Valve Cover Races

For more than a century, Indiana  has been home to the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing," the Indianapolis 500. The tradition is carried on at GOF Central 2023! 

​

You won't want to miss the excitement created by the Valve Cover Racing heats as we race to crown  a champion.

​

Indiana - where the racing tradition lives on!

Tech Session/Clinic

Valve Cover Races will be held on Thursday afternoon in our conference area.  Prior to the races there will be a Tech Session held by Lee Jacobsen of the Michigan T-Club.  This is a hands on tech session and Lee will discuss basic and advance  VCR design and answer any questions you may have.

​

The cost of the Clinic is free.  Also, the first eight people who bring their own valve cover (to Lee at the time of the clinic) will receive a free chassis and axles and will learn how to attach their valve cover. 

 

A note from Lee:  Bring your own wheels. Inside Diameter should be 5/16" to 3/8", Outside Diameter 6" (Check out Amazon). Shopping cart wheels, pulleys, the options are wide open. Drag and friction are your enemy.  Any Questions - email Lee at diecuts@aol.com

​

All are welcome to attend the clinic to watch and learn valve cover racing tips from Lee!
