Can't be for the Chassis Builder to the Stars. I don't use those motor brackets anymore.

Congrats to Willy Custer, Eric Gehrken(2), and Cap Henry, on their 4 wins, sweeping the weekend at the two races, this past weekend, at the ORS and Retro East races, at HMS Speedway, and Speedzone, using the C/R Versa-bracket, in their Bartos, Gehrken, and Henry built chassis.
Willy and Cap also TQ'ed in their wins, and Eric TQ'ed in one of his two wins.
"C/R Versa-bracket, the one top chassis builders, who are also top racers, (pay for and) use in their personal race cars".

Super big congrats to Cap Henry, Bud Bartos, Ricky Bennardo Jr., Willy Custer, Will Brinkley, Al Rutti, Ross Scharf, George Katzakis, and Gil Patasky on their wins and podium finishes at Retro racing's biggest race of the year, R4/10.
The above 9 drivers used the C/R Versa-bracket on their Bartos, Cap Henry and GVP chassis.
Big thanks to those chassis builders on choosing it.
The C/R Versa-bracket won 5 of the 6 classes,(all but GTC-FK) and sweeping the podium on 3 of them.
It also took 14 of the 18 total podium spots.

Swiss,
If you look carefully at Rick Jr's F-1 I used two of your brackets in the rear to make it stronger. That is the same car he ran last year with a puppy dog motor and finished 3rd, also the same car he won the warm up race with also. I also ran this chassis in our weekly races for months before letting Ricky take it. Doubling the motor bracket eliminated bending and motor droop.
Always remember stronger is better. LOL
Regards,
GVP
P.S. That same CL body has been on that car it's entire life.

Yes, I noticed the doubled sides.
Good idea.
At the Sano, in F1, using the R4/9 TQ car, I bought from Cap, I had an axle tube shift on the .032" thick, non C/R bracket.
I was able able to fix it between the B and A Main.
I was kind of lucky of to qualify in the B, because it gave me a chance to find that issue, along with the skirts getting sucked in, on the BRM body, when I added axle collars.
With the skirts trimmed off, I was able to snag fast race lap by a few thou over the guys who finished ahead of me, Matt and Howie.
BTW, I almost said 14 2/3 brackets were used in the 18 total podium spots.
Yes, with a nice pull, a body will last a long time.

With the success of Dom Luongo at Retropalooza, there has been increased interest in my wide motor bracket.
With having to do a new batch, I've had Geary redesign it slightly,shortening it, to match the bracket face to axle centerline distance, of the JK, and my .75" and 1" brackets.
Retail is $12.00.
You should start to see them in some of the chassis from one of Retro racing's premier builders, in the near future.

A motor is only as fast as the chassis it's in.
