AMERICUS, Ga. - Star Racing of Americus was presented with a plaque recently for their nomination as one of the top 100 small manufacturing companies in Georgia for 2011.

Star Racing, a manufacturer of motorcycles and motorcycle parts, was nominated as one of the small Manufacturers of the Year for 2011 by South Georgia Technical College in Americus, Georgia. A small manufacturer is classified as a company with 150 or less employees.

As one of the nominees, Star Racing received a plaque signed by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, and Ron Jackson, Commissioner of the Technical College System of Georgia, which is a sponsor of the Manufacturer's of the Year program.

George and Jackie Bryce, owners of Star Racing, and Derek Churchwell, General Manager of Star Racing were invited to attend a luncheon with the Governor in Atlanta earlier in the year where each manufacturer who had been nominated was spotlighted.

Star Racing was established in 1980 and since that time George and Jackie Bryce's highly successful operation has risen from obscurity to become one of the most successful teams at the race track, winning six NHRA national championships and 78 event wins. They also operate a successful world-wide mail-order parts business with engine building and machine shop services for the racing industry.

Star Racing owner George Bryce explains the benefits of vacuum pumps ...

www.georgebryceonline.com

Vacuum pumps can help you run up to a full tenth quicker...

They make lots of power increases because they allow the top ring to stay sealed longer in the rev range. Many racers think it is because of other reasons, but, truth is, all pistons and rings will lose their seal at some rpm.

This is when the pressure below the ring is greater than the pressure above the ring. When you rev the engine so high that the piston stops at TDC, the ring tries to keep going, losing contact with the bottom of the top ring groove.

So, the vac pump can pull negative pressure on the entire area under the rings. On a Suzuki GS 1150-style engine, this is a ton of area. It includes the tranny area and all space under the cylinder.

What we have found over the years is that the oil system loses PSI at the same rate as the vacuum increases. Vacuum is measured in inches of pressure and the oil system is measured in pounds per square inch. So, the vacuum pump will reduce the oil PSI a little.

SAVE ON A V111 ENGINE!

During the month of September, Star Racing is offering a special deal on our popular natural finished V111 engines. If you are considering the upgrade to a big inch engine or if you are thinking of building a custom bike, now is the time to buy. You'll never get a better price! We'll even throw in a Star Racing T-shirt!

IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE!
The S&S V111 is a "square" engine designed for big torque numbers and top end horsepower. The 4 1/8" stroke is equal to the 4 1/8" bore, which minimizes vibration. The 585 lift S&S® cam and the single coil Sidewinder® valve springs included with the 111 make for a smooth and quiet ride. This torquey engine is ideal for touring applications to make the long ride more enjoyable, even when carrying a passenger.

This is the same engine we offer in our catalog. The price may be lower, but not that legendary S&S quality! Also ask about our T111 engines for 1999-2006 model touring bikes.
