Grand National Steel Hubs

The industry standard since 1975, our Grand National Steel Front and Rear Hubs are the most reliable hub assemblies that you can put on your car for tracks one mile or under. They are made from the same forging as our Sprint Cup hubs with the same exactin

Std is 5x5, optional is 5x4.75 & 5x5.5

I will footnote the post above with mentioning that one of the Locos Mocos on my first trip South with them had a brand new Speedway Engrg built floater 9" under his FSB. On the side of the road within long range sight of San Juanico to the North one chief fabricator guys welded it back together with a flux-core spool gun running off of several loaned batteries.
The rest of us were standing in the sun getting really thirsty. Along comes the Tecate flatbed delivery truck.......

Only in Baja can you trade a stack of racing stickers for a flat of Tecate. Good thing our crew chief had a lot of limes in his truck.

Schneider makes hubs. I have them on the rear end.

Am I reading that wrong? These bearings are only good for a track that it one mile or under?

I think the wording is misleading. Because those hubs are on the Grand National full-floater which is advertised for a number of different applications which include stuff that doesn't go on roundy-round tracks .

I also suspect that it might be worded that way to differentiate it from the "Super Speedway" parts, which presumably are designed for higher speeds on longer tracks.

Todd & I have discussed these parts in the past, but they do fail my COTS preference for this particular project. However, I think that they're ideal for something like like phred's Pro Touring project.
Although I've long had a burning desire to build a project around using Wide-5 hubs like: https://1speedway.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=81 or: https://www.joesracing.com/product/joes-wide-5-accelerator-hubs/ Doubt that they're strong enough for off-road use, but a Pro Touring something on them would be very cool. Finding small wheels (say under 10" wide!) to fit is the bigger challenge.

ETA: 15x8, 5" BS: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Aero...Wheel-SP-5-on-WIDE-5-BP-5-Inch-BS-,92062.html So I guess it's not that hard to find a decent wheel for the Wide-5 hubs.

Totally fails the COTS desire, but these are interesting:
