\u201cWe make lightweight aluminum connecting rods for all horsepower and rpm levels, and when I talk with a customer, I ask about their combination, and I ask for its bob weight, its rpm range and other details that will help us spec connecting rods for them,\u201d said Roberts, who also works with customers in the MGP Connecting Rods display at the annual Performance Racing Industry Show in Indianapolis, Indiana.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cA lot goes into it, and we want to be sure we get our customers exactly what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the partnership between MGP Connecting Rods and Small Tire Pro Stock, all Small Tire Pro Stock racers will be eligible to enter a drawing to win a free set of custom MGP Connecting Rods at the next Small Tire Pro Stock race, which is part of the\u00a0Nostalgia Drag Racing League Hot Rod Nationals presented by Ray Skillman Auto Group, July 10-11, 2026 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cMGP Connecting Rods are used by some of the most accomplished competitors,\u201d said Michigan-based Roberts. \u201cOne of the things they like most about our rods is how we do an extra polish, which reduces stress on the outside of the rods, and removes machine marks and sharpness on the corners.\u201d<\/p>\n
