SAMSON SOUNDS OFF!
Samson has seen a tremendous boost in sales since Mike Baverstock and his business partner bought the company. His “Loud Pipes Win Races” attitude is translating from strip to street with top quality, American-made, aftermarket exhaust for Harleys and select Indian motorcycles at an affordable price. Samson’s biggest challenge now is getting enough raw materials to keep up with demand. They’ve recently acquired a CNC milling company and automated powdercoating lines.

WHAT A DRAG!
“We believe our ET Drag Motorcycle racing tires are the best around, and the Mickey Thompson Tires Top Sportsman class is the perfect proving ground,” says Ken Warner, VP of Marketing for Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, explaining why they are returning as class sponsor for the Xtreme Dragbike Association (XDA). The “Mickey Thompson Tires Top Sportsman Class” features 7-second bikes from the XDA’s MPS Pro E.T. class battling it out for cash prizes at seven events. “XDA racers always put on a great show, and we’re happy to be part of these exciting events,” adds Warner. “This version of our ET Drag tire is consistently setting records and winning races. Mickey Thompson is number one in Motorcycle Drag Racing and racers ask for M/T Motorcycle Drag Tires by name.” For more information on Mickey Thompson’s motorcycle-specific drag tires, click here: https://www.mickeythompsontires.com/drag-tires/et-drag-moto
TOOLS FOR ENGINE BUILDERS
Baseball may be a game of inches, but drag racers need tighter tolerances than that! Goodson Tools & Supplies for Engine Builders has introduced a fully reengineered setting micrometer for the 3-D Fast Cut Valve Seat Cutting System. “We lost our supplier for the original MGA-MIC back in 2019 and have been searching for a way to bring the tool back ever since,” says Goodson National Sales Manager Dave Monyhan. “With some good old ingenuity, we found a way to do just that.” The redesigned setting micrometer has a 0.800” to 3.000” range capacity and features a carbide tipped anvil for accuracy and durability. Goodson also engineered a .375” diameter precision drill bushing for the calibration standard or pilot to ride on. The direct reading micrometer is accurate to .001” —Use the 3-D Fast Cut Setting Micrometer with any .375” pilot, regardless of top size, to set your cutters. An optional 1” calibration standard is also available. For more information, contact Goodson at 1-800-533-8010 or visit goodson.com
