Nevertheless, new technology
is forcing Kroyer to make some
changes, which he likes, and has
already adapted to. "We've been
lucky enough to be part of the
change in the electronic side; fuel
injection and engine management,
as well as in the Turbo 400
development. But as far as new technologies are concerned, I
think that's currently in the types
of materials, and in the new ways
of making designs much easier
to create. There's a lot more
CAD designed products that are
coming into our market that were
not available 10 years ago. This
is helping teams to create lighter weight trucks, where they are
shaving o… a few hundred pounds
here and there. So with a lighter
truck, comes our need to change
power levels," explains Kroyer.
In the drivetrain area, many race
teams are experimenting with
multi-speed gearboxes. This too
is something Kroyer has his eye
