IHRA announces Moser Engineering as presenting sponsor for Summit SuperSeries, Summit Team Finals programs

The International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) is pleased to announce that Indiana-based Moser Engineering, the industry leader in performance axles and rear ends, will be the presenting sponsor for the Summit SuperSeries and Summit Team Finals sportsman programs beginning in 2012.

Designed as a championship program for bracket racers around the world, the Summit SuperSeries has crowned nearly two dozen champions and awarded over $1 million in cash and prizes since 2002 and now, with the added support of Moser Engineering, the program will only continue to grow and provide the biggest stage in grassroots sportsman racing today.

“Moser Engineering has always been known as one of the leading sponsors with our support of the Sportsman Ranks. This continued relationship with IHRA shows our commitment to that relationship. We enjoy going to the track and racing ourselves and getting to partner up and promote programs like this is just part of who we are as a company.” – Jeff Anderson, Marketing Director

In addition to adding additional support to the Summit SuperSeries program, Moser Engineering will be the largest backer of the dragster build program which awards a brand new dragster to the Top class winner at the IHRA World Finals. Moser Engineering will also be returning as a major contingency sponsor for all levels of IHRA racing, including providing significant contingency at the Summit Team Finals and Summit SuperSeries championship races as well as rewarding the tracks that the racers represent. 

The Summit SuperSeries presented by Moser Engineering is the World Championship program for IHRA member track sportsman racers. Providing the base for the Summit SuperSeries are the more than 90 member tracks and thousands of IHRA racers around the globe.

Each track determines its Summit SuperSeries champion through head-to-head competition throughout the year. At the conclusion of the season each track’s Summit SuperSeries champion then moves on to race other track champions at the divisional level at the Summit Team Finals presented by Moser Engineering. Those drivers that emerge victorious from the Summit Team Finals will meet at the IHRA World Finals for the Summit SuperSeries World Championship.

“Moser Engineering is proud to partner with companies like Summit and organizations like IHRA that go out of there way to show Sportsman Racers they are the reason for our companies success.  The racers support of us allows us to be successful and we appreciate getting the chance to pay it back.”

 – Jeff Anderson, Marketing Director

Drivers who compete in seven NHRA sportsman classes will be eligible to participate in two new sportsman shootout programs sponsored by Moser Engineering.
NHRA Moser Engineering Sportsman Shootouts will be held in NHRA Division 3 and NHRA Division 4 for competitors in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, Top Dragster and Top Sportsman starting in the 2012 season.
The North Central Division NHRA Moser Sportsman Shootout will be held at the 2012 JEGS Northern SPORTSnationals and the South Central Division NHRA Moser Sportsman Shootout will be held at the 2013 JEGS Cajun SPORTSnationals. Each Moser Engineering Shootout event posts a purse of $15,000, with each winner taking home up to $5,000.
To become eligible for the Moser Engineering Sportsman Shootout, drivers will earn points at select NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Divisional races as well as NHRA National Open events. The top two points earners in each class will make up 14 of the 16 car field with the remaining two spots being filled via a random draw from the field of qualified racers.
“Moser Engineering has long been one of largest supporters of Sportsman racers with our contingency and specialty programs that reward excellence in the sportsman ranks,” said Rob Moser, president of Moser Engineering. “These racers have proven to be a major key to Moser Engineering’s success over the last 25 years. At the same time we have also been a big supporter of NHRA’s sportsman with our contingency programs. In recognition of the strength and value of NHRA brand we are launching a new sportsman program to reward the best sportsman racers at the divisional level. The “Moser Engineering Sportsman Shootout” will be a continuation of this philosophy. Anyone familiar with the Moser Engineering sportsman programs in the past will be excited to know that this will start out with 2 divisions initially with the intention of expanding to all 7 Divisions. In a time of reduced payouts and a pullback of some corporate sponsorship we want the heart of drag racing to know that it is recognized and appreciated.”

Moser Engineering Dynamic Performance Drag Brake Kit

Moser Engineering Pro Drag Disc Brakes

 

Moser Engineering announces the release of a revolutionary new standard for safety and performance in pro drag disc brake kits. We started with a clean sheet of paper when it came to the R&D of this caliper, rotor and hat design. Beginning with the caliper, Moser Engineering designed a competition race series 4 piston aluminum anodized forged billet caliper made of 6061 T6 billet aluminum instead of a cheaper cast caliper. The anodized calipers help eliminate corrosion and preventable wear.  A dual pin is used for pad retention and o-rings are used to eliminate pad chatter. Stainless steel pistons & Teflon coated one piece bleeder screws are included in the design with dual crossover ports for quicker fluid release on the outboard pistons. Another Moser feature is the caliper and rotor design that allow for 25% more pad contact area than other calipers and allow for a 20% thicker pad than most of the competition. The kit ships with industry leading Hawk pads that lean on their years of expertise in racing brake pad design and compounds. For the revolutionary rotor/hat design we designed a 2 piece keyed, slotted and drilled rotor combined with a hat that utilizes a spiral retaining ring to help allow more radial growth during high temp cycles than the competing designs already in the market. This helps to reduce the sticking, warping and belvilleing that occur in most other designs under heavy braking. Our Caliper along with the keyed rotor and hat design has over 4 years of R&D and track testing to assure reliability and performance. Ask any racer who is using these kits and you will find that this kit instills confidence like no other kit on the market. So when you are looking for the new standard in Race Ready Pro Disc Brake Kits contact Moser Engineering.

Britt and Brian battle it out at Indy!

Britt and Brian battle it out at Indy!

SUPER COMP - Brian Folk, a former U.S. Nationals Super Gas champion, took the win over close friend Britt Cummings to win Super Comp. Folk was 0.004 on the starting line and 0.045 seconds over the 8.90 index to win with a 0.0101 margin.

“I want to thank my mom and my brother Nick,” said Brian Folk. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be here. They are the ones that help the most. It sure was a fun race to run my pool shooting buddy Britt Cummings in the final. Him (Cummings) and I have had a lot of fun times together over the years. I’m just ecstatic as usual.”

Axlemania Pressure Culminates This Weekend!

Monday, August 1st, 2011

This weekend 32 of the best sportsman racers in the country are waiting  to hoist the prestigious axle trophy and claim their portion of the $51,000 prize that comes with winning the Moser Axle-Mania Sportsman Showdown.

A grand total of 32 drivers, four from each regular IHRA Summit Pro-am class and one wild card group, will do battle Friday and Saturday night at the Northern Nitro Jam at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park this weekend to take their piece of the $51,000 pie - a cool $22,500 and bragging rights for the entire year. The runner-up collects $7,500.
 The Moser Axle-Mania Sportsman Showdown is one of the biggest sportsman races of the year
The final 32 is determined by Summit Pro-Am points among all eligible racers, with the top four in each class and four “wild card” entries earning their way into the field. The bracket is determined by random draw, with drivers first competing within their own class and then branching out to face drivers in other classes.
 
The competition will be contested in the eighth-mile with a special set of rules to help level the playing field. And when all is said and done only one driver will remain and that person will take home the $22,500 grand prize and the title of Moser Axle-Mania champion.
 
In 2010 it was Quick Rod racer Bo Upton surviving the grueling two-day competition, defeating Stock racer Myron Piatek in the final. This year’s competition also features some heavy hitters vying for the top prize with multiple divisional and national champions among the group.
 
As always, the first two rounds of competition will narrow the field down to the best in each Summit Pro-Am class and the one wild card group. From there the competition will pit the Top Sportsman champion against the Super Rod winner and the Wild Card winner versus the Top Dragster champion on the left side of the bracket, while the right side will feature Super Stock versus Hot Rod in round three and Quick Rod versus Stock.
 
 
Time trials and the first two rounds of eliminations will take place on Friday, while the final three rounds of competition will take place Saturday night under the lights in front of the huge Martin crowd during the Northern Nitro Jam “Night of Fire.”

MOSER ENGINEERING DELIVERS THE MOST RELIABLE 8.8” DIFFERENTIAL AVAILABLE

MOSER ENGINEERING DELIVERS THE MOST RELIABLE 8.8” DIFFERENTIAL AVAILABLE

 

Portland, Indiana – Moser Engineering is proud to once again announce a partnership with Autotech Corporation. Moser Engineering will be the sole distributor in North America for the “Made in the USA” Innovative 33 spline Wavetrac Differential for 8.8” Ford style differential applications.

 

This is the strongest unit available and also boasts a Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty that covers use in a motorsports environment. Moser Engineering was sold on the Wavetrac once we tested and tried to break the units in our fleet of race vehicles. They not only passed our tests but performed flawlessly.

 

With the economical horsepower available in today’s market it has been hard to supply a street capable differential that could not only handle the horsepower but give smooth and worry free operation even under drag race conditions. The “Made in the USA” built Wavetrac is the first reliable diff to be made available to the 8.8 Ford users that allows the use of a 33 spline axle and doesn’t have the noise and harshness of a locker style unit. These attributes make this the only choice for a street/strip machine.

 

This unit is different than any other torque biasing diff design because it works in low or no traction conditions that would stop other designs in their tracks. The Wavetrac units are made from 9310 steel gears run in a case-hardened Billet steel bodies and use high quality ARP fasteners. The unit is designed to be maintenance free and this means that as supplied new, the Wavetrac differential will perform a lifetime of service without maintenance or rebuilds. The unit is also customizable and if desired, you can alter the diff’s behavior to suit your needs using optional components.

 

This design really opens up the possibilities for dual purpose race cars. This 33 spline design when coupled with Moser Engineering Custom Alloy axles will give you years of worry free operation. With Moser Engineering’s expertise we can help you design a rear for your car that will not only handle the horsepower that you are building but make your car drive and handle life on the road as well as it handles life on the track. Combine this “Made in America” design with your “Made in America” Moser Axles and Housings and you will have a unit that will handle the toughest of conditions.

 

 For more information regarding the new Wavetrac Differential for 8.8 33 spline applications, contact a Moser Engineering representative at 260-726-6689, or email to info@MoserEngineering.com.
