    Pro Power engines

    Is anyone on either of the national tours still running a Pro Power engine? They used to power so many cars on tour but now you rarely see them.

      I remember Tmac running them in the Sweeteners Plus car a couple years ago. Since he got in Bradsher’s car last year they have run Cornetts.

        Tmac switched in the later part of 2019. He was struggling (by his standards)before switching. If I remember correctly, I think he started running Cornett engines? He ran better late that year after switching, but I don't know if that's all he changed.

        I believe Heckenast mentioned Pro power in one of his interviews this week.

                Seems like Clements and Cornett are the hot thing now. What happened to Durham that everyone and their brother wanted 2 years ago and now are basically irrelevant on the national tours?

                    Pierce had Vic Hill engines this week, I dont know what he had in Arizona. He did run pro power stuff a couple years ago.

                    There were several in the pit area this week, just not many in touring guys that I can remember.

                    Feger used them last year

                      I think Andy was arrested a couple years ago so maybe that hurt his business. Just speculation.

                        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.

                          Dennis Erb Jr. hasn't been with Pro Power for a while. Last Time I talk to him he was using either Vic Hill or Clements engines and that was last year.

                              I think Erb is using both Clements and Vic Hill
