To our racing family that we have grown so close to...we need you now. PLEASE PLEASE pray for our Kaci & Buddy & the "babies"! They were given a lot of bad POSSIBLITIES yesterday. However, I believe that the power of prayer can change "man's possibilities" to God's miracles!!!
And all God's people say AMEN!
Thank you for this.

AKRA BP CLASS (builder prepared}
The intent of this class is to give those who want to make an incremental move up from Box Stock or a change from stock flathead a class of their own with horsepower similar to the flathead "stock" classes that are becoming increasingly expensive. The rules allow a builder into the engine, but are written with the intent of making it possible for the average guy to build his own engine.
How do you stocker guys feel about runing against these engines on non point regular race nights.
Also excluding any other special race night.
BP (Builder Prepared) 6.5 OHV – GASOLINE ONLY 87-93 octane – Approved Engine: 6.5 OHV 196cc clone engine modified only according to BP OHV Engine Spec. Tires are track/series option.

Maximum total lift of .260” to be checked at valve spring retainer with zero lash. Special note. Valve guide wear can give false valve lift readings when checking off the front of the valve spring retainer. It is advised to take readings at several other points around the retainer (back, and both sides) if wear is suspected of giving a false, unfavorable reading. Compression release must remain on the cam. Currently available cams that meet spec: Dyno 216, (others that meet spec are ok)

It's with a painful heart I have to tell you that Obie Osteen passed away this morning. He's Canners dad that walked with a limp. Canner raced in blue plate class with us. Please keep Canner in your prayers...he is only 11 & has already lost both of his parents.
We love you Canner.
