As Trick-Tools’s motorcycle zooms along the racetracks at the NHRA U.S. Nationals, Baileigh Industrial is riding along in spirit. You can see the Baileigh logo under the seat of the White Alligator Racing Pro Stock Motorcycle.
The relationship between Trick-Tools owner Bruce Van Sant and Baileigh goes back a long way. “We’ve been selling Baileigh equipment since Chase was a toddler,” Bruce recalls. Now Chase Van Sant is riding the Trick-Tools Suzuki in competition.
With their No-Junk Guarantee, Trick-Tools sells quality products that the company can vouch for and stand behind. And, Bruce notes, “We sell a lot of their [Baileigh’s] tube bending machines and metal forming and shaping equipment.”
The NHRA races are a fitting forum to feature Baileigh Industrial, since Baileigh tools have enabled racing hopefuls to level up and fuel their need for speed. As Bruce explains, “We’ve actually installed a lot of their machines in race shops for chassis manufacturing, helping guys build race car chassis better and more quickly.”
Trick-Tools Racing recently competed at the Betway NHRA Carolina Nationals. “On our way to the semis, we took out tough competitors like Joey Gladstone and Chip Ellis,” Chase posted on Instagram, despite “coming up a little short” against Gaige Herrera.
He summed up Trick-Tools’ recent performance in the fierce race: “It didn’t come without challenges, but the team battled through a number of obstacles to finish qualifying in the 4th position which marked their 3rd consecutive top 5 effort.”
What’s next for Trick-Tools Racing? “We’ll move on to St. Louis with some momentum and the excitement of a home race,” Chase wrote on September 25.
We hope you’ll join the Baileigh Industrial family in wishing Chase and the Trick-Tools Racing team the best of luck at the upcoming event. Whatever the outcome, it’s a thrill to see the Baileigh logo on the track. We’re proud to come along for the ride with Trick-Tools Racing.
