Driver’s Seat.” Rob Parson, Co-Founder and Chief Chairslayer, in partnership with others has invented the world's most advanced hand controlled driving system to allow for precision control of every aspect of a car, with no foot or leg movement required at all. They have produced the first wheelchair bound driver to compete in the USA. And, most importantly, they give back to the disabled community by holding workshops and events to show people that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

The Speedmaster™ team would like to formally welcome Chairslayer to the Partnership Program and it is truly an honor to be associated with such an incredible organization. Thank you for all that you do, from the bottom of our hearts.

Stay tuned for more from the Speedmaster Partnership Program...
