Off-road racing champ Kyle Leduc makes SEMA Show debut with WD-40

LeDuc’s 4,000-pound EVVO II Ford Raptor with 4-wheel drive, 900 horsepower, V8 carburetor and a chromoly tube chassis will be on display in the WD-40 Brand booth (#62129 located outside by South Hall) throughout the week-long show, October 30 – November 2. LeDuc will be at the WD-40 Brand Booth Friday, November 2 from 9 – 11 a.m.

The EVVO II will be a must-see for SEMA attendees as the paneling is made out of carbon fiber – which is the next level in a sport in which most race vehicles have aluminum paneling. With CNC cut frames, the carbon fiber exterior provides a lighter weight but more strength and reliability than most other competitor’s trucks.

In addition to meeting LeDuc and seeing his truck while at the booth, attendees will get to test some of the products he uses on his vehicle and, via an interactive website application, will learn how WD-40_® Multi-Use Product and the WD-40_® Specialist line of products play a critical role in maintaining LeDuc’s racing vehicle. LeDuc uses:

• WD-40 EZ-REACH_™ to get the WD-40 Multi-Use Product in hard to reach places without having to disassemble his truck using the can’s permanently attached bendable straw.
• WD-40_® Specialist_® True Multi-Purpose Grease on his CV joints – it’s his go-to WD-Brand product.
• WD-40_® Specialist_® Spray & Stay Gel around the shop on lift gate and forklift vertical chains so the lube stays where it’s sprayed.
• WD-40_® Specialist_® Non-Aerosol Industrial Strength Cleaner & Degreaser to remove grease from his truck and get it race ready. 
• WD-40_® Specialist_® Fast-Acting Carb/Throttle Body & Parts Cleaner to keep his champion engine running smoothly and improve its performance at high RPMs. 

“People come to the SEMA Show to find out about the best tools, equipment and products to use on their vehicles,” said Patricia Olsem, senior vice president of marketing strategy and innovation at WD-40 Company. “If WD-40 Brand products can withstand LeDuc’s punishing race schedule – they can be trusted by automotive technicians for regular maintenance.”
