Was there Saturday night and Jett was running the McGunegill Equalizer Spec motor with crate weight and carb. The McGunegill Spec motor has 590 h.p.

I was the pits and Jett was running the McGunegill Equalizer Sealed motor with crate weight and carb. Those motors dyno at 590 h.p. Might need to moniter that a little more.

You have no idea what you are talking about

The motor Kurt was running in Lake City was a crate motor he is running in Bristol this weekend.

Just a thought but do you think they might have more then one motor? Thats the same car and motor they ran at SGMP with and they made him run a 2bbl. and lke 2850 pounds. This was never directed to single him out all I'm saying is in the future just because the valve covers say McGunegill doesn't mean its a crate motor. I just thought there should have been a little more tech on the carbs. Crate motors don't turn 8 grand.

[Tim]

Thank you 91 you are correct.

[Tim]

To clarify, Kurt was running a Phil Harper ASA certified crate motor at Columbia last Saturday. He did run a DeWaine McGunegill sealed (spec) engine at South Ga. 2 weeks prior. Maybe you had your racetracks mixed up? Anyhow, good luck this weekend Kurt!

How are crate engines teched at your facility?

Crate Tech

They must still be trying to figure it out Hitman.

[Tim]

Thats a pretty broad question, typically we go by ASA Tech procedures. If you have a more specific question I can refer you to our tech man. Sorry for the delay in responding.

[Hitman17]

Thanks for the reply Tim. We've been considering rounding up a few folks and making a trip to CMP but was simply looking for some clarification of the rules beforehand.

ASALMS keeps a record of specially numbered seals issued through their certified builders that are installed on the engines in addition to the factory issued seals. ASA generally doesn't "open" these motors because of this. We have however, been subject to carb, cylinder, vacuum, compression checks etc..

A more specific question would be- Do you expect competitors to break their seals at tech? If so, my guess would be that you won't be seeing many ASA crates. This becomes way too costly for racers especially when their builder is out of state.

[Tim]

It is not a racetracks place to break a seal on a motor. If a motor was historically in question, we would still follow the next step in the ASA procedures which would involve an approved motor builder validating the engine. I hope you guys will give us a try.
