Michigan Short Track Racing Club: Verwayne - Viewing Profile

I like Gavin's idea. I'm not an engine builder, but I owned cars for five different teams at one point in time. We made a sincere effort to keep our engines from turning more than 6400 RPM, and rarely had engine failures. I knew guys that were consistently running 7500 and more who replaced engines every few weeks. I used nothing special, just decent quality stuff. We lost an engine at Owosso that was running its fourth season with only a refresh kit tossed in. We were able to salve virtually all of the internal parts except the block. My big 'secret' was to call Crane and explain what we were going to do at what weight on what kind of track, etc, etc, etc. They recommended a cam that cost me $100 and it was a snappy lil thing.

Gavin, Ron tells me that new and updated form will be out shortly.

I had seen Mr. Rose at the drag strip in McBride several times. Very nice man. There is a nice write up about him here.

I'm no longer involved with it, but I'll see if I can't get you a copy.

Understood. Thank you Mike. I wish more people were like you. CMS is usually on top of that kind of stuff, but I had a crew going there today.
