For ages our brave men and women of local law enforcement have been working hard to gain a bond between themselves and the rest of society. In years past there were many attempts to help get street racers off the street and onto the track where they belong. Now there is a new task force in California that has come up with the idea behind D.R.A.G.G. This organization stands for Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti and is a community based program to encourage youth and teens to get involved in motorsports other than the gang life.
Visit the Vortech Blog for more great photos from the event.
The Oxnard Police Department is the proud owners of their new project car that is the base for the program. A 2006 Mustang GT was chosen to customize and draw the enthusiasm of the youth in their area. Two officers from the Oxnard Police Department are responsible for creating this program and they have included several great companies along the way. Vortech is a major part of the build as they have supplied one of their V3-SI trim superchargers with a air to water charge cooler. Borla exhaust finds itself underneath the Mustang providing that great rumble that gets your attention as you roll down the street.
GMS suspension products allows the Mustang to have a great stance on its blacked out rims. Full Throttle Kustomz provided a custom tune to give it a little extra edge on the competition and plenty of neck snapping power for the officer behind the wheel. A special event was held to unveil the car and bring in youth and teens to see exactly what was happening with the project. From the looks of the photos it was greatly received and seems to be off to a great start. We wish the Oxnard PD all the best in their venture to make our streets safer for us and the youth of tomorrow.
