Zippy's Injector Hat?

[The Counterfeiter]

I was cruising team sites today and the two hole hat only Mike Neff runs is front and center on JFR site. Think this has been mentioned before, but I don't recall any detailed information. Was it built by JFR and what is the possible advantage?

Jim,

I don't know the full deal behind it, but I can tell you it was built in Europe. Not 100% sure if it was designed too.

Eric had been running it for a couple years. It's nothing new.

Thanks, Paul but I am still interested on why only one of four cars is still running it and . . . as I said, who makes it and details! Jim

I'm trying to remember that guy's name. I know it's got a "K" in it.

They had an entire interview with John Medlen about it when it first came out, must have been late 2005. He said something to the effect of, he thought it was better, and until proven otherwise, he would continue to do so.

Okay, I always thought it was a guy named "Knut" who built those. Looks like he just sold them.

Carlo Gandolfi, owner of C.G.Composites in Northants, England, is pleased to announce a new marketing and distributorship with Darren Mayer Performance Engineering Inc. of Stevensville, Michigan.
C.G. Composites is excited to have a reputable U.S. based company sell and stock the first and highest quality carbon fiber injector hats in the high performance racing market. Gandolfi states, "In previous years, Carbon By Design also know as Knut, sold my product.

Thanks Ron. I'm on the eurodragster site at the moment, going back on old news, I know I only read a few months ago about them being built in Europe. But my eyes are getting sore now trying to find the article. I'll try again later.

I still miss dragsterworld. I guess that one's gone for good. All the threads have been locked since 2006. They've still got a couple pics of me and my bracket dragster at the bottom of this page. DragsterWorld.com - Readers Rides
