Senior Project
Kirby Kennedy grew up around street rods in his hometown of Selmer, Tennessee. His father, David, had several rods and even operated his own shop. Kirby hung around Kennedy’s Kustom Auto Shop and helped with many of the projects. He also learned many of the required skills to build a rod along the way. Once Kirby reached high school, he knew quite a bit about the history of hot rodding and had developed a fondness for traditional hot rods. His school required each graduating senior to complete a project before they reached graduation. While only a sophomore, Kirby decided to build a traditional-styled hot rod.

Driven Racing Oil’s Break-In Oil Kit BR30 5W-30
Driven Racing Oil developed the original high zinc, petroleum and low detergent break-in oil over twenty years ago. Break in oil is a specialty oil that reduces wear and contaminates when breaking in a new high-performance engine. It provides controlled friction for your piston rings and incredible protection that helps your camshafts break in properly.

The Pioneers of Break-In Oil
Driven Racing Oil developed their engine break-in oil to fix the flat tappet camshaft problems they were facing. Just changing to the BR Break-In Oil from off-the-shelf products, we virtually eliminated break-in failures.
The secret to solving the problem was as simple as tailoring the chemistry to meet the application. Driven’s engine shop started to put to the test a new custom oil blend that was specifically optimized for the break-in period. As a result, Driven Racing Oil birthed the first high zinc, petroleum and low-detergent break-in oil to the engine building industry.
