Said Jim, "From the old days of muscle madness, running four abreast for B/Stock wins at Green Valley Raceway, through factory production, Super Stock match racing, Modified Production, and multiple Pro Stock wins to today's current foot brake and stock eliminator demands of dependability and consistency. For every track and national record on land or water for 38 years, I've depended on just any old machine shop I could find to save me a few bucks. WRONG!!! Only Wayne Calvert Precision Engines.
