Jason Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Clay had a Mcgunegill Ford sealed engine and Bobby had a Chevy sealed engine. The guy with Mcgunegill was going around advertising his product heavily at the derby. 590hp for under or around 15k.... CRA allows them. I'm pretty sure the AA 400 this year had a sealed engine win it. Maybe that is the way to go instead of crates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_krusty Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 sounds like a cool option to me for the usra series. The only problem is if they are allowed. read somewhere that they are guaranteed for a year and can be purchased at 13500 a year or lease at 7995/ year.

HORSEPOWER Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 At the World Cup at I-70 Speedway in October, the winner Jeff Lane, had a Mcgunegill sealed engine and also broke the track record during qualifying. Landon Casill qualified 13th, finished 5th in a crate. I got this off another site, seems no dominant engine The following is a history of the racing engine wins and poles for the 35 CRA Super Series Sanctioned events from the 2004 and 2005 season to date. These numbers are based upon information provided to the series by teams competing in 2004 and in 2005. This information may not be 100% correct, it is strictly reference material that I wanted to make available to everyone. 9 to 1 motors have won 31 of the 35 races over the 2004 and 2005 season to date, the McGunegill Sealed Engine won the other 4. No other engine combination has won an event. The following is a list of who built the engines that have won the 35 events to date: Tesar - 4 wins Hutter - 4 wins Hamner - 4 wins McGunegill Sealed Engine - 4 wins Harper – 2 wins Pigg – 2 wins Dickens – 2 wins AP – 2 wins T & L - 2 wins Frampton – 2 wins Perf. Tech – 2 wins Crabtree – 1 win Cornett – 1 win SPEC – 1 win Wegner – 1 win Rhyne - 1 win 9 to 1 motors have been the Fast Qualifier at 34 of the 35 events over the 2004 and 2005 season to date, The McGunegill Sealed Engine was the other on October 1, 2005. No other engine combination has been the Fast Qualifier of an event. The following is a list of who built the engines that have been the Fast Qualifiers of the 35 events to date: Hutter – 6 fast times Harper – 5 fast times SPEC – 5 fast times Tesar – 4 fast times T & L – 3 fast times Hamner – 2 fast times Wegner – 2 fast times Rhyne - 1 fast times Dickens – 1 fast time Cornett – 1 fast time Perf. Tech. – 1 fast time AP – 1 fast time Gaerte – 1 fast time McGunegill Sealed Engine – 1 fast time The following Engine companies are either an Award or Contingency Sponsor of the CRA Super Series for the 2005 season: Hamner Racing Engines, A.P. Racing Engines, Phil Harper Motorsports, Tesar Engineering Racing Engines Got this QUOTE from this message board: "Dick Poe - Crane Racing Motorsports is one of those financially challenged teams with only one car and one engine. Our race team traveled 1300 miles or 20 1/2 hours round trip in a Ford pick-up truck to Angola to race in the Hargus Mullins Firecracker 125 that only had 24 cars. Our team tried very hard last winter to land a BIG sponsor to buy a engine from either TEASAR at $40,000 or Hamner at $38,000. Because we have a very young driver with very little experience, we didn't get the sponsorship needed to buy one of those engines. Between two families on our race team, we scraped enough money to buy a McGunegill Engine Performance - sealed engine at $13,500. This year, so far, we have made every points race and gained a lot of experience. It's race teams like ours that don't have the BIG sponosor that need a economic engine to compete with a "GREAT" driver like Scott Hantz who has a great sponsor and team owner. Special thanks to RJ for having the foresite on engine packages to compete on a level playing ground and McGunegill Engine Performance for the economic sealed engine." Do these engines really cost this much? http://p220.ezboard.com/fspeed51shorttrack...picID=744.topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arts22 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 sounds like a cool option to me for the usra series. The only problem is if they are allowed. read somewhere that they are guaranteed for a year and can be purchased at 13500 a year or lease at 7995/ year. Leasing a motor would prob be the way to go. After a season it would cost close to $7k or more to freshin up the motor. Do you know if you blow a motor under the lease if its replaced or do you have to lease another?..... Kinda like nascar, the smaller teams lease motors from the larger teams and if there motors blow they get another, but thats part of the lease agreement!!!!!!!!!!

arts22 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 In the link HP put up. It says the motor is gauranteed. Bobby Blount Stated " Plus, it is a gauranteed engine, if a rod or crank breaks, I dont have to worry about the cost to fix it. That is how great and reliable this package is" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy47 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Looks like a pretty sweet deal to me ! how do they make money doing that ? Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt15 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) im sure theres some small writing at the bottom of that contract. Edited December 9, 2005 by Colt15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy47 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think there would have to be some kind of catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
