A fire, triggered by an oil-line failure on a machine, caused damage to one of the buildings housing A-1 Performance Products, a pioneering manufacturer of automatic transmissions and torque converters and longtime NHRA contingency sponsor.

According to A-1’s Adam Bowdish, “We’re fortunate to have saved much of our equipment, and we’re working around the clock to restore normal business operations. Getting electrical power back is our primary concern. There was no damage to our converter shop, which is in an adjacent building. The phones are working (360-574-9966), and we’re fielding tech questions and taking orders. We will do everything humanly possible to assure that customers get what they need in a timely manner.”
