Surprisingly, Offenhauser pistons listed in the current Speedway catalog are a lot cheaper than their own brand. I think they may be pricing the Offenhauser's to get rid of them to make room for their own brand. There might be an opportunity here. I don't really know anything for certain, just something to think about.
