My books, dirt racing shocks, weight, and spring stiffness I haven’t blogged on Hogan Technologies consistently for a couple of years now, but I’m having fun with it. This week I’m going to answer some questions I got from some readers and maybe give you some better insight into what Hogan Technologies is all about. […]
I started reading through a thread on a forum speculating why someone left the rivets or bolts out of the area which connects the left side door and the left rear quarter. It was decided that they probably left them out when the car got wrapped and they were never put back in. This could […]
In my last post, I talked about using motion ratios on the front suspension. I thought I would expand on this a little and talk about the different things to consider when mounting your front shocks inboard to protect them from damage. If “X” equals “Y” then the motion ratio is 1:1. If “X” is […]
I love these. The one I’ve only owned two in my twenty plus years of working on this stuff. That’s why I choose Irwin brand. They seem to be a little better quality than all the rest. If you ever need to install switches or lights in panels, these babies are priceless. Easy to keep […]
These handy little gems can be priceless. I like them when drilling holes in aluminum body panels. They not only drill the holes but de-bur it nicely without adding an additional step. They are cheap. I always have a couple of sets floating around. Buy from Amazon
Ok, You may think I’m nuts for this one, but I’m going to save you some headaches, late nights and fists full of your own hair from trying to find leaks from poorly flared brake lines. If you ever plan on building more than one car in your life. Or, you do repair work on […]

Sometimes we get so buried in a project or focused on one small area we fail to recognize the bigger picture. For example. Let’s say we are laying a new walk way from our front porch to the mail box. We start laying the bricks, making sure they are perfectly spaced and even as we […]
Week by week we get ever closer to racing season here in the midwest. Some parts of the country are already racing. For us, we have at least one solid month before we see any track activity and, with the early season rainouts that take place, we might not see the track for a solid […]
Dirt track aerodynamics and spoiler shape Let me start this first attempt by saying I’m here to help you as much as I can. I have a new email address, Kevinlincoln@hogantechnologies.com if anyone would like to email me questions, ideas for me to look at, or things you may have tried in the past. Things […]
People may not think a lot about their hood scoop when it comes to aerodynamics but it really can be a plus in an area that might blow right by you. If you look at the attached pictures of the famous Batmobile most think that it is THE car that set the Dirt Modified Aero […]

This week has been an interesting week in our local racing scene. It seems our local club picked up on my article about the tungsten axle tubes and amended its rule to outlaw all tungsten parts on the car. It’s a good thing. We really don’t need to delve into the world of tungsten. Too […]
How important is the internet to racing sponsorship I went to a Joe Gibbs Oil seminar last week and someone was confused about the name of the blog. They said,”Hogan isn’t your last name is it?” No, actually this is Hogan when we first got him. He’s grown quite a bit since then. He’s no […]
Using motorsports marketing techniques to promote your sponsors brand Companies pay big money for the opportunity to have their name splashed over anything and everything a race team has. So what does a sponsor get for their money? In a simplified view, the company gets introduced to a race team’s tribe. I say race team […]
