Team Torch Exclusive Welder for NHRA Events

Since 1987, Paul Le Sage, aka Team Torch, has been the exclusive welder for all National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) events. Currently equipped with a heavily-modified, low-riding Chevy S-10 Xtreme truck and a 9000kVA generator/welder, Torch can quickly buzz in and out of crowded pit areas.

“I’m doing some very extreme repairs on 300 mph race cars in the course of my day at a NHRA National event,” says Le Sage. “With a 75-minute turnaround between making

another race down the drag strip, time is not on my side. The 3MSpeedglasAuto- Darkening Helmet is a must in my world.”
