You must be a Petty fan!! The Mark Thomas motors are 15,500 rpm, I think. We find a little variation in the motors, but not really a lot. For cheap Chinese motors, they are fairly consistent.
The bracket guys add a bit of weight to the H&R chassis, but they do not allow added on brass pans like we run on our outlaw cars. They allow some weight under the side kick ups, but not under the center frame portion. All cars require a full interior. The trick seems to be a heavy car that corners pretty easy. With out excess weight and optimum gearing the cars would run a second or better per lap. The heavy car is a plus for this kind of racing. You actually are taking speed out of the car. On the king I like most of the weight on the right side of the frame. I don't know if that is really any advantage, the other guys still beat me pretty regular on our play nite!!
