Article by Jeff Ladd of Sports Insurance Specialists I opened Sports Insurance Specialists (SIS) in 2011 with one clear mission in mind — to offer every person involved in motorsports — tracks and owners; drivers and crews; spectators, and vendors — a more customized, comprehensive, competitive, and personalized approach to participant and spectator risk management. I cut my teeth on the big-name insurance providers, but soon realized that being bigger doesn’t always cut it when real risk hits the dirt. That became the catalyst behind SIS — a smaller, nimbler, more responsive insurance machine, driven to help the real participants win versus the big moneymakers pocketing more for doing less. Racing teams, tracks, and events vary widely across the types and terrains that define their classifications. At SIS, we’ve developed a core strategy that allows insureds to better understand and define the coverages that they need. To that end, we are strategically aligned with some of the best world-class insurance underwriters, recognized for their strength and ability to back up their promises. That means every SIS policy is backed by A-plus XV-rated carriers, while remaining flexible enough to provide more inclusive coverage for all entities involved. Yes, risk happens — but our mission and motto are to help our clients “kick some risk.” We get it. No one likes talking about insurance — it’s seldom the most exciting part of racing, but is arguably one of the most important. Our proactive approach covers race teams, associations, sponsors, facilities, and events on a nationwide and international basis.

In early 2020, we partnered with The World of Outlaws, DIRTcar Racing, Agajanian & Anthony, and Dr. Jack Faircloth to launch the “Return to Racing Initiative,” several carefully constructed guidelines to help tracks reopen and promote safe racing for every participant, whether they be on the track or in the stands. We’re in this with everyone to the finish line. One more thing — our specialty line of insurance for drivers and crewmembers, called Competitive Advantage Program, or CAP, provides a solid base of insurance coverage with minimal restrictions and an intentionally affordable annual premium. The program’s $500,000 full excess accident medical expense coverage extends beyond a driver’s or crewmember’s personal participant health insurance and the track’s participant accident coverage. CAP has no age limits; $10,000 accidental death and dismemberment; discount packages for members with safety equipment; and a full two-year benefit window to betcontinued on page 20

What Are Staggered Rear Brakes? Staggered brakes have nothing to do with tire stagger or staggered wheels. Tire stagger puts smaller diameter tires on the left side of the car in circle track racing to make it turn easier. Staggered wheels put wider or larger diameter tires on the back of the car compared to the front. So, what are staggered brakes? Staggered brakes mount one caliper in front of, and one behind the axle. This has everything to do with staggered shock absorber mounting, which puts one shock in front and one behind the rear axle. Wilwood makes about 15 different rear brake kits that are staggered. Staggered Shocks — What Are They and Why? Shocks that are staggered mount one to the front of the rear axle and one behind, and depending on the design of the suspension, can interfere with brake caliper mounting. Staggered shock mounting is fairly common on cars and trucks with rear leaf spring suspensions even today. First-generation Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs, and related vehicles varied year by year, and sometimes just based on original engine and transmission options, so Wilwood created kits for both standard and staggered designs. When the first Camaros and Firebirds rolled out of Detroit in 1967, both rear shock absorbers were mounted ahead of the axle. Buyers, and dealer service de-

partments, quickly learned that enthusiastic applications of the throttle would cause “tire hop” and, often time, broken parts. The issue was that the rear axle would rotate opposite of what the rear wheels were doing, causing the leaf spring to deform to an S-shape. Then the tires would lose traction, the spring would snap back, the tires would bite, and it would all happen again. The quick fix, applied in ‘67 as a running change on the assembly line, was a “radius rod” or traction bar, running parallel to the leaf springs on higher-performance cars. From 1968 onward, Chevy and Pontiac moved the driver-side rear shock absorber behind the axle, while the other side stayed ahead. Now when the spring deformed, it was extending one shock, and when it bounced back, it extended the opposite one, damping the axle wrap. This fixed the wheel hop so well that Ford engineered a staggered setup for higher-powered 1968 Mustangs and included it in the “Competition Suspension” option on later-year cars. All of the second-generation F-body and Mustang II cars used staggered shock mounting. How and why did it work? The new location and angle of the shock allowed it to dampen, somewhat, the forces twisting the spring around the axle. The damping was enough to stop the harmonics of the spring, tire, and traction from amplifying continued on page 26

Fuel class as they should. We embarked on a new class of sensor that would outperform the older sensors at the 11,000-horsepower range, which is now normal in Top Fuel. It needed to out-survive every sensor that anyone ever built and respond faster than ever, plus continue the accuracy traceable to NIST in Washington D.C. A couple years ago, the Super Series sensors were born after two years of redesigns, extensive metallurgical research, and field testing, again and again. Now we have another two years of competition performance under our belts, and the proof is in. The Super and Super-X Series sensors are the talk of the track! The Top Fuel teams report an average 80-run service life before any failures, and thermal sensitivity is described as “best ever.” Pro-Mod guys have yet to have failure this year and Alco-

was originally designed for the extreme requirements of hard-working pickup truck owners and the off-roading mavericks that demand ultra-high performance from their truck bed and underbody vehicle coatings. POR-15 OEM bed liner has found new applications by savvy users, from an anti-slip surface coating to sound and vibration damping. POR-15 bed liner has now been used on metal truck beds, rocker panels, bumpers, transport trailers, trailer decks, bulkheads, boat docks, fiberglass, tractor beds, toolboxes, running boards, and work van floors. When it comes to protecting a truck bed, there is no comparison. Drop-in liners crack and fracture, allowing moisture through and trapping it. By the time owners are aware of the situation, there is usually a fair amount of rust damage. Replacement costs and remediation, at that point, are unnecessarily high. We recommend owners regularly check their drop-in liners and remove them at the first sign of a fracture or crack. To remediate rust and damage, owners should use our POR-15 Stop Rust System as a base coat for the POR-15 OEM bed liner. This will ensure the rust will be taken care of permanently! There is nothing easier to apply on the market; our OEM bed liner is made of a UV-safe, waterproof, and impactresistant rubberized formula that can be rolled on, brushed, or sprayed on with a Schutz gun. Best of all, our water-based formula is environmentally friendly, with low VOCs, and is made with recycled rubber content from old tires. Many

each other by being near the same frequency. Why not move both shocks behind the axle? Because axle wrap can occur when you step on the brakes as well, only in the opposite direction. If you have upgraded your rear suspension with traction bars, modified leaf springs, or a control arm and coil spring setup, there is no longer any need for staggered shocks. In fact, many aftermarket rear suspension systems require moving the shocks, because they can be in the way otherwise. Many pickup trucks, SUVs, and vans using leaf springs still employ staggered shocks to reduce axle wrap and wheel hop. But on most of these, the shocks are mounted inboard the leaf springs, so they don’t have much effect on the brake caliper.

them. But because of the optional nature of staggered shocks on some models and year-to-year changes, they engineered the same kits in normal, non-staggered installation as well. This is one of the many reasons Wilwood rear kits are sold based on rear axle flange and offset and not just make, model, and year like Wilwood front kits. What is the difference between the staggered and normal kit? There actually is not much difference in most kits, except for the caliper bracketry and/or parking brake backplate. In a regular kit, the brackets are mirror images of each other. In a staggered kit, both brackets are almost the same part, because you install it reversed on one side, to move the caliper to the reversed side of the axle. So, if you are working on a classic car/truck with leaf springs, take a look underneath and make a note of whether it has staggered shocks or not. Keep that information in mind as you measure the axle flange and offset, and shop for rear kits. Find Wilwood’s staggered brakes and other products at Booth #809.
