Squidd, Most local speedway promoters in our area carry their own insurance, as well as announcers, pa, radios, etc. etc.  

I'd be leary of a promoter that requires you to use their "insurance" as it more than likely only covers "their behind" in case of accident or injury to "spectators" (liabilty)and not the racers themselves, (comprehensive) hospital bills, ambulance etc...Club insurance covers the club (or at least it should) and you better believe the promotors only covering his own interest...

Doesn't the club have insurance dues to pay each race...? doesn't the club have to supply trophies for each race...radios, announcer,  PA...?

That's where the money goes that the club gets from the promoter... if there is any left they might be able to spread a little around for tow money...

Racers are getting a venue to race on and an audiance to watch them race... generally at no cost to the racer...

Not sure where you guys think all this "extra" money is coming from....??

Pay the drivers not the machines... one guy with three machines in his truck is nice, but one truck with three drivers is a class...

Driveline / Re: Gear ratio and speed.

The thing with "top sped" is you only reach it when your in your highest gear after you run thru your torque curve and achieve highest rpm and hold it there...That's your "top speed"...

Thing is... you never, ever, ever, "race" like that...or get to those parameters under race conditions...so why is it important...???

Gear down to pull to the end of straights in the peak of your torque curve...you'll be much "faster" on the track...

Kohler Engines / Re: Tare down ???N

I've always thought if I go to all the work to remove the engine and pull the pan, and then the cap to "inspect" the rod/crank... the bearings will always show "some" wear (even if acceptable) so why not put new in... cheap enough compared to failure....

I have never replaced rod bolts, but generally haven't kept same engine/class for more than two years running...never had a bolt fail...

It almost seems like a rstrictor plate would "promote" cheating (pushing the rules)...

If everyone has the same  external "restriction" than you would have to do some sort of (internal) modification to gain an edge...?

Yeah this pretty much all was supposed to relate to "STOCK" classes goverened or not as per the original post...

Except for the guys that didn't read that part and are just getting wound up over nothing..
