I always loved how my Dad would react to people saying cast cranks are crap. He ran stock 350 Chevy cranks in his dirt track engines for many seasons. He had less problems with them than the Callies cranks he used to use. Ran them to 8,200 during qualifying and 8 during the race, and didn't have a single engine failure related to the crank. The argument could be made that the car was lighter and the rotating assembly was lighter as well, but the last few engines he had dynoed right at 750 hp, and that was in the mid '90s.
