My name is Dr. John O'Connor Ph.D. I am writing a 6 part multiple article submission for a Summit Racing Blog  onallcylinders.com  on building a car and obtaining sponsorship. The Second article will be out in April 2016.

Red Dragon Racing Team has been involved in racing for a very long time, whether its performing Sports Mental Game consulting to top NHRA and IHRA teams both in the United States and in Australia, racing our cars at tracks up and down the east coast, or judging car shows, our passion is for racing, winning, and providing our sponsors a unique and exciting program to be part of with Red Dragon Racing Team.

Dr. John O’Connor, the head of the racing team, is a psychological therapist with thirty-four years of experience. While he has worked with almost every issue known to man in almost ever population, he has a particular expertise in sports psychology and athletic performance. He has worked with a pro team in Australia and a pro team in the United States, and both clients won the championship that year. Dr. John O’Connor has a respectable history of published articles on the mental game of racing as well as in other sports. Several are with RPM Magazine. The latest is “Don't Blame Your Ego" in the July 2014 Issue.

Press Coverage for the Build
The Mustang is going to be a featured article in a 6-part Summit Racing Blog. My article is entitled “The Working Man’s Guide to Building a Competitive Race Car and Sponsorship.”
The article is going to be about providing a blueprint for building a weekend racecar that the average guy or girl can build, as well as how to obtain sponsorship to build and race the car.

“This really is a game-changer for NHRA regarding the presentation of our marquee product, the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series,” said Peter Clifford, NHRA president. “FOX Sports promises to be just the right media partner we’ve been looking for to help give our professional series the stage it deserves and to provide our passionate fans the timely, quality coverage they are craving.”

The Sunday elimination shows will consistently be presented in three-hour programs and the Friday/Saturday qualifying shows will be two hours of coverage. In addition, FS1 and FS2 will provide multiple re-airs for all of the events. FS1 also will provide coverage of select NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Sportsman Series events. In total, FOX national networks will feature more than 450 hours per year of NHRA programming.

The deal also includes NHRA racing on FOX Sports Racing in Canada and the Caribbean, as well as FOX Sports GO, the critically acclaimed app that provides live streaming video of FOX Sports content at home or on the go, and now available in 70 million households.

Fans can download the mobile app for free from the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store and Windows Store.

“Committing to 16 live events, including four on the FOX broadcast network, certainly demonstrates the commitment and excitement level we have for the National Hot Rod Association,” said Jamie Horowitz, President of FOX Sports National Networks. “As home to the strongest and most diverse collection of racing properties on television, adding NHRA drag racing to the weekly lineup absolutely solidifies FOX Sports as the leader in motorsports television.”

FOX Sports has also committed to heavily promoting all NHRA Mello Yello Series shows throughout its media platforms. NHRA will sell advertising and sponsorship packages and assume responsibility for the production of the shows in concert with FOX Sports, with the creation of an in-house television production group as well as handle all international distribution for the programs.

FOX Sports will join the NHRA in offering this exciting addition to the FOX Sports racing portfolio to the linear and digital marketplace.
