Speed Unlimited was a longtime
partner at Maryland International
Raceway ™ (MDIR) and served the
racing community for 53 years.
Unfortunately, what was known as
MDIR’s Official Speed Shop has
closed its doors and for the first
time in 30 years, there was a
vacancy above the ET Series name.
However, MDIR is proud to announce
the new ET Series sponsor for 2021
and beyond!
1320
Fabrication is taking on a larger
role at the famed MDIR and will be
the new ET Series Title sponsor! “We
are excited to grow our relationship
to the next level with Maryland
International Raceway and support
our fellow racers” said Jason Abee,
owner of 1320 Fabrication. “Most of
us racers started in bracket racing
and either choose to continue
bracket racing or move to different
classes. 1320 Fabrication started
running with a car in Top ET in the
beginning and now have a field of
Juniors competing in the Junior
Dragster class at the 1320
Fabrication ET Series at MDIR. It’s
a good feeling to give back to the
racing community and be a part of
the series we complete in!”
“I met Jason a few years ago when he
first started racing at MDIR.
Watching his success in the time
that I have known him has been
astounding. I can’t tell you how
excited I am to have Jason and the
1320 Fabrication crew on as the new
ET Series Sponsor!” Said Christopher
Higgins, Director of Marketing and
PR at MDIR. “The crew is some of the
best in the business and their
energy and passion is out of this
world. This will be a great
partnership for both parties.”
1320
Fabrication is a fabrication shop
located Brooklyn, MD, that has
evolved to the caliber of shop that
it is today in a relatively short
time. “I started 1320 Fabrication
eight years ago out of my house
while still working as a body tech
during the day for the first 6
months.” Abee stated. “From working
out of my small garage it didn't
take long until we needed a small
shop. Once we made the move, we had
good success and stayed there for
about 2 years until we were able to
expand into our current location.
Since then, our shop now stays busy
with awesome builds going on daily.”
At a young age, Abee was always
building model cars and racing nitro
powered RC cars in competitions. His
dream was to build, craft, and
learn. Abee took the 2020 season off
racing while updating his 1987
Pontiac Grand Prix. The car started
as daily driver and will soon be set
to run Pro 275, Limited Drag Radial,
and other heads up classes. “I’ve
always been a hands-on person. Our
shop car I have owned for 21 years
since I was 17 years old and it
started as my daily driver. It has
had an evolving life of changes in
the time I have owned it. I learned
how to backhalf the car at 21 years
old alone in a little garage.” Abee
said. “Now I look back and see how
it has all played out and all the
years of grinding and a pursuit of
this dream of having my own
fabrication shop has come true along
with wanting to put out great work,
a great team, and be a big part of
our drag racing community.”
