Car was built by me over a period of several years, finished in fall 2015, tested once and never raced. 90" wheelbase, engine is 44" out from the rear axle, cantilever coil over front with Woodward...
Don't try this. It can land you in big trouble, or at least your new purchase stuck at the border for a period of time while they sort it all out. I heard a story about something like this that...
I don't work on one of the cars, so someone else will probably have a little better answer on bore/stroke combinations to get to the max of 360 ci specified in the rules.
The one problem with parking one whole division outside is it makes it really tough, if not impossible, for the guys pulling double, triple, or quadruple duty.
You're looking for a Char-Lynn torque multiplier. I believe Eaton is their parent company now. They don't speed up the steering, but multiply the torque the driver applies to the wheel for power...
Fremont is racing October 1. Their schedule shows "Open Wheel Shootout" with winged 410's, BOSS non-wing sprints, and winged 305's. That would be much closer to on the way to Ft. Wayne than some of...
In regards to the cam drive question, it's an option from most cam suppliers to have the back of the cam drilled and tapped for the rear drive. Most engine builders are capable of doing this as...
I don't think I would be real quick to throw a shorter shock on there. Is the tire still on the ground when you see the spring off the perch? If it is, at least the unsprung weight on that corner...
The only thing I don't get is why all of these divisions that mandate smaller, less powerful engines insist on running wings. IMO, it would make more sense if they would get rid of the wings because...
Actually, it hasn't held up in court. Way back in the 80's, M&H sued over a track tire rule that spec'd Hoosiers somewhere up in the northeast. They lost. There was a similar suit in 2007 that was...
I'm glad to see Waynesfield has backed off of the "four Hoosiers" rule. I help with a car that normally runs the BOSS series on American Racers and that rule kept us away from non-BOSS races in the...
I'm pretty sure DMI will make you a custom shaft. The big question is how much shorter does it need to be? If it's only a couple inches, you can usually take a bit off the end of a standard piece,...
I'm reasonably sure that's the same bar used for the Beast sprint car rear sway bar (3/4" x 36). I don't have any, but it might help widen your search a bit.
My observation as a pavement fan and sometimes pavement sprint car racer is the real difference in the cost of running dirt vs. pavement is the tires. Engines are basically the same. Pavement cars...
Older Lee Mfg. power steering gear with Sweet Mfg. quick release, Lee Pitman arm and unknown manufacturer top mount. Should probably be checked over before running, been sitting a long time. $650...
These guys repair them. I'm pretty sure a friend of mine used them to repair a custom bladder for a supermodified. I know it got shipped to Minnesota, and this is the only facility that shows up on...
