Keep your Legend Car’s Yamaha triple running cool when it counts. We tested five race coolants — SuperCool Extreme, Stay Frosty Race Ready, Ice Water, Engine Ice, and Liquid Performance HP — across paved ovals, dirt, and road courses to see which manage cylinder head temps best and pass glycol-free tech.

If your Legend Car runs the liquid-cooled Yamaha FZ-09/MT-09 triple, coolant is one of the cheapest levers you have on cylinder head temperature. We compare five race coolants across paved ovals, dirt, and road courses: SuperCool Extreme, Stay Frosty Race Ready, Ice Water, Engine Ice, and Liquid Per...

This is what it’s all about. 🏁

We were proud to support the Wall Stadium Legends Summer Slam and give something back to the racers who came out and supported the series.

Congrats to Lucky Fan Racing on the Race 2 Hard Charger, and thank you for the kind words and support of MetJoe’s Race Shop!

Got a delivery this week.

We ended up as the hard charger in race 2 of the summer slam series at Wall Stadium and received a kit of FK Rod Ends and radius rods from MetJoe's Race Shop

Kickers like these parts, other supplies or store certificates really help the smaller teams inventory to keep going and can help increase event car counts when there is more to take home at the end of the race.

The other 2 summer slam series hard chargers were Chevy Rommeney & Tyler Pappas.

Thank you to all those involved in summer slam series.

8” vs. 10” springs — what actually changes? 🏁

Same spring rate doesn’t necessarily mean the same spring.

Our latest Tech Hub article breaks down the real differences between 8” and 10” coil-over springs on a Legend Car — including spring travel, preload, coil bind, shock travel, sprung vs. unsprung mass, and how the choice changes across pavement, dirt, and road-course setups.

The biggest takeaway?

Don’t choose a spring because longer sounds better or lighter sounds faster. Measure the car, understand what it needs, and choose the spring that gives you the right operating window.

Backed by vehicle-dynamics research and real spring specifications.
