Not saying I know everything or even a lot, just talking about the stuff I have done for myself and other folks over the past 35 years of racing. You can chose to do with it whatever...if you don't like it change the channel. I appreciate the couple hundred loyal 4m customers that have chosen to run my stuff over the past 5 years and even if they chose to keep on the down-lo I still like all the "Winners Circle" pics they send me on a weekly basis.
C-10 more power to you, we were running them in Super and Late Model stock at Lanier and in SAS Supers & NASCAR All-Pro in the early 90's when they were the MacDaddy SLM classes for Pavement. You might want to check where Pro and Carerra started business... just a couple miles up the road. When I went to work as Tech Director at Dixie Speedway in the later 90's I introduced a couple folks to the idea and it worked pretty good for them.
MWR was caught using a form of paste in the intake manifold and air cleaner that closely resembles sterno, but with a more oxygenated mix of chemicals. Call a couple fuel companies if you want to find it an buy it for your own cars. If not I can sell you my version of it, it is pretty much non-detectable if applied properly.
The coating I am referring to is not something that you just wipe on, it is similar to an epoxy but has electrical conductivity and reacts with long chain hydrocarbons and iso-octane molecules. It has been used in other industries as a catalyst for reactions requiring high pressure containment and minimal mechanical mixing due to high volatility. It is also used in afterburners on jet engines to complete the combustion of unburned fuel being emitted in the afterburn process.
The Inner Liner deal I used then still works. I did use the phrase twice in the same sentence without catching it. Hope the semantics did not confuse you too badly. I guess I should have worked harder in my writing classes. We only used one inner liner and 2 valve stems. I also perfected using modified valve stems as bleeders and still use them today on dirt and pavement. When I raced in ARCA in 99-02 we mounted our own tires if we wanted to. I think the end of 02 is when ARCA started requiring rental wheels and tires impounded by Hoosier. It certainly was not because we were running 13# double walled cro-mo wheels, LW inner liners turned on a tire lathe, camber cut tires and schrader valves that worked like bleeders....
If making fun of an idea or comment is your way of being intelligent more power to you, you are definitely showing what you really are.
As far as stock trading goes, if you morons would have bought shares of Bank of America last year when I was first discussing it you would have made 250% as it hit $12 last week. I still trade for 2 hours a day MWF on a 5c swing and make $500 a trade on 10,000 share lots. It ain't much but when you do it 10 times a morning it is enough to cover my nut anyway.
BTW, Just purchased 2 Dirt cars over the weekend and I'll post you where to follow progress if you want to. New web format coming for 2013 if I can get it all together.
As far as ARCA races went my rental drivers qualified in on time for every race I ever attended and only use on provisional for a rain race for a rookie rental driver. Never won one, athough I did have a rental car win one, and finished top 5 a couple times. Every engine I ever rented also made the shows on time and I was blessed enough to never have an engine failure in over 10,000 laps and 30+ races.
As for you tire experts, traction in dirt cars is usually governed by slip ratio and side bite. When I am discussing cf it is the "coefficient of friction" of the rolling tire. I did not say anything about traction. If you can minimize the cf without negative effects on your tire contact patch than you will roll faster...it is not rocket science. We tested at a dirt track a couple months ago with about 5 sets of tires with incremental differences in roll-out and the less stagger used generated faster lap times. More air pressure did the same thing until it caused the tires to lose traction. Left sides took way more pressure than I would have thought...
I have had a lot of inquiries about when we will be opening up the shop to the public for the retail New and Used Parts BIZ and well we are already doing it. We should be getting new and used parts in every day as well as consignment cars. The 15,000SqFt shop is filling up pretty quick. We have already sold a couple hundred sheets of 4x10 for intro price of $50 sheet. New batch will be $60 sheet so we can pay the electic bill and the pretty ladies in the office. We are pretty much "by appointment" as we have been super busy testing the 2 New Port City cars to get ready for Lanier in a couple weeks. The second Late Model will be a rental car and has already run below the Pole Q speeds at AndersonSC in practice on scuffs with a couple rookie dirt drivers.
Man do dirt drivers know how to wheel a pavement car.
The second of the 2 dirt cars is a BWRC LW car designed for crate and hope to get it rented out for some big races real soon.

I also used to enjoy reading Mark's post's. Some would make me smile and shake my head, but some would make me stop and think about what he said...But as time has gone on, his claims keep growing and getting more outrageous and he has starting calling people very derogatory names, etc...hate to see that
