Team Sahlen will be partnering with Capri Tools to kick off a brand new video series that will be called “Endurance Tech Tips Tips”. The series will be hosted by Team Sahlen’s very own Will Nonnamaker. In each episode will be co-hosted by a Team Sahlen mechanic.
Each episode will be short 5-10 minute video that will focus on the unique experiences that racers face in these long, long endurance races. And these long endurance races can be as short as 7 hours to as long as 24 hours. Topics will include: Proper Torqueing Wheels on pit stops, Fuel Overflow, Hood Pin Safety, Pre Race Checklists, Bumper Fastening, Tire Management and much more. And from time to time, the video series will feature special guests providing tech tips to prepare a sports car for endurance racing.
Will Nonnamaker shared his thoughts on the Video Series. – “We started partnering with Capri Tools 3 years ago, with a series called Weekend Warriors. This featured fun interviews of our race weekend crew talking about their experiences in racing and what their favorite Capri Tool was. This has expanded over the years to many adventures including even fun videos such as our “Capri Tools parts Ice Cream Bowl?”. And then we had the idea of expanding with a series on Endurance Tech Tips. With Capri Tools being the source for high quality tools to work on your race and street car, they were the perfect partner to present this series. I think this will be a very fun and engaging series that each new episode will be greatly anticipated by racers and fans alike.”
Capri Tools and Team Sahlen will also be partnering throughout 2025 with at track partnership including offering Capri Tools catalogs to racers at the track to help them get their latest tools and gear for the next race. This will include adventures at such famous tracks as Daytona International Speedway, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Sebring International Raceway, Watkins Glen International and Pittsburgh International Race Complex.
