Diamond Pistons set themselves apart from other manufactures in a few ways. Diamond pride themselves on customer service and quality. When using Diamond for your engine build, you know that you\u2019re getting the best product, designed by the best engineers, run on the most state of the art equipment in the industry,\u201d said Campbell.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/Diamond_Pistons_01.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3522\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/Diamond_Pistons_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"264\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Diamond pistons are not only used in drag racing. \u201cWe manufacture pistons for all kinds of motorsports, ranging from Bracket Racing, Top Fuel and Pro Stock, to Circle Track, Truck Pulling, and Offshore Power Boat Racing. But we only have a contingency program in drag racing. We want to give back to the racers that support our company, and with the Speedgroup contingency program we can better serve and give back to our customer base in Europe. The importance of contingency programmes in our marketing strategy is huge, as it allows Diamond to give back to the racers that support our company. It also gives the racers another incentive to run our products. The reactions of our customers about the contingency program are very positive. Racers love contingency programs and have no problem running decals and other requirements necessary to collect contingencies. We see that in Europe too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diamondracing.net\/\">http:\/\/www.diamondracing.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/Diamond_Pistons_05.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3520\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/05\/Diamond_Pistons_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Diamond Pistons Speedgroup EDRS Contingency Program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Products: Pistons<\/p>\n<p>Diamond Racing award winners with USD 200 and runners-up with USD 100 in the<\/p>\n<p>Car classes:<\/p>\n<p>Summit Racing EDRS: All Car classes except Jr Dragster<\/p>\n<p>FIA Championship: All classes<\/p>\n<p>Conditions: Decals well visible on both sides of the race car, proof of purchase (copy of receipt) to be presented when making claims<\/p>\n<p>Claims handled via Speedgroup, Birgitta Blakstad Poolsaar<\/p>\n<p>Form of pay-out: gift certificate<\/p>\n<p>For all information about Speedgroup\u2019s contingency program:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/contingency-program\/\">http:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/contingency-program\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diamond Pistons joined the Speedgroup Contingency Program for EDRS car classes and FIA classes in 2016 and extended the partnership for the coming 2017 season. \u201cRacers love contingency programs, and it allows Diamond to give back to the racers that support our company,\u201d said Grant Campbell, Sales &amp; Technical Support representative of Michigan based Diamond [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3468"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3468"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3524,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3468\/revisions\/3524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dragracingeurope.eu\/edrs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
