TSR, Chevrolet, Ron Shaver, Indiana?

Larryoracing · 3/27/08, 11:28 AM

Anybody read the latest issue of Circle Track? Just came in the mail yesterday 3-27-2008.

1) Looks like Tony, Ron, Chevrolet are teaming up and setting up shop in Indiana to
build the next Generation...World Products???????, Block....offshoot of Chevy's LS7,
900(+)HP, 410 cu inch sprint car engine to compete in USAC, WoO and Late Model competition.

2) They did show the heads on Shaver's last 410 motor. The new head is sill at the Head Porter
shop. Ron's last engine peaked out at 865 HP.

a) They hinted you needed 2HP/ cubic inch to be a front runner?

3) Supposedly Ron will be running the shop in Indiana.

a) A new shop will be built near TSR to build the motors.

4) They kind of hinted this is their effort to compete with Toyota and Mopar. The engine wars
are on and I think everybody is taking this next effort very seriously.

If this is true (doubt it) but if so all this will do is squeeze out any hope for the little guy to actually be compeititive any more.

But considering where this is coming from I question the factuality of it.

How much longer will it be for a 410 costing 75k? Next year?

I have to believe some of this,Smoke is building of H@#$ of a place in Indiana, a location I will not reveal, big ass place, security gates and all,home for him and his wanged/non wing operations.He is/will be moving all of his car collection to this humidity controlled location with plenty of room.

Go watch the Ron Shaver interview @ http://www.hoseheadforums.com/forum.cfm?ThreadID=14745 . Ron relates/confirms his participation in the deal. He also strongly mentions Chevy's involvement - while he makes no mention of TSR's new building, he does note that there will be a facility in Indiana that he will support. And only for Schatz's car - Paul Kistler will continue to supply engines for Kraig Kinser's and the USAC cars.

But like Don says, will this price the weekly, local competitor out of business?

I know several engine buliders tell me they have been getting over 900 bhp for years

This will have more effect on the winged side then the non-wing side because it is almost imposible to get 900 bhp to the ground with a non-wing car

The make up of most indiana bull wings the engines most guys are running now will remain to be effective for years

There was nothing mentioned in regards to any of this in the video w/ Ron Shaver on hoseheads?? Am I missing something? Was this only printed in the Circle Track article??

Yep I'm pretty sure it was Circle Track.

I posted the article after reading it. I'm pretty sure I was
reading Circle Track.
