You meant to tell me that you midget racers have been cranking your motors PAST these numbers???

Some of you guys run past 9 grand? 10 grand?

Seriously?
Many Sprint Cars routinely are above 9000 grand.

Overhead cam motors are built to withstand higher rpms. The old Cosworth engines were often over 10 and 11 thou. Hell...We turned our V-6 9400 nearly everywhere and it lasted 15 races between valve springs.

It's just numbers.

No offense Dave but shocks are not even close to the top of the list as far as things that need to be regulated.
