AFCO Performance Group, an Indiana-based specialty manufacturer of automotive racing and high-performance suspension, brakes, cooling, and exhaust products, announced that it has hired Dale Raber as a Sales Engineer. 

Raber brings nearly 17 years of racing experience, including several national championships and over 100 feature USAC wins as crew chief at the national level. In his new role, Raber will team up with longtime AFCO shock specialist Adam Waters to launch and oversee AFCO’s new quarter midget program. 

AFCO’s engineering team, along with Dale Raber, Adam Waters, and Donald Brackett, recently joined forces with the open wheel experts at Eagle Motorsports, including Rick Hench, Brian Schnee, and Jason Martin, to design and develop a new generation of quarter midget race cars. AFCO will become a full-service quarter midget shop for families seeking to compete at local and national levels.

“We’re very excited to have Dale join our team in Indiana. Dale is well respected in quarter midget racing,” said Jeff Scales, President of AFCO Performance Group. “He has tremendous expertise in car set-up and driver development. His attention to detail and innovation is well known throughout the country. Dale and Adam, along with our extensive engineering and fabrication teams, will make a great combination supporting those select race teams looking to compete at the front of the field.”

“I am very excited to be joining an industry leader and to be able to provide further advancement to the quarter midget racing community,” said Dale Raber. “I look forward to working with families around the country that are looking for a safe and fast quarter midget racecar of world-class caliber.”

AFCO’s new quarter midget program is set to launch in early spring of 2016. For more information, contact AFCO at 800-632-2320, ext. 6210 or 6244.
