KYMCO USA became the Official Scooter & Off-Road Vehicle Supplier of the NHRA in 2009, the same year the FULL THROTTLE ENERGY DRINK brand assumed title sponsorship of the drag racing series.
This new marketing partnership with FULL THROTTLE ENERGY DRINK is the latest in a multi-prong approach to ensure that KYMCO scooters and off-road vehicles maximize their presence at NHRA events.
KYMCO USA already provides scooters and off-road vehicles at NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series events, as well as at the NHRA’s five owned and operated drag racing facilities, and last year added John Force Racing to the list of NHRA motorcycle and auto teams utilizing their vehicles in pit services.
One of 18 scooter models marketed by KYMCO USA, the Super 8 150 (MSRP: $2,399) is 50-state legal, carries a two-year factory warranty and is sold in Red/White, Blue/White and Black/Silver.
The Coca-Cola Company launched FULL THROTTLE ENERGY DRINK in 2005. Today its energy drink lineup includes Original Citrus, Blue Agave, Red Berry, Coffee Mocha and Coffee Caramel.
