Here's a link to a video of a roundtable from the Engine Technology Expo that was held at Straub Technologies a few weeks ago where they discus the news that CWC Textron is not going to be producing any cast iron camshaft cores for the foreseeable future. They manufacture the cores used by...
I'm looking for a used GM Hot Cam P/N 24502586. Cam doesn't have to be perfect. I need one to use for making a set of masters for my camshaft grinder.
Thanks,

I'd say that the World of Outlaws' measurement makes the most sense as to what distance the car would actually have to travel to get around the track and their speed of 95.4 mph is realistic. Very fast but not over 100 mph average speed.
And they are incorrect about the size of the track. You don't have to believe me just go on Google Earth and use the measuring tool. Get right over the top of the track looking straight down. Carefully measure around the infield wall and then around the outside wall. What you will find is...
