Active Off-Road Bumpstops: More Control for the Trail

Ever since Timbren Industries first intro duced Active Off Road Bumpstops, they c o n t i n u e t o g r o w i n p o p u l a r i t y a n d d e m a n d A n d i t ’ s n o w o n d e r Customers who are replacing their fac t o r y i n s t a l l e d b u m p s t o p s w i t h Timbren’s Active Off Road Bumpstops say that they do two things for their off road vehicle:

1) They improve ride quality and ensure reliable performance

2) They increase overall control of the vehicle, creating a safer off road experience

How do they improve the ride?

Active Off Road Bumpstops are basical ly Aeon® hollow rubber springs, the same rubber springs you’ll find in most Timbren products, including Timbren SES and the SEMA Award Winning Axle Less trailer suspension Aeon springs have a progressive spring rate that can absorb the energy created when the vehicle bottoms out Unlike the stock bump stops that come with your vehi c l e , e a s y t o i n s t a l l A c t i v e O f f R o a d Bumpstops are hollow inside, designed to absorb shock, softening the impact. N e e d l e s s t o s a y , t h e y a l l o w f o r a s m o o t h e r r i d e w h e n t h e y g e n t l y engage with the axle in a reliable and predictable way

How do they increase overall control of the vehicle?

Aeon hollow rubber springs not only smooth out the ride, they make off roading safer by providing better han dling of the vehicle. Normally, a sudden jolt to the vehicle when it runs into a large obstacle on the trail can send the

SATA X-nozzles

Take Atomization to a New Level

With the SATAjet X 5500, the German pre mium manufacturer SATA complements its product portfolio with an innovative high performance spray gun defining a whole new application standard for future based on the X nozzle system.

The concept of this nozzle system is easy and straightforward Painters now have a choice between two distinct spray fan shapes: “I” and “O” in both application technologies HVLP and RP

What is different with the X nozzle s y s t e m ? “ O ” n o z z l e s h a v e a n o v a l shaped spray fan pattern with a larger dry zone and a wet core to accommo date increased application speed, at the expense of slightly less application con trol during the painting process The film build per coat in comparison to an “I” nozzle of the same size is slightly higher “I” nozzles instead have a parallel spray fan pattern with a minimal dry zone and a dryer center which is ideal for painters preferring a reduced appli cation speed and maximized applica t i o n c o n t r o l d u r i n g t h e p a i n t i n g process. The film build per coat in com parison to an “O” nozzle of the same size is slightly reduced

NHRA Champion Antron Brown Warns Congress That Motorsports Is at Risk

Just days after winning the prestigious NHRA U S Nationals Top Fuel Race in Indianapolis, Ind., Antron Brown made his way to Washington, D.C., to urge Congress to pass the SEMA supported R e c o g n i z i n g t h e P r o t e c t i o n o f Motorsports (RPM) Act On Wednesday, September 7, 2022, the three time Top Fuel world champion who began his r a c i n g c a r e e r n e a r l y 4 0 y e a r s a g o appeared before Congress to share per sonal stories about the need for federal law to protect grassroots racing and tens of thousands of jobs in the motor sports parts industry.

With his wife, Billie Jo, and two sons, Anson and Adler, Brown shared how motorsports taught him to set goals, work hard to achieve them, and o t h e r i m p o r t a n t l i f e l e s s o n s

Representing a four generation family of racing professionals, Brown talked about how he began racing motorcy cles at the age of 4, has enjoyed a suc cessful career with 70 NHRA wins, and became a team owner earlier this year. He continues to support and promote the NHRA to the community and youth g r o u p s , r e l a y i n g t h e o r i g i n s o f t h e organization that was formed in 1951 to get hot rodders safely off the streets and onto the track

“Racing is much more than just a pastime for me,” said Brown. “I have c o u n t l e s s f o n d c h i l d h o o d m e m o r i e s and have learned many life lessons at the racetrack I have built a life on the t r a c k a n d a m b u i l d i n g a b u s i n e s s through AB Motorsports I feel strongly that we must keep the path to entry into motorsports accessible to future racers ”

Brown explained that for amateur racers, modifying production vehicles is the only, cost effective way to get into racing. He testified that the converted motorcycle that he began racing cost about $5,000; a purpose build vehicle would have been 10 times that amount

“For nearly 45 years, the Clean Air Act did not apply to dedicated race vehicles The EPA’s recent interpreta tion of the law has thrown the motor sports industry into a state of uncer tainty,” said Mike Spagnola, President and CEO of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA). “Now that t h e S e n a t e E n v i r o n m e n t a n d P u b l i c Works Committee has held a hearing on the RPM Act, we urge the commit t e e t o s c h e d u l e a v o t e o n t h e b i l l
