Description: Gambler Chassis Co. designed what would become one of the most popular new outlaw sprint racing chassis designs in decades in 1980. The chassis thoughtfully laid out to be both extremely rigid and modular for repair work or even customization. The success of the Gambler-based cars led to countless copycats and many of the original design features are now standard among modern chassis builders. While Gambler built sprint cars are long out of production, most of those they made are still tearing up the track and are hardly sought after by racers, so when one comes up for sale, it's safe to say that it doesn't stay on the market for very long.
Description: Moto Laverda was an Italian high performance motorcycle manufacturer. Their bikes were held in high regard, and had a reputation for being extremely robust. The roots of the Laverda go back to 1873, when Pietro Laverda started an agricultural engines enterprise in Breganze, Italy. 76 years later, Pietro's grandson founded Moto Laverda, and over the next 20 years, would go on to produce models in different sectors of the market. Off-road, trial and motocross machines were developed in conjunction with other manufacturers, and were successfully raced, but the real development came in street models. From an initial 75cc single, to a 1000cc V6, Laverdas were exciting bikes, but sadly, Japanese competition was ultimately their undoing.
Description: In the early '70s, racing fuels hit the market from several major petroleum refineries to meet the needs of various motorsports. As increasingly higher performance racing engines were developed with higher compression ratios, they needed higher octane fuel to operate. Octane is one of the most significant differences between racing fuel and standard pump gas. The fuel at the corner gas station ranges from 87 to 93 octane, but racing fuel ranges from 100 to 120 octane. While the big brands focused on a few standard blends, indie outfits like Randy's Racing Fuels popped up to create custom blends. After perfecting their 'Formula 69' base, they proceeded to develop the perfect blend of secret spices to give their racing fuels the edge.
