2011 Hyper 600cc Panhard Bar Car
We have made some small tweaks to the 2011 panhard bar car. The wing positioning has been improved as well as some of the components have been redesigned. We are considering redesigning the body, but time is not on our side, stay tuned.
One thing we do every year is look for ways to make our cars lighter without sacrificing durability. Each year from 2007 to 2011 we have consistently, each year, made our cars lighter. In fact we have lightened our cars by more than 45 pounds since 2007. Just ask Jeff Hartman the difference between his 2008 and his 2010 car both in weight and performance. Although the frames have remained basically the same, the components have changed dramatically. Keep that in mind over the winter when getting a new or used car, or even just consider lightening up your car by replacing some of the components. I have a list of some of the components and their weight savings on our website under the tech section, it is titled Weights.


2011 Hyper 600cc Preview
We have made a huge addition to the 2011 Hyper Chassis line up.
Are you sitting down?
A completely new design frame and suspension will be added to our 2011 600cc stable. I say "added" because we are still going to build, promote, and race our proven dominating 600cc chassis design. The new option will be a w-link/Jacobs ladder design. That’s right, two different chassis designs will be available for 2011. Both designs have their advantages; we just want to dominate in every arena.

The Hyper w-link design is superior to the competition as a result of our unique layout that offers an increase in rear weight bias. Rear weight bias is of course the best way to increase forward drive. More weight on the rear wheels enables them to have a higher coefficient of friction (Traction). Our w-link chassis will offer all of Hyper’s innovative features you have come to worship:

  • Adjustable pedals
  • Adjustable steering
  • Optional adjustable seat height
  • Easy slide engine mount
  • Wide cockpit
  • Internal wing slider
  • HBS components
  • 7” rear shocks
  • Fuel Forward tank tail (designed by Hyper, now duplicated)
  • Horizontal front mount radiator (keeps the heat off the driver and the engine cool)
  • HBS dual piston front caliper
  • Unparalleled service and support

    We are taking orders for the w-link chassis, the first batch is already sold out, please do not wait.

    I will be racing one of these cars at the Lanco Labor day race. We invite you to come check it out.

    The question of the hour for those current owners of panhard bar Hypers is "Can we convert a panhard bar car into a w-link car, and vise-versa?" They are two totally different frame designs. We can not modify a panhard bar frame into a w-link frame, since we are unable to get the arm lengths, rack height, or the w-link location correct without major scrapage. Your best solution is to buy our W-Link Conversion Kit. It includes the bare w-link frame, w-link, rear axle, bearing carriers, brake floater with torque rod, and 2 torsion arms. Call for pricing.


    2010 Hyper 270 Dominates
    Mike Rutherford has been nothing but dominant in his new 2010 Hyper down tube 270 chassis. In his limited race schedule this season in the Ken Kaylor owned car, Mike has a three wins, one 2nd and one 3rd place finish. These results must also be coupled with the 12th place starting position that Mike has to start in from not having a point average. Mike stated “this car drives off the turn incredible and I can pass people at will”.

    When are you going to get yours?


    Californication
    Chris Hinkle, just 20 years of age, won his first race in a Hyper in just 7 races. He races Delta Speedway in Stockton CA in a land where he is the only Hyper Chassis. Keep up the great work Chris.



    New! Bearing for 2" Rear Axle
    We just recieved a limited supply of our new 2" bearing for the 2" rear axle. This is a custom made double wide angular contact bearing with a grease fitting made to fit the 2" rear axle using a splined insert. This is a must have if you run a 2" rear axle as the normal bearings are only lasting around 15 races. $39.00, please call the shop to order.


    Free Gallon On The House!
    Did you know that you can fill up your fuel jug with pure methanol at Hyper Racing? To promote our fuel sales throughout the month of August, you get 1 free gallon of fuel for every 4 gallons purchased, or 5 free gallons when you purchase a drum.


    Kassidy Michael puts the Hammer Down in the Hyper Quarter Midget

    Quarter Midget Racing has a bright star in eight-year-old Kassidy Michael from Manheim, PA. Kassidy's dad, Matt, took her to her first race when she was five. She wanted to race. Of course Dad's eyes lit up (he is a former racer)!
    Kassidy is currently in her third year of Quarter Midget racing. Her home track (asphalt) is in Honeybrook, PA (DQMRC) where she competes with her Hyper Quarter Midget in Jr. Honda (currently leading the points) and Lt. 160. She also races dirt at Linda's Speedway where she competes in Sr. Honda and Lt. 160 classes. She has also raced at many other tracks.

    Kassidy's honors include winning a Sponsor Cup as a Jr. Novice, as well as many heat and feature wins. Her most memorable racing moment was winning her first States Race in Jr. Honda this May in Syracuse, New York. She also got the opportunity to race at Mini Indy for the Eastern Grands.

    Racing is important to her, but she knows that school always comes first and that hard work and dedication pays off. Reading and Science are her favorite subjects. Kassidy also enjoys playing sports, soccer being her favorite which she plays year-round with PA Classics, a premiere team. Friends and family play a big part in her racing where she receives a lot of support. Traveling to different tracks also gives her the opportunity to meet many neat kids and their families.

    Kassidy is very thankful to Hyper Racing, Mike Dicely and especially Chris Snyder. She also thanks Doug Michael of Hollinger's Sports N' Turf, Elite Energy, HE Performance and HammerDown Engines for the awesome power. And of course thanks to Mom and Dad. You can follow Kassidy Michael at www.hammerdownengines.com

    Hope Through Compassion International
    When we find something good, we need to claim it and tell about it.

  • Tech Department Quick Hits
    Here is an alternative to sending your nozzles into us to get professionally cleaned. Use 602-6045 Fuel Injector Pulse Tester to pulse the nozzles while back flushing them.

  • Connect the pulser to a 12v battery and the injector and begin pulsing
  • Use an air hose with a rubber tip pressed onto the outlet side of the nozzle to blow back through the nozzle while pulsing it.
  • Spray injector cleaner, brake clean, or carb cleaner.
  • Use the air hose to blow backwards and then forwards several times to work out and dirt.
  • Drip air tool oil (no other oil will work, we have tried them all) into the inlet side of the nozzle
    Pulse nozzle
  • Use air hose to force the oil through the nozzle. If air tool oil is not used, the nozzle will stick and not pulse.

    We recomend pumping gasoline through the whole fuel delivery system to winterize it. Gasoline is a petroleum product so it acts as a lubricant to preserve the engine, injector nozzles, pump, and the entire delivery system, enabling the components to last longer and not corrode when the alcohol evaporates.


    Take time to have us dyno your shocks. It can save you many headaches. Shocks contribute a lot to the handling of your race car. If you do not know exactly what is on your car, it is as bad as not knowing what compound tire you have on.Shock Technology Sheet

  • The Way
    God does not want to weigh you down with guilt but to set you free. The most repeated command in the Bible is "Do Not Fear". God does not want us to worry but to realize that he is so much bigger than us. Trust that he has it all under control. Jesus asks "who has added one hour to their life by worrying?". Living in the present moment, in the here and now, aligned with Gods world instead of in our own world in our own mind is where you find true happiness, peace and freedom.

    Power Commander AutoTune Module
    Don't have a dyno tuning center nearby? Want to have the perfect tune every time you race? The AutoTune kit monitors the fuel mixture (by installing the included Wide Band O2 sensor in the exhaust). It then sends this information to the connected Power Commander V and automatically corrects the map while you race. Each AutoTune system sold by Hyper Racing has been preset by our technicians to proper Air/Fuel ratio values for methanol burning engines by make. This lets you simply plug in the unit and let it do the work. You will need to weld in an oxygen sensor bung (included). Our AutoTune units are set up by Hyper Racing to only start tuning once the engine has reached the proper water temperature; this eliminates false reads by the sensor. For advanced users that would like to change the Air/Fuel ratio settings from our baseline, they are fully adjustable. Each throttle opening/rpm combination is individually adjustable. The amount the system can change the map is also fully adjustable. You can also view the changes that Auto Tune is making, then accept the changes to modify the base map, from there AutoTune will continue to make changes.
