Some one mention valve cover racing?

Post by themickeyd »

I seem to remember a note about valve cover racing maybe a part of the Stock. Anybody know if this is a go and if so what are the rules so I can make sure I don't get dnf'd :wink:

We are having trouble finding a track for the race. Still looking. I'll update this site with the info when we find a track.

I am still working on getting permission to use the track owned by Badgerland F100's. It is the same track used at SS1. If it will fit in the back of my daily driver, we wouldn't have to worry about license plates and insurance. Would just have to tow the 66.

OK, this is a reminder to get your racers ready. I have had permission for a while to use the valve cover racetrack owned by Badgerland F100's. Still trying to figure a way to get it there but it will be there! I have to do some work on the trailer it is transported with but that is minor. Wish my car hauler was about 3' longer as I could put the track and my 66 on the trailer and get about 4mpg more than my 66 will give me.
But to recap,,,,,,,


Get your valve covers ready!!!

Remember guys, the classes by the rules AND the Missouri, Catch as Catch Can, Chainsaw, Cage Match, No Holds Barred, Anything goes that doesn't harm the track and doesn't require a environmental empact study for the EPA, totally almost no rules valve cover racer. In other words if it won't hurt the track, you can run it. Put on your thinking caps a design a Monster... old.gif
