Re: Looking for a arias/ Fontana p

You might consider an inquiry with JE. They have supplied Duggan/Fontana/Arias pistons in the past.
The set that I have is 4.030, but the pin height is 1.050.

Re: Looking for a arias/ Fontana p

Re: ASCS: Brady Baker Disqualified, Fined For Failing Fuel T

Re: concerning a recent thread about costs of racing

The use of the word "attended" I understand to mean in-person spectator attendance. Folks in the stands is the only thing that supports mercenary racing.

Sportsman racing, where the participant...

Good to see discussion of this subject. What, if anything, is known of the failure mode(s) that are addressed by this change? Column failure in a roll-over? Transverse failure in a side impact? ...

Re: concerning a recent thread about costs of racing

Thank you Mr. Corky!
Ironically, the cross sectional area of the 1.25-.095 tubing is greater than that of the now required 1.375-.083.

Re: Robert Ballou's Comments after Macon

1) USAC is in the entertainment business.

Re: Lincoln Speedway Midget Track Record Falls to Jones & MA

Was Tanner Thorson's record set in a USAC National Midget, or in a MARA car?
If Thorson's record was in a USAC car, then Jones' record is indeed notable.
The MARA engine must be giving away 100HP...

The comments about vertical...

Re: Need Help with DSR Zero Pump

A very interesting system indeed. Typical floatless carburetors have a standpipe in the bowl to establish the fuel level, with the exit of the standpipe connected to a scavenge pump. The question...

Why?: A stabilized engine specification of reasonable cost.
