Re: Summit Point National

I lost a clutch slave cylinder at the Double National at VIR two weeks previous so replaced it with a new Wilwood unit. During the race Sunday the two halves unscrewed completely so I lost all ability to shift (only real race car drivers can shift without a clutch!). Never considered checking the ti...

What is the difference in placing shims inside or outside of the kingpin? Trial and error can take quite a bit of time and I am...

Re: Ed Schubert

I also purchased parts from Ed which were shipped by two different carriers; one arrived quickly the other one about a week later. Ed followed up on the tardy package and was very kind and helpful. Thanks for the great parts, very reasonable prices and follow up!

We had spec tires at Nelson's Ledges a few years ago when Hoosier discounted the first R45 tires. It was a pretty simple deal-a few guys called/emailed the regular runners; we took orders and placed them with Hoosier. Then sent a truck to pick up all the tires and paid for them. And then delivered a...

In a 7' width one single row can hold 2+ sets of mounted wheels and tires fo...
