Not Pro Power FORDS, genius. Who else is running them and making them last? NOBODY!

You folks went from tire experts to drug experts and now you all know everything about engines. smh

I've seen it too many times a car will check out take a big lead an few laps blow up. An he's the only 1 I know that's went through 4 motors this year. If it was engine builder other drivers would have same problem but they don't. An yeah I may sound stupid but bobby an dunn Benson are looking stupid.

Who else is running the same engines? There have been very, very few engine builders who have figured out how to make a ford engine last and Pro Power isn't on that list yet.

It appeared/sounded to me like it dropped a valve on lap 74ish and yes it did sound like he was turning more RPM then most of the cars.

Also remember in the B or last chance race (forgot now) bobby lost half of the header and that was one of the cautions to remove the header that someone ran over. That could have had an effect on the exhaust valve, that I think let go but again dropping a valve is a guess from what I heard on the track.


Second note: the engine was still running when he stopped on the back stretch and continued to do so for a long time way after he got out of the car. I heard someone say it wouldn't shut off with the ignition switch so may had an ignition problem causing the failure but I find that unlikely.

Durham and Cornett sure have figured out how to make Ford engines last. Pro Power will get the durability figured out and will have an engine that will cause the other engine builders to search for more power.

Yes they have. Like I said it's a short list. I agree Pro Power will figure it out, hopefully sooner than later tho.

Heck of a race ..... thanks dod .....

Well i see you can't be involved in a conversation without being a S A, I'm sure you would do that in person.

Bobby blew 3 engines at the Wild West Shootout. Started with Wallace engines that Pearson had no trouble with. He has blown other brands. The only constant is they are blowing stuff up.

Why wouldn't I? I get just as tired of ignorant comments in person as I do reading them.
It's too bad that a guy can start 28th, drive to the lead halfway thru the race & lead until 4 to go when the engine gives up and all the huggers can do is talk about how he don't know what he's doing. I knew after Scott didn't win that this board would be full of bashing other drivers, but I didn't think it would be this asinine.

Let's talk about Scott dooring Richards, lets talk about Scott pinching Pierce off down the frontstretch? He such a great driver one can only assume both moves were on purpose right? There, I stooped to the level of this board!

Are you sure Pearson never blew any up? Why isn't Pearson running Wallace engines now? I mean, if they were so dependable that he never blew any up all those years you'd think he'd be pretty committed to them. It's not like he's grenading them. Sounds like last night was a broken valve caused by the header breaking and falling off earlier.

That was a small wore out engine. They were concerned it wouldn't make it through the weekend when they put it in, it was awesome while it lasted.

And tmac uses pro power fords. He is not setting the world on fire at the time, but i dont remember him having to drop out of a race over an engine problem.

Awesome race though.

Didn't say the number was zero. But, certainly not like this. That team is killing engines at a ridiculous pace. Parts don't fail that commonly. Something is wrong at the user level.

Larry Wallace retired from engine building. And they had one engine with nearly 2500 laps on it at the end of the year last year. That sounds pretty dependable to me.

Bobby Pierce is no harder on engines than anyone else. Just having some bad luck right now.
