A Kalamazoo, MI racer added a $20,000 racing engine to his list of winnings during Engine Pro’s Engine Giveaway presented by Dart Machinery at US 131 Motorsports Park in Martin, MI on September 12, 2009, during the Fifth Annual IHRA Funny Car Nationals. Justin Wanamaker’s name was the last one remaining as names of the other 19 top-ten racers in points standings in both the Top ET and Modified classes were pulled from the hat. Runners-up received free racing fuel.
Wanamaker’s new engine was assembled by Performance Engineering Racing Engines in Jenison, MI, using parts and components supplied by Dart Machinery, Melling Performance, JE Pistons, ARP, Hastings Racing, Oliver, Ferrea, Comp Cams, Scat, Clevite, Victor Reinz, Stef’s Performance and Pro Finish Powder Coating.
Engine Pro has announced that another racing engine will be given away at the Martin track in 2010.
