We haven't had any problems with the pinch weld pad thus far. Unfortunately - many pinch welds are already bent from jacks and lifts which don't protect the weld. Our pad has a "U" shaped groove so there is a little room to avoid bending the weld as you indicated. It also allows you to use the...

The simple answer is - yes it can be produced cheaper. As a start up and in an effort to avoid the risk of huge debt - we started small. We did get this started during the recession so it was risky anyway. We found foundries somewhere else that could lower per pair price - mostly off shore. But...

I've been using Mobil 1 in my track prepared cars for years. I've recently heard there are some better synthetics out there that offer better protection. Is this just brand preference or are there some truly better high performance oils that are commonly available? It seems the Mobil 1 I used to...

New to this forum and stumbled on this thread. Fair disclosure - I'm the inventor. I won't promote, but there are quite a few threads with reactions from users and positive and negative comments on Rennlist and some other threads if you are looking for more information. I'd also be glad to...
