Huddleston Performance Introduces Carburetor Sleeves for All
Applications

Huddleston Performance is proud to introduce the latest in
Carburetor Innovations yet again. Our new Carburetor Reducer
Sleeves don't just benefit one group of racers, but rather
cover the entire spectrum of Jr. Dragster Bracket Racing.
Over the course of the last few seasons it has become
increasingly more common for people to need help slowing
there big motors down. In most cases we've had to start by
selling the racer a new 33 Mikuni and then possibly even
selling them the reducer sleeve to further slow their combo.
We've had good success using the 33 Mikuni on literally
everything from our Pea Shooter 12.90 all the way up to our
3 1/2 Heavy (for 8.90!!). All the while it has bothered us
to have to sell someone a new carburetor when they only need
it for slowing down purposes. At some point it became
obvious that the better option for the racer was to just
reduce the size of their existing carburetor. One thing led
to another and now we stock 9 different reducer sleeves for
the 4 most common Jr. Carburetors.
1. 28 mm Mikuni
Reducer Sleeve
This
reducer sleeves a 28mm Mikuni down to 24mm. It's purpose
isn't so much to "slow" an engine down but more to simply
pick up the velocity in the carburetor to make the 28 more
tune-able on 12.90 type motors.
2. 33 mm Mikuni
Reducer Sleeves
The venerable 33 mm carburetor is literally used for every
application one can think of in Bracket Racing. What we've
seen is that there's a need for more than one size reducer
for this carburetor. We now offer them in 28mm, 25mm as well
as 22mm hole sizes. The larger ones seem to work well when
trying to simply take weight off of an 8.90 car. The smaller
ones will do well for various 12.90 type applications.
3. 40 mm Mikuni Reducer Sleeves
We've had a number of 8.90 racers contact us that have
bought some sort of "7.90" motor that's equipped w/ a 40 mm
Mikuni and they need to immediately slow their 400 lb
package by a full second. That can be a tall order without
somehow reducing the output of the engine. Until now we've
only had the option of first selling them a 33 mm carburetor
and then selling them a reducer sleeve for that 33. This
gets pricey quick. We now have reducers for the 40 Mikuni in
36mm, 33mm and 30mm hole sizes. These should work well for
helping to slow a 40 equipped car or can also be useful for
taking some lead off of an overpowered 7.90 car.
4. 42 mm Mikuni Reducer Sleeves
These serve basically the same purpose as the 40 mm
reducers, except they are designed to fit the 42 Mikuni
carburetor. We only offer these in sizes of 36mm and 33mm.
Due to the increased inlet size of the 42 we have some
serious concerns that the 30mm version will lead to an
unfixable stumble. As with everything we sell, we simply
supply product we are confident will help racers win races.
That being the case we only stock 2 sizes for the 42 mm
sleeves, both the 36 mm and 33 mm will help slow your car
down while still maintaining a level of consistency.
All of
these Reducer Sleeves install the same way as our current 33
mm to 28 mm Restrictor Kit, for full installation
instructions
click here. They are very
simple and quick to install, and depending on your
application are very effect in a number of different ways.
As we
pointed out earlier, not only are these great tuning aids,
but they are also a very cost effective means for slowing
down your ride. There are 2 ways of purchasing them, you may
purchase them one at a time for $19.95 or you may purchase a
set of 3 of ANY reducer sleeves for a price of $49.95. That
means if you have 2 different racecars, one with a 42mm
Mikuni and one with a 33mm Mikuni for example, you can
purchase reducer sleeves for both cars in one kit if you
need to!
These
new Reducer Sleeves are a must for anybody trying to slow
down their racecar. Regardless if your 12.90 to 7.90, if you
need to slow your car down call us today to get a reducer
sleeve kit.

"Huddleston Performance Bracket Jr. Championship"
Coming to a Track Near You

Huddleston Performance
is continually trying to find ways to help grow the overall
sport of Jr. Dragster Racing. We have worked hard through
the SEJRA to try to grow the traveling group of racers, and
in 2012 we are turning our attention to helping local tracks
draw more racers. That is why we are proud to announce the
Huddleston Performance Bracket Jr. Championship.
This new Championship
will take the best racers from all over the United States and put them into one race to
crown the best in the south. This new program is designed to
include every single race track,
regardless of NHRA, IHRA, or no sanction. The following is
how the program works:
1. Tracks from all over
contact Huddleston Performance to sign up for the program.
Tracks will pay a small fee to be included, but 100% of that
fee goes into the pot for the race. Huddleston Performance
does not take any money away from this program.
2. Once your local track has signed up,
you simply go run your weekly points each week as you always
would.
3. At the conclusion of the 2012 racing
season, your racetrack submits its Top 4 points earners to
Huddleston Performance. If your track breaks its Jr. Racers
into Age Groups, they are still allotted 4 positions in the
race. In the chance that you run 2 Age Groups, your track
may send the Top 2 points earners from each Age Group. In
the event of 3 Age Groups, you may send your 3 Champions and
the track may decide how they want to select their 4 team
member.
4. Once we have received the Top 4, we
will send out formal invitations to each racer inviting them
to the SEJRA Tindle Enterprises Left-Over Nationals at
Montgomery Motorsports Park to participate in the HP Bracket Jr. Championship race.
5. By qualifying for the race, racers
receive a FREE entry for the Driver and Car for the HP
Championship race. Parents will have to purchase spectators
passes, and tech cards for any additional races run.
6. The Huddleston Performance Bracket Jr. Championship race will be run as a All-Run eve nt
to truly crown a South-East Division Champion. The race
winner will receive a large payday (Purse is already $1,000
W, $250 R/U, and $125 Semi's and gets bigger with every
track that joins.), a Championship Jacket, and a
Championship Trophy.
We currently have a
number of racetracks already committed to this
program for 2012:
Orangeburg Dragstrip - Yemassee, SC
Music City Raceway - Nashville, TN
Montgomery Motorsports Park -
Montgomery, AL
Sand Mountain Dragway - Section, AL
Panama City Dragway - Fountain, FL
U.S. 43 Dragway - Ethridge, TN
Silver Dollar Raceway - Reynolds, GA
We are still in the
early stages of this program. These are the tracks currently
signed on, but we have ongoing talks with many more tracks to add to this list, be sure to check
this list often as it will continue to grow. If you do not
see your local track here and want to be included in this
Championship then please have your local track contact us.
THE SANCTION OF YOUR TRACK DOES NOT MATTER!
We are very happy to
bring this new program to racers all over the south, we hope
this creates a lot of opportunities for local racers to not
only excel on the local level but also to showcase their
talents to the entire South-East. We look forward to 2012
and seeing who is crowned the first Huddleston Performance Bracket Jr. Championship winner.
Quick
Boys Dominate Both Days of Montgomery Super 7 Event
.jpg)
Huddleston Performance would like to send out a HUGE
congratulations to the entire Quick Family Racing operation.
Brody and Kiefer Quick were able to mow through the field of
competition at Montgomery MotorSports Park's Super 7 event.
Not only did they take turns winning, but they raced each
other in the finals both days!
Both Quick boys have complete Huddleston Performance 7.90
Lite Packages. On the first day of action it was Brody
getting the win over brother Kiefer to earn bragging rights.
The very next day they did it all over again, except this
time it was Kiefer taking home the money over Brody in the
final round!
We want to congratulate both boys on an awesome weekend of
racing!
