Welcome to the Racing Insider’s Podcast!

Each week, Kate Dillon from Crate Insider and Steve Hendren from Hendren Racing Engines go live on the Crate Insider Facebook page to chat about world events, random things, and to answer tech questions.

This week was full up questions about refreshing, tuning, and the upkeep of an engine. Which is understandable in this seasons state. We have continuing price changes, shipping has been a nightmare at times, and more detrimental is the lack of materials. Racers are having to settle for what is available. No worries though, Kate and Steve give great tips on adjustments and changes.
