Pro Power engines

He's not working on the sprint car motor anymore

Yea I know they are in Stewart's and Schatz's cars. He didn't develop those in a month.

They have somebody else building them now. Durham isn't invoked anymore

Fwiw; schatz has Shaver racing engines on his car.

This might carry the thread in a different direction but I'm too lazy to start a new one. I watched the WWSO and there were still a bunch of Pro Power cars in the field. That being said I also drifted over to Chili Bowl coverage and seen how many TRD engines are in midgets. I looked at online sources and seen these little fours can fetch $40,000 and up, maybe towards $60k. Wow!

So now I see where TRD is going to try and make their way into sprint car engines, much like Tony Stewart and Ford Racing did in the last year or two. So, once TRD makes it into sprints, and you know they will, how far behind is a dirt late model TRD engine?

Ponder that. Thoughts?

Doesn't Kenny Wallace run a TRD in his dirt modified ? There are Toyotas running in the Late Model Pro Series asphalt racing series. They must be running the Nascar TRD V8.

Speaking of Kenny Wallace. I see he is scheduled to race at the dirt track in Fairbanks Alaska around the end of June.

Back to Pro Power, they will be back......racing is a fickle business. Durham had their day at the top of the heap. Cornett has made a comeback after being the forgotten engine for a few years and now it seems half the touring teams have one again.

Yeah that's it. I couldn't think of his name. That's who built his motors before he switched to fords

[turnleftandgasit]

Kenny was running very early TRD engines. He had to switch away from them because they used up all of the leftover parts. He posted a video about this explaining that it would be too expensive to have discontinued parts made.

Monkey see, monkey do. Everyone sees driver XXX running an XXX chassis with an XXX engine and they think that combination will put them over the top. Usually the monkey doesn't have the driving skills of driver XXX nor the support of team XXX and the results rarely change. Whatever the winner has is the hot ticket.

Sheldon Haudenchild is running a new TRD this year in ASoC. Ran really strong with it over the weekend in GA and would have had a good finish but spun himself out. The engine game is cyclical as years ago Cornett was all the rage then faded, Custom, Pro Power, Durham, Hill.... etc. They all rise and fall at the whims of the DLM racing community.

I thought the thing with Durham was the rumor of using used parts in new engines but blamed it on a bad batch of parts.

Something to that effect

[gators]

Durham has spent the most of his time recently developing the sprint car 400ci engine for Ford and Tony Stewart. Shepp, T Erb , Shirley and I think Heckenast still running them, may be others.

Terbo is running nothing but Clements. The end of last year he used Steven Roberts Clements motor & fell in love with it

Did they consummate the relationship
