Women in Motorsports 2021 Class

Now in our third year of our Women in Motorsports issue, we continue to find amazing women doing amazing things in motorsports, and this might be our best group of women yet.

This year, we feature a bakers dozen – 13 women – who come from all kinds of different backgrounds and do all kinds of different things in this industry. Some have families and multiple jobs, some are just beginning to explore what this industry means to them, while others are at the peaks of their careers. 

No matter where they are or what they’re doing, these women are in it for one reason only – motorsport passion.

Valve Springs

High-frequency fatigue, also known as harmonics, are a ubiquitous challenge in racing engines and can potentially wreak havoc on the valvetrain if left unchecked. Well-designed valve springs play a pivotal role in managing this, ensuring essential stability, and minimizing wear on valvetrain components.

The Latest on Lifters

For racing, a common trend to eliminate the problems associated with hydraulic lifters are the use of limited or short-travel hydraulic lifters. A reduction in plunger travel, which is usually about half that of a traditional full-travel lifter, reduces the amount of oil required to fill the lifter, which in turn reduces the compression of aerated oil.

What to Consider When Selecting Pushrods

Determining the correct pushrod length is often regarded as one of the most intricate aspects of the selection process due to the variability in valvetrain geometry and design.

Rocker Arm Update

Not only are customers asking for higher quality, they’re also becoming accustomed to having to wait a little while longer to get it. And, on the aluminum rocker side of things, the trend for customers has been a desire for lighter rocker designs.
