Just Turn Left

The current issue of Circle Track magazine, a US publication that focuses on racing technology, is showcasing the efforts of Mac's Super Late Model Series driver Grant Brown. But it is not his on-track exploits that are getting the attention of the editors.

The article in the magazine's monthly Quick Tech section is checking out the technology under the hood of the #36 Madco Motorsports Buffalo Aerial Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Brown and his Red Deer, AB based company, Madco Machine have developed a new stud and fastener system that is now available to racers across the country.

The Madco Fasteners line of products are based on a patent-pending design that features fasteners that snap onto the end of a standard ratchet wrench without the need for a socket.

The Ratchet Fit Fastener is a combination of the socket and the nut in a single piece of hardware that can be quickly attached or safely removed with just a ratchet drive or extension.

The replacement nuts for valve covers, carburetors and gear covers are made at the Madco Machine manufacturing facility in Red Deer, AB.

Look for Madco Ratchet Fit Fasteners in Orlando, FL on December 10-12 at the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show, the world’s largest Racing Trade show.

Closer to home, the Madco Fasteners are available in Calgary at Evolution Racing Products, online at www.MadcoFasteners.com and other major performance parts distributors and retailers.

The January 2010 issue of Circle Track magazine, that gives a nod to the Mac's Late Model Tour in the article, is now available at news stands and will be available on a delayed publication schedule on the magazine's website at www.CircleTrack.com .
