MAHLE Motorsport announced plans to sponsor all classes of Southeast Gassers Association (SEGA) racing for 2022.

SEGA is one of the fastest-growing forms of drag racing in the United States, with its ‘60s-era-style vintage vehicles competing with many of the original gasser rules and styles – 105 four-speed gassers, super stocks and A/FX race cars. 

MAHLE Motorsport, a longtime supporter, is now sponsoring all six race classes: A/Gas, B/Gas, C/Gas and SEGA Super Stock, H/Gas and A/FX. 

With grassroots participation limited to the look of a 1967-era drag car, rules are carefully constructed to ensure that the body, wheels/tires, chassis/suspension and engine compartment are in line with what was prevalent during this exciting era of drag racing, so no automatic transmissions are allowed. 

SEGA will host 11 events in 2022. The season starts March 11 at the Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, Georgia, and concludes the weekend of Nov. 4 at the Shady Side Dragway in Shelby, North Carolina. All races can be watched live at

. SEGA’s two exhibition classes are H/Gas and A/FX.

“Anyone that has had the opportunity to attend a SEGA event walks away with a smile on their face,” MAHLE Motorsport Marketing Manager Joe Maylish said. “These are just fun events for the entire family where mostly stock vehicles compete. The rules keep it authentic to the era – no special fuels or additives, old school tachs and gear jamming old-school transmissions – even the body styles are true to gasser racing of the ‘60s. MAHLE Motorsport is excited to become a full sponsor and we look forward to an exciting season of wheels-up racing.”

Rocky Platt, SEGA VP and director of operations, added: “Southeast Gassers Association has brought back old-school racing like the pioneers of the sport and Hall of Famers such as my Dad and Uncle Huston and Hubert Platt and many others that made drag racing what it is today – except SEGA keeps it just like the ‘60s and families love it.”

      To be successful in aftermarket parts sales requires a very broad knowledge base. It means having the ability to address customer parts requests for dozens of different vehicle manufacturers spanning more than 75 years of production, including multiple vehicle systems. Much like our inventory mix, our employees’ knowledge needs to be “spread out” to accommodate these varied requests. Sure, we all have our strengths and specialties, but imagine the bottlenecks at the counter if Heather was the only staff member familiar with reading the paper catalogs covering vintage applications, or that Larry couldn’t catalog anything unless it was for a domestic vehicle. 
      While we would never hire a counterperson with such gaping blind spots concerning vehicle knowledge, when it comes to store operations, these kinds of scenarios happen every day. Cross-training staff eases the burden for everyone in the organization, from the top down. Becoming an “expert” in your own particular role doesn’t need to prevent you from being a versatile member of the team. 
      link hidden, please login to view For obvious reasons, not every employee will be responsible for making management-level decisions. But when it comes to daily operations, each member of your staff needs to be given not only the tools to succeed, but also the skills and authority to use those tools effectively. We’ve all worked in locations with extended business hours or short-staffing situations, and felt the pinch when a key member of the team was absent. Picking up the slack in these situations has become a harsh reality in today’s business environment, and without cross-training for the remaining employees, everyone on both sides of the counter suffers for it.
      Depending on your individual role within the organization, you may have very little exposure to some of the other roles being performed around you, or you may already have experienced each role along the way to your current position. The hierarchy of roles in this industry tends to follow a natural progression, from delivery and stocking associates to counter and sales positions, and eventually to various management roles. Along the way, there is often considerable overlap in skills and responsibilities at each stage.
      At any level of the hierarchy, the most destructive employee attitude is the “not my job” attitude. Traditional workforce roles generally fall into either “labor” or “management” categories. Many organizations even reinforce this idea through uniform choices. Unfortunately, this also may create a division among employees, who feel that titles are designed to separate them rather than to complement each other. Even worse than those employees who claim that something is “above their pay grade” are those members of the team who believe that performing a particular task is beneath them. Having a delivery driver who is comfortable with helping with simple customer service tasks is no less important than the keyholding manager who makes a hot-shot delivery to help maintain a commercial customer’s workflow. Cross-training works in both directions!
      There may not be an “I” in “team,” but there are two of them in “idiot.” Building a team that can move effortlessly between roles requires all parties to be invested in the overall success of the business, not just their own individual interests. We need to identify those members of our team who are most capable of (and interested in) growth beyond just a narrowly defined job description. We need to encourage them to acquire new skills, and to remind employees who already possess those skills that having others trained in their role is a benefit, not a threat.
