NASCAR has announced two competition procedure changes will be implemented ahead of the Playoffs in all three national series.

Starting with this weekend’s races at Michigan International Speedway, NASCAR will incorporate the "choose rule" into the restart procedure for all national series races except those held on road courses and superspeedways (Daytona and Talladega). 

As drivers approach a designated spot on the track, they must commit to the inside or outside lane for the restart. The rule will add strategy and will be important on tracks that have a distinctly dominant lane on restarts. 

In addition, beginning with the Daytona Road Course event, NASCAR will reward both season-long and single-race performance to determine the lineup and pit selection, using owner points position and the finish and fastest lap from the most recently completed race.

The metrics will be weighted and averaged to establish the starting order. Points position will be weighted at 35%; finishing position at 50%; fastest race lap at 15%.

When the Playoffs begin, Playoff cars will fill the top starting positions. For instance, in the Round of 16, the top 16 starting positions will be Playoff cars; in the Round of 12, the top 12 starting positions will be Playoff cars; and so on.

“We received nothing but positive comments from the drivers on the choose rule following the All-Star Race, and felt it was an important addition to the restart procedure. The random draw has served us well during the return to racing, but it is important that starting lineups are based on performance as we approach the Playoffs. The entire industry is aligned on implementing a competition-based system to determine the starting lineup and pit selection order,” said Scott Miller, NASCAR senior vice president of competition.

Riley Technologies—owned by father-and-son design and engineering team Bob Riley and Bill Riley—along with Jim Matthews, have acquired the assets of original Ford GT40 Mk IV constructor Kar-Kraft. 

Kar-Kraft assets have been delivered to Riley Technologies' multi-disciplined engineering and manufacturing facility in Mooresville, North Carolina, where the Riley team will engineer and construct the next generation of one of the greatest American-made sports prototype race cars in history.   

According to published reports, initial plans include a production run of up to 10 period-current Mk IV continuation cars, with a projected 2022 release date.

The Mk IV is the only US-built car to claim the overall victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, captured during the 1967 running of the premier endurance race and piloted by A.J. Foyt and Dan Gurney. Bob Riley was also part of the design and engineering team during the '67 win.

"To be reunited with this project is incredible," Bob Riley said in published reports. "It was a very special time, and everyone involved at Ford and Kar-Kraft were great people. This brings back a flood of memories both with the car and the people involved." 

Tooling, fixtures, and original design drawings—some with Bob Riley's name—were among the acquired assets.

Looking for the latest in shop equipment? The annual PRI Trade Show features hundreds of new products that are designed to improve performance and streamline race operations.

A new CNC machine or a state-of-the-art chassis dyno represents a significant investment for any race shop, and the first step in researching and inspecting possible choices often starts on Machinery Row at the annual PRI Trade Show.

In addition to the high-end equipment set for display inside the Indiana Convention Center from December 10–12, Show attendees will discover tools, cleaning systems, fabrication equipment, welders, abrasives and many other race-related gear.

Innovation will be a leading theme at the 2020 Show as companies take advantage of advanced computer programming, updated materials, and improved manufacturing methods. 

“As racing moves toward lighter and durable materials, how does that change the tools in your shop?” asked Joshua Swainston of OMAX Corporation, Kent, Washington, which will display a water-abrasive cutting table at PRI 2020. “Shops want rapid part production and no heat-affected zones when cutting out materials.”

Today, more race shop personnel appear to be shopping versatile CNC machines with an eye toward developing their own engines. “There is a noticeable trend in shops either interested in or actually manufacturing engine blocks, cylinder heads and many other parts from billet materials,” said John Cowher of Centroid, Howard, Pennsylvania, which will showcase its latest CNC machines at PRI. “The shops want to get the most bang for the buck in their investment from this machinery, so why not use the machinery to its fullest potential—not just use it for port and chamber digitizing. Take control over product development, turn-around time, and dependencies, and manufacture superior and more robust engine parts to take advantage of all the performance gains billet parts can bring.”

Taking advantage of today’s new, sophisticated machines can also mean stepping outside the automotive arena.

“High-performance engine shops continue to be busy, and it is exciting to see customers continue to invest in equipment and find creative ways to add shop work,” said David Bianchi of Rottler Manufacturing, Kent, Washington, which will bring a combination block/head machining center to PRI. “In some cases, with our EM69 CNC, customers are manufacturing new parts that are not designed for engines and taking orders for sales via the Internet.”

Even amid continuous innovation and advancements, engine builders and race shop managers continue asking manufacturers for more features. “Consistently, engine builders are looking to automate while keeping machine operation simple,” added Bianchi. “This is a key feature that we build into our equipment—versatile and simple conversational programming. Surface finishes and bore profiles are always critical, and we have an ongoing commitment to making this process simple with total control so that engine builders can offer something unique and better to their customers.”

“I believe shops are looking for features that make job processing easier, features that decrease cycle time,” agreed Cowher. “These include more automated processes that are easy to use. An example of that would be the constant upgrading of our CNC Control and the ease of use of the software, and how it plays with our hardware. Autonomous digitizing continues to be enhanced.”

OMAX works with a variety of shops, including those building experimental vehicles and classic race cars, where ease of use is even more important so that a wide range of skill sets can take advantage of the machinery.

“Often it’s the shops that are doing small runs or one-offs of very specific parts,” said Swainston. “For this, OMAX is always looking to make its machines more accessible. We do this by making our software easy to use and by offering a wide range of machines to meet everyone’s price point.”

With such a diverse assortment of products and services available in Machinery Row, it’s a good idea to prepare a basic shopping list and familiarize yourself with the floor plan. Even if you’re not shopping for new equipment, manufacturers’ knowledgeable sales and tech reps will be on hand to answer all of your questions and offer tips to improve workflow in your shop.

Following are snapshots of 11 new pieces of equipment we’re especially excited to see up-close and in-person at this year’s PRI Trade Show.

 

ABS PRODUCTS
–

The Blizzard Stage III Blaster from ABS Products in Brea, California, uses GhostFlow technology to deliver soda abrasive, which is soluble in all automotive fluids. It can be used to blast clean delicate parts without fear of the abrasive embedding in the part surface or remaining in critical locations. The Blizzard Stage III is designed to handle all types of production applications, including those with multiple shifts. And, the GhostFlow technology requires low compressed air usage and a minimal amount of soda to complete the task.

GIANT FINISHING
–

The Slurry Blaster from Giant Finishing in Addison, Illinois, is available in two options: GSB3630 and GSB4836. The numbers represent the size of the cabinet (36x30 and 48x36, respectively). Slurry-blasted finishes are known for consistency and saving time, in addition to their smooth and attractive surface texture. Additional work such as painting or plating are typically made much easier, too. A slurry blaster allows for finer media, so it can reach smaller, critical areas. Also, slurry doesn’t generate dust like other media, so it’s much more environmentally friendly. One of the more unique features of the GSB series is the electric wiper blade on the inside of the window to provide the operator a clearer view of the work.
