More often than not the only engine feature that a fan sees on the race course is the headers or exhaust system. Few vehicles can demonstrate the sound and function of a thundering set of "pipes" as effectively as hydroplanes; hence the appropriate term "Thunderboats". The people at American Racing Headers recognize the excellent marketing platform that hydroplane racing provides to promote their type of product. Spring boarding off of recent success in the NHRA ranks,  Nick Fillipides has been working with Unlimited Light racing teams to produce the tooling needed to make stainless steel big block and small block hydroplane headers.

Canton Racing Products has been building oil pans and engine related products for racing and high performance applications since 1981. We began in a small Connecticut garage building specialty oil pans for local auto racers.  The unique oil pans provided racers with the power and quality they demanded.  As popularity for the specialty oil pans grew so did our selection of products.

Our production process focuses on accuracy and reliability.  All products are tig welded, rather then mig welded.  The tig welding process takes more time and skill but ensures more even heat and penetration through out the welding process.  This result is better quality welds with less possibility for leaks and cracks. Every oil pan, valve cover, and tank that we produce under goes several leak tests.

We have been actively involved in racing for decades.  To learn about some of our partnerships see our “Trackside” link on our home page.

Finding a company that speaks fluent ‘starter-ese‘ is not  common. Most seasoned marine motorsport racing teams refresh their starter motors during the slower parts of the season. It’s too important to overlook. Fortunately, The Rebuilder of Kent, Washington is an old hand to the special needs of hydroplane racing. Scott Lewsley is well acquainted with the moisture rich environment that a starter occupies in the bilges of race boats. Water is the bane of electrical components. Factor in an awareness of the brutal use boat racing regularly dispenses to just about everything and a very popular experience level is described. (253) 854-0904
