Quarter Master makes high performance racing clutches. Good ones. But no matter how good or well-built a clutch may be, it can’t last long if the throwout bearing clearances aren’t properly set. Without proper clearance, the clutch will never fully engage or fully disengage, and that will cause it to wear quickly. Properly setting your
The Fords took over Summit Racing Equipment in Georgia this past weekend. The 9th annual All Ford Show and Shine took place at the Summit Racing Retail Store in McDonough and drew some of Northeast Georgia’s cleanest and best Fords, Lincolns, and Mercuries. The event was presented by the Ford Owners Association, which provided us with some great images from
The Hurst HEMI Under Glass Plymouth Barracuda was a crowd-pleaser at dragstrips back in the day. With its 2,500-horse HEMI engine moved to the rear of the car and displayed underneath the Barracuda’s rear glass, the car has some serious weight bias. In fact, the legendary Barracuda earned more affection as a wheelstanding novelty than an actual
NORWALK, OH — As the saying goes, where there’s smoke, there’s tires. Or something like that. Food vendors were smoking barbecue, a few race fans were smoking cigars, and more than a few drivers were smoking tires Friday during qualifying on a picture-perfect day at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals at Summit Motorsports Park.

Small parts have a big impact on engine performance. For example, a good set of lifters will deliver consistent valve timing and maximum power with good oil control. To achieve these benefits, however, you need to make sure you follow the proper lifter installation procedure. The topic is important enough that Summit Racing created an entire
NORWALK, OH — We feel a little bad saying and thinking it, but it doesn’t make it less true: Classic American muscle cars are amazing to look at, but not always fun to drive. We’ve been spoiled by 50-ish years of technological advancement in suspension and steering performance, creature comforts like air conditioning, audio quality while blasting
Some were there for the cruise-in; others came for the fun runs. But we’d say the majority of the vintage cars, trucks, and late-models at Super Summit 2016 took part in both activities. Whether you were walking the show car field, watching the free fun runs on the dragstrip, or hanging out by the autocross course, there was beautiful
(Sorry, Baskin-Robbins). Like ice cream, engines come in a variety of flavors. From old-school Flatheads to blown and fuel-injected big blocks, we saw a little bit of everything at last weekend’s Super Summit show at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next build or you just appreciate all-things horsepower, you’ll
The kids are out of school and racing season is in full swing. Whether you’re RVing across the country, trailering boats or off-road vehicles to your natural playground of choice, or hauling your race car to and from the track, towing season has officially arrived. It seems obvious enough, but effective side view mirrors are
