9/12/11 FOZ Mounted Burrows Takes win at Peoria - Brent Burrows in his #51 FOZ Race Cars mini sprint almost made it the perfect weekend. On Saturday evening Burrows led five laps of The Clash at US 24 Speedway before jumping a rut on a very rough track. Not to be discouraged Burrows came back to take the win as the Illinois Lightning Sprint Series visited Peoria Speedway. Peoria will be the location of the upcoming Al Archdale Memorial race. Congratulations to Brent Burrows and his grandfather on a strong 2011 season. Rob Wilkerson has also made a big impression in Colorado lightning sprint action scoring another victory in his FOZ this past weekend.

Gustin Takes Delivery of New FOZ - Trey Gustin recently enjoyed his first night in a brand new FOZ. Trey Gustin has been racing mini sprints for a few years now making the transition from a 600cc upright to a 1000cc upright mini sprint last year. The family's interest in mini sprints goes back a generation to his father Spud who also raced mini sprints before stepping up to a full-size sprint car. We are proud to have Trey Gustin and all of the driver's who have chosen a FOZ behind the wheel. Best of luck to everyone. Remember its a great time to put your order in for the 2012 racing season.

Digital Tachometer goes to the salt flats - Our Acewell 1100 digital tachometer has proven to be a very popular item with mini sprint, modified midget and dwarf car racers because of the functionality it delivers for an economical price. However, there are also many other popular applications for the unit which keeps track of both RPMs and water temp. We recently recieved photos from Jerry Klawitter of a motorcycle that he will soon be taking to the Bonneville Salt Flats. He explained that he was happy to find the Acewell 1100 because it provided the important information that he required--but in a small enough unit to mount on his bike where space is at a minimum. For more information on the Acewell 1100 digital tachometer, click here
