Editor’s Letter
2020
wasn’t an easy year for anyone. At this point, I think every one of us has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While it remained uncertain for much of last year, by September, it was clear that even SEMA would have to adjust to the new normal, and on a massive scale. SEMA360 launched after many other trade events had attempted going to digital with various degrees of success. From what I’ve experienced, it has been the only event that has come close to being as good as the live show with having access to 650 of the top manufacturers for the performance and racing industries. The online portal featured daily content including videos, educational seminars, and round table discussions. The connectivity aspect was a feature our team found the most useful, as we were able to connect one-on-one with many of the manufacturers and service providers that are featured in our 2021 Top Products. It is unfortunate that access to contacts and messages was lost after the event was over, and probably my only complaint. Beyond that, I would say SEMA360 was a success. Volume Five marks our first full schedule with nine issues slated this year. Besides our up-to-the-minute updates on RacingEquipmentNews.com and our social media channels, our digital magazine is designed to allow our readers to connect directly with performance parts and equipment manufacturers and suppliers. Discover what’s available to meet your performance goals for all forms of racing, from circle-track, street or the strip, road course, drifting, or off-road. Racing Equipment News is your source for performance in 2021. A sincere thank you to all that have helped us get to the starting line this year,
Nick Boliek Editorial Director NEXT STAGE - VOL. 5 ISSUE 2 - WHEELS, TIRES, & BRAKES The rubber meets the road with wheels, tires, and brakes for the street, track, and off-road.

ENGINE | HEAD
Chevy SBC Assembled Aluminum Camel Double Hump 461 Cylinder Head Step back in time with Speedway Motor’s modern reproduction of the iconic Chevy 461 double hump cylinder heads, now cast in lightweight aluminum. Also known as “fuelie” heads, the 3782461 castings were used on many legendary Chevrolets from 1961-1967. Speedway’s all-new cylinder head casting is a modern take with all the old-school looks you desire out of a reproduction camel hump head. Features like fast-burn combustion chambers, high-velocity ports, large diameter valve springs, and positive stop valve seals bring the vaunted camel hump heads into the 21st Century.
Modified GM LS engines that make big power and turn high RPMs need increased oiling to survive. You can’t get that with the stock lifters, but you can with Summit Racing’s Performance LS7 Hydraulic Lifters. The lifters are a drop-in fit for LS-based engines without Active Fuel Management or Displacement-on-Demand (AFM/DOD) systems. They’re also a great choice for Gen 1 small block Chevy engines with factory hydraulic roller cam valvetrains. Designed for high horsepower engines that demand increased oiling and higher-rpm capabilities, these lifters will fit in SBC roller engines as well as LS-based engines without active fuel management (AFM/DOD).

Unlike most traditional drag racing wheels, Forgeline’s forged monoblock single beadlock GS1R Beadlock wheel is carved entirely in one piece from a single forging of 6061-T6 aluminum using an advanced precision machining process. Featuring a forged aluminum ring that holds the tire securely in place, to limit unwanted tire slip against the wheel, and to keep the tire from unseating, at very high speeds.
Champiro SX2 RS is an evolution of the previous SX2 design. Utilizing all the strong points of the original SX2, the SX2 RS applies an all-new tread compound to refine the tire’s performance. Keeping the extremely aggressive and proven asymmetric tread design, it offers increased cornering stability and grip in dry and wet conditions. Whether it’s track days or professional drifting competition, the SX2 RS delivers the consistent traction and precise control you need.

Sport Japan discs are now one of the only aftermarket performance discs to still feature fully drilled countersunk holes which are much more affective at venting gasses which cause brake fade than the more common dimples. Six grooves on the braking surface keep pads from glazing. All Sport Japan discs are based on original equipment specification, TÜV approved castings, heat treated for strength and hand finished to ensure the smoothest possible braking surface. Sport Japan Discs are TÜV approved for most applications.

MAKIN’ POWER VP Racing Fuels Delivers Track Proven Speciality Racing Fuel Blends as well as Formulated Lubricants
VP
Racing Fuels was founded by Steve Burns, who initially exhibited his aptitude for R&D in the early 1970’s as a young racer in San Antonio, Texas. Self-taught in chemistry and physics, Steve was convinced the race fuel manufacturers of the day were falling short in their quest for optimum horsepower. To address this shortcoming, he began experimenting with exotic blends of fuel, much to the dismay of his parents whose garage served as Steve’s laboratory. Steve began at the local tracks of Texas, where racers tried his fuel and liked the power 60

RALLYMAX gains. His first fuel was christened “C12™,” the word spread and Steve’s company was founded as VP Racing Fuels in 1974. VP is now recognized by many as the world leader in race fuel technology, with a catalog of more than 70 fuel blends and a growing roster of VP-fueled champions across the entire spectrum of motorsports. VP’s reputation for product quality, along with superior service and technical support, helped secure its position as the Official Racing Fuel of the WeatherTech United SportsCar Championship as well as sponsor of 60+ other series and sanctioning bodies, including AMA Supercross, World of Outlaws Sprint Cars and Late Models, Trans Am, NMRA, NMCA, PDRA and Rally America among many others.
Lubricants Formulated For Maximum Power And Protection
While primarily known as the “World Leader in Race Fuel Technology™” VP Racing Fuels has leveraged its technological prowess to develop VP Racing Lubricants, a family of fully synthetic
professional grade racing oils and high performance synthetic blend oils as well as gear oils, an engine break-in oil and engine assembly lube. As part of VP’s diversification strategy, the lubricant line is a natural fit with its core market according to Richard Glady, VP’s Sales Manager-Lubricants and a 34-year veteran of the lubricant industry. “We’ve partnered with a leading specialty chemical and additive company to provide unique, cutting edge formulations based on years of experience as well as a select balance of synthetic base stocks designed to VP’s requirements and strict specifications,” said Glady. “I’ve been involved in developing and launching racing and high performance lubricants over the years and can say with confidence VP’s new lubricants offer world class, cutting edge power and wear protection.”

MAKING AN IMPACT: Milwaukee’s New M18 FUEL™ Mid-Torque Impact Wrenches Can Tackle Over 90% of Fastening Applications!
M
ilwaukee Tool unveils the most versatile impact wrenches in the industry with the next generation of their M18 FUEL™ Mid-Torque Impact Wrenches. Packing up to 650 foot-pounds of torque while weighing in at only 5.1 pounds, these new impacts offer the best power-to-weight ratio in their class for the most access in tight spaces and faster bolt removal. “In 2017 we launched mid-torque impact wrenches, solutions that bridged the size and power gap between small compact impact wrenches and extremely powerful high torque
impact wrenches. Now we’re delivering the next generation of these mid-torque impact wrenches, significantly decreasing the length while increasing the torque!” said Eric Rusch, Group Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “What will surprise most users about these new M18 FUEL™ Mid-Torque Impact Wrenches is their ability to tackle more than 90 percent of the daily applications – making this their go-to solution and allowing them to only reach for their high torque impacts when absolutely necessary.”
64
VOLUME: 5 | ISSUE 1 | 2021
While up to three pounds lighter than other high torque impact wrenches, these mid-torque impact wrenches are equipped with a POWERSTATE™ Brushless motor that generates the torque and speed needed to perform many of the same tasks, such as removing large bolts or lug nuts. Additionally, as the most compact tools in their class, they can easily access stubborn fasteners in spaces where larger impact wrenches can’t fit. REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence ensures maximum performance and protects the tools against overloads, overheating, and over-discharge. The M18™ REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack ensures these tools provide more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack. The four-mode DRIVE CONTROL™ offers greater precision with a range of pre-set RPM and IPM levels, selectable from a single button on the tool. By selecting Mode 4 when the
tool is in forward, AUTO SHUT-OFF™ control applies no more than 35 ft-lbs of torque for hand-tight fastening applications to prevent overtightening. When the tool is in reverse, Mode 4 delivers Bolt Removal control, which delivers full torque output and then decreases RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops. For increased visibility in confined and low-light workspaces, these tools are also designed with tri-LEDs that deliver brighter light with less shadows. Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. The new M18 FUEL™ Mid-Torque Impact Wrenches are fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 200 power tool products.
