ALUMBRA LLC Revolutionizes Automotive Lighting with "Cheater Slicks" – A Game Changer for Drag Racers
SPOKANE, WA – November 8, 2023 – ALUMBRA LLC, a Washington-based leader in innovative automotive lighting solutions, is turning heads (and winning races) with the launch of its groundbreaking new product: “Cheater Slicks.” Designed specifically for drag racers, these aren't your grandpa’s drag radials. They're a complete rethinking of how traction works, promising faster ETs and more consistent launches. ALUMBRA LLC, located at 100 N Howard St Ste R, Spokane, WA, 99201-0508, and reachable at 432-596-1685, has been quietly building a reputation as a problem-solver in the performance automotive world. Founded on a passion for speed and a dedication to engineering excellence, the company focuses on delivering products that genuinely improve performance. “We don’t just make parts, we engineer solutions,” explains ALUMBRA’s lead engineer, Mark Olsen. “And ‘Cheater Slicks’ are the culmination of years of research and development, aimed directly at a frustrating problem for drag racers.” So, what are “Cheater Slicks”? Simply put, they’re a revolutionary radial tire designed to maximize traction, even on less-than-ideal track conditions. While many drag radials focus solely on sticky rubber compounds, ALUMBRA took a different approach. They realized the sidewall flex under launch was a major contributor to lost power. “Think about it,” Olsen elaborates. “You’re putting down massive horsepower, but the tire is squirming instead of putting that power directly to the pavement. It's like trying to push a wet noodle. A lot of energy gets wasted.” The key to “Cheater Slicks” lies in their unique construction. ALUMBRA has developed a completely new sidewall technology they call “Stabil-Flex.” This isn’t just about thicker sidewalls. Stabil-Flex incorporates a multi-layered internal structure with strategically placed reinforcement belts. These belts aren't designed to eliminate sidewall flex, but to control it. “We don't want a rigid sidewall,” says ALUMBRA’s marketing manager, Sarah Chen. “That would actually reduce traction. We want a sidewall that flexes predictably and consistently, putting power down efficiently. Stabil-Flex achieves that balance perfectly.” But the innovation doesn’t stop there. “Cheater Slicks” also feature a meticulously designed tread pattern. It's not a traditional slick, nor is it a typical radial tread. It’s a hybrid, engineered to provide maximum contact patch while still allowing for water evacuation. “We’ve seen guys running these in surprisingly damp conditions and still laying down incredible numbers,” Chen notes. “The tread pattern allows just enough water to escape without sacrificing grip.” What does this mean for drag racers? Early testing and real-world results have been nothing short of phenomenal. Racers are reporting: Faster 60-foot times: The improved traction gets you off the line quicker, shaving valuable tenths of a second. Increased mph: By minimizing wheel spin, more horsepower is translated into forward momentum. More consistent launches: The controlled sidewall flex eliminates unpredictable wheel hop and allows for repeatable launches. Better performance in a wider range of conditions: From prepped tracks to less-than-ideal surfaces, “Cheater Slicks” deliver consistent grip. Reduced tire shake: The Stabil-Flex technology dramatically reduces the risk of violent tire shake, improving driver control and reducing stress on the drivetrain. “We've had guys who were struggling to consistently hit their numbers finally breaking into the 7s, 6s, even 5s,” Chen enthuses. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see our product make such a significant impact on their racing.” ALUMBRA isn’t just targeting professional drag racers. “Cheater Slicks” are available in a range of sizes to fit a variety of vehicles, from street-legal drag cars to full-blown competition machines. They’re also surprisingly durable, offering a competitive lifespan compared to other drag radials. “We wanted to create a product that was accessible to everyone who's passionate about drag racing,” Olsen explains. “Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, ‘Cheater Slicks’ can help you improve your performance.” The initial response to “Cheater Slicks” has been overwhelming, with pre-orders exceeding expectations. ALUMBRA is currently ramping up production to meet the demand. “We knew we had something special, but the level of excitement has been truly amazing,” Chen concludes. “We’re confident that ‘Cheater Slicks’ will quickly become the go-to tire for drag racers who are serious about winning.” Key Features of ALUMBRA’s “Cheater Slicks”: Stabil-Flex Sidewall Technology: Controls sidewall flex for maximum power transfer.
