GOF CENTRAL 2023
June 20 - 23 I South Bend, Indiana
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!
