BLE PRODUCTS MAKES PRESENCE KNOWN AT ALL-FORD NMRA SEASON OPENER.

Miami, FL – BigLen enters the ‘TWILIGHT ZONE’???  Actually, quite the opposite.  The BLE Camp traveled across the Sunshine State this past weekend (March 9-12) to take part in the National Mustang Racers Association’s (NMRA) season-opening race, held at Bradenton Motorsports Park, in Bradenton, Florida. 

 

The import/sport compact-derived parts manufacturer entered the track in the pristine BLE Products Semi-truck, with hopes of introducing the all-new, SEMA Award-winning, BLE Products Solid Lifter Conversions to the hard-core Ford competitors.  The BLE Solid Lifters remedy a major concern in the Ford racing world and are now available for the 4.6 & 5.4 modular Ford engines, including the 2 & 3 valve SOHC, as well as, the quad-cam 32 valve V8. 

 

“The crossover is ideal,” says BLE Products Founder Len Monserrat.  He adds, “We have been racing and developing OHC Technology engine parts since the early 90’s.  What we have data banked from our years of NHRA [National Hot Rod Association] competition, we have applied to our BLE Products.”

 

Their game plan for the event proved successful.  Although simply on display and sitting idle, the BLE Products Pro RWD 2004 Mitsubishi mustered enthusiasm and raised an occasional eyebrow from fans, racers, and media alike.  Packing 1300 horsepower from a ‘tiny’ 183 cubic inch V6 was the most fascinating fact for most in attendance.  Also on hand, serving as a buffer to the ‘import shock effect’, was BLE Products’ newly-acquired 66 Shelby Cobra replica, sporting the ‘Eleanor’ paint scheme from the hit movie “Gone in Sixty Seconds”.  The display area was further enhanced by Len Monserrat’s ROCK SOLID ‘B’-Girls, which spent the weekend greeting consumers and providing BLE Product literature, smiles, and complimentary photograph souvenirs.

 

As a final exclamation point, the BLE folks hit one ‘out of the park’ by teaming up with fellow-Floridian and former MLB player Gabe White, a retired left-handed relief pitcher for the New York Yankees.  White, who played in the 2003 World Series that pinned the Bronx Bombers vs. the Florida Marlins, provided his exotic, midnight-blue Ford GT, Ford’s Flagship supercar, to add the finishing touch to the BigLen display area, which covered an 85x30 ft span of NMRA’s Manufactures’ Midway asphalt.

 

“We want to make sure we give a special thank you to Gabe White, the staffs at NMRA, Promedia, Bradenton Motorsports Park, and Primedia for the warm welcome and hospitality they offered this past weekend”, says Alex Valdes, Global Sales Manager for BLE Products. 

 

Until now, the benefits of solid lifter high-performance engines were limited mostly to domestic OHV applications, with few exceptions.  Each BLE Solid Lifter Conversion Kit replaces the factory hydraulic lifters and comes with all necessary hardware for a straightforward installation.  For more details and features on the BLE Products, please visit www.bleproducts.com.
