We have used Richmond Ring & Pinions since 1981 and have never had a failure of any kind. We have adjusted ratios a couple times to fine tune our combination. We do our own gear set-up and have found Richmond Ring & Pinions easy to pattern and maintain very close tolerances when setting pinion depth and backlash. Richmond is a proven product for our racing effort. Whether you ever publish this picture or not is of no major concern, however we will run nothing but Richmond Gear Sets in our racecar. Thanks for a good product that can take the brutal punishment of dragracing and provide years of service without failure or undue wear.
Thanks, Larry W. Moore, Larry "Jason" Moore
