Riding with a well know speedway name, Steve Conway with his 18 year old LJ torana, at BIS speedway where there is a great battle of holden v’s ford:

Mr Conway tests and puts clarkos performance parts to the test just about each week.

The throttle sponge is a unique product. I developed it as there has been a demand for a form of traction aid in the legal form. There are many ways to aid in traction. You can electronically control through msd or wheel sensors. Thees may be great means but, they sure hit the pocket book hard. The throttle sponge takes care of the problem right at the carb. It slow and softens the reaction to the gas pedal. It is very cheap for the gains. You can spend thousands for traction control or under 60 dollar you could knock a couple of tenth of a second off lap times. The nice part of the sponge is if you get to a track where you don’t want it on you can move a clip and turn it off as if you have a solid linkage. Not only can you turn it off you can change the amont of sponge you are getting. The most important part of the sponge is to adjust the proper amont of return spring strength. My spring that I put in there is designed for the standard 2 springs that are available at most auto parts stores. This will determine how fast it react.This product has been used on both east and west coast of Australia. It is also available been used all over the USA. At the present time www.clarkosperformance.com is making and selling the throttle sponges.

Clarkos Performance has exclusive access to After market holden red cylinder heads

Cast iron XU-1 heads have been fetching a premium on eBay and finally someone has been motivated enough to make new castings. Aussies are world renown for their resourcefulness and Ian “Moo” Moodie is one of our quiet acheivers who grew up under the influence of engine builder Ron Richards at the Brisbane Engine Centre. Just a couple of the customers who “Moo” has ported heads for while at BEC were the XU-1 heads that went onto the late Grenville Anderson’s XU-1 speedway torana as well as the Cleveland heads that went onto Dick Johnson’s blue and green falcons.

Rather than duplicating the XU-1 castings exactly with all their inherent design flaws, “Moo” has improved the head so there is 1/4″ of metal under the water jacket and beside the intake port. The intake ports are modelled after the best flowing red head Ian has ever done. Already there are currently 15 customers waiting (as per March 2009) to hand over $3500 (excl.GST) for the finished heads. Geoff Truscott, who is doing the machine work, is held in high regard by many for his quality workmanship. The heads are cast in Queensland with the factory part number and are indistinguishable from the original.

“Moo” was behind some killer Ultraflow Ford manifolds a few years ago. If you have got a Ford powered by a 250 six, a second-hand Ultraflow manifold is still a magic bit of gear. Locally Brett Mathews uses an Ultraflow manifold with a Steve Gay ported stock valved head in the Outlaw speedway class to lap $20’000 metho burning V8′s. Brett’s cast pistoned 250 bottom end comes from the wreckers and has done about 100’000kms. The Ford six with a Pipemax designed 6 into 1 set of extractors has one of the most unusual, distinctive and beautiful exhaust I have even heard.
