Oval Track Release Brng

The Oval Track Release Bearing by RAM Clutch is an essential component for serious oval track racers and high-performance street machine enthusiasts pushing extreme clutch loads. This precision-engineered bearing isolates the clutch fork and pressure plate assembly, allowing consistent engagement and disengagement even under aggressive launch conditions and sustained lateral g-forces typical of dirt track and asphalt oval racing. Whether you're competing in sprint cars, modified stocks, or late-models, a quality release bearing directly impacts throttle response, shift quality, and clutch longevity under abuse.

RAM Clutch engineered this oval track release bearing with a sealed bearing design that resists contamination from oil mist, fuel residue, and heat soak common in race environments. The bearing operates on a smooth, low-friction race-grade ball race construction, reducing input shaft side loads and minimizing chatter or judder during partial throttle transitions. At 3.45 lbs, the compact form factor (6.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches) fits tight engine bays and integrates seamlessly with RAM's full clutch system lineup, delivering repeatability lap after lap without drift or wear-induced play that compromises launch consistency.

Racers upgrading to a multi-disc or solid-hub clutch package will find this bearing essential for reliable pedal feel and predictable bite point. Installation pairs with RAM Clutch pressure plates, flywheel combinations, and OEM-style or aftermarket clutch forks across most V8 and small-block platforms common to oval track builds. For drivers chasing consistency on the line, eliminating bearing slop translates directly to repeatable launch RPM and cleaner weight transfer through technical corners where clutch modulation becomes critical.
