Dave Hardy Claims SM Win

Congratulations to Dave Hardy for the win this past weekend in the Tire Rack® SCCA Solo National Tour held at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Dave campaigned his 1989 Honda Civic in the Street Modified FWD class to his first ever win at a National event. Hopefully this is the first of many more to come. Read more on the Atlanta Tour 2011 on the official SCCA site.

This was Dave’s first event running the new Kingpin Machine spherical conversion for the EF Civic/CRX/DA Integra front lower control arm.

New Product Development

We are happy to develop spherical bearing applications for the most popular or the most obscure race cars. We have just developed a front lower control arm application for the CB7 Accord (90-93) for a Honda Challenge car. Currently in development is a front radius rod spherical bearing application for the Honda CRX and the CB7 Accord. Both units will utilize bearings from New Hampshire Ball Bearing (NHBB) and will feature an axial load rating of over 9,000 lbs per bearing. Unlike the competition, these bearings will NOT wear out in 2 race weekends!

Customer Feedback

“The car handles better than ever before.  The problem that I used to have is that it wouldn’t hold an alignment, even with the delrin ones [bushings].  Which made it extremely unpredictable, especially under hard braking.  Since I swapped in your pieces, it is absolutely perfect every time, which gives me the confidence to use the whole track and push the car harder than I used to.  I love them.”
