Sloan Racing Engines
I finally added it up...
Tim Sloan at Sloan Racing Engines built my 360 Magnum crate motor in Feb. of last year. On the 4th run on the motor, at Piedmont, I had a 1.455 60' and ran 6.994 at 97.09 mph, 50 degrees out, and a 6 mph tailwind, air around 50' AA. This weekend, on Sunday at Piedmont, I had a 1.435 60' time. On Saturday, at Pageland Dragway, I ran 6.995, 6.995, 6.996, 7.000, with a 2mph headwind, anywhere from 250' to 639' AA. In these two seasons, this engine has set three national records, won Class twice, and been in 17 final rounds. In 2006 finished #2 in Div. 9 and 9th in the World, 3rd in Rockingham track points, 2nd in the Summit Super Series at Farmington, in 2007 finished #2 in the World and Div. 2 Champ, Rockingham Champ, 2nd in Summit Super Series at Pageland. This engine currently has over 430 runs on it. Sloan Racing Engines also virtually swept IHRA Div. 9 Stock this year, with customers in the finals of every event. Scott Macy won the Div. 9 Championship this year with another 360 Magnum, and set records and won Class along the way to finishing 3rd in the World. Jamie Southards also set records, won Class, and finished Top 10 in the World. Sloan also does some of the work for Anthony Bertozzi's Super Stock program. (Although Tim has earned a reputation in the Mopar crowd, he's actually a Chevy guy, be we don't hold it against him) ;) Thanks for a great, reliable, consistent, and winning piece! |

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Thanks to Tim Sloan for building such great motors for us! I also want to thank Tim, Sheila, and Hillarey for all the help and hard work they have done for me (and all of their customers) this year! I couldn't do it without you guys!

Re: Sloan Racing Engines

"crate motor" king!

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Yes duck tape boy we all know how great your eng man is, he can bulid a street/crate motor to run 400 to 600 passes that runs .80 to 1.00 under( the bogus crate motor index). And that is fine if you want to run crate motor and IHRA full time. But untill they bulid a real stocker motor that runs .80 after 100 passes us hear on the real side of class racing are not impressed. Myself and other racers will keep using Tri city, parson's, Warren, Wikle, Bub Witt, Kowen and other proven eng buliders that have fast class cars. I'am not saying Mr Sloan can't bulid a fast class winning stocker motor just we havent seen one so far. I'am not talking t/sa class winner but something A/SA-K/SA where you haft to earn your class wins.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
I'am alive and well ED. It's not that T/SA or other slower class are not important( because all NHRA stocker are from V/S to A/SA are, that's what makes us a speical group of people) it's that almost anyone can make a slower class car go real fast with little effort and big money or hard work and little money (Bob shaw, Burt morgan). with faster combos there are almost no class singles and alot more effort is need to win with some combos. Ed not that I really care but how many times have you class singled for a win vs ran someone and won or ran heads up in the race? just asking.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
John,
What class do you run? Seems a search on autoimagery.com for your name pulled up no results. If all you run(or spectate) is NHRA then why do you care? Fast is fast whatever the combination that you use. If you can build a combination using the same(or simular) parts, and run a couple of seconds faster than it came from the factory you've done something. Who's to say the crate motor indexs are soft? When was the last time you saw a crate motor run 1.40 under the index? |
Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Hey Bobby,
Trust me, it is a waste of your time to bother with people who choose to use bogus names on here. All they do is get unwanted drama stirred up on here and they never say who they are. I have seen it over and over again. I am only concerned that our customers and our future customers are satisfied with their performance. Obviously "Mr. Holmes" is not one of them, nor will he be, so I couldn't care less what he thinks or says. =) P.S. My only response to the alleged "Mr. Holmes" is, "Just because I only run around 1 second under does not mean that is all that I got. Feel free to drop in F/CM any time." |

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Hillary, I am sure this thread was started with good intentions, and it was. I also know lots of other racers say good things about your dads engines. it makes you wonder why this holmes guy wants to make such statments about Slone racing and ihra with intentions of down grading both parties. mr. holmes said he was in a special group af people. i feel the holmrs thread does not represents the nhra racers that race ihra and most likely 95 percent of all other nhra racers. this special group must be in the lower percent of all racers. they say if these kind of people are ignored they will go away.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Hillarey I have one better for you. Why don't you put a real motor in your car and run G/SA or F/SA then we could meet heads up any place any time 10000 cash winner takes all and I will even pay for the NHRA offical to do a post race teardown( NHRA offical only because IHRA TEARDOWN is a joke). If you are interrested just say the word and I will give you my real name and car number and what kind of car. No tricks now!!!!

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Personally, I prefer my equipment to be reliable, consistent and competitive enough to win events and championships. Being on an ego trip with emphasis on fastest in class and/or top qualifier bragging rights is not conductive to winning events. Somehow I feel that most racers will agree. If that's ALL you have to put on the table, perhaps you should find a heads-up only class.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
better yet, save the 10 grand and buy yourself a set of balls, maybe then you can use a real name! besides you started this unsportsmanship bashing due to being either jealous or bored. if you have a fast car thats totally cool but to bash another for accomplishments far greater than yours. thats pretty low!

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Hill, calm down, I know you can whup him . Just give those looks I used to see.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
And just what look are you talking about????? Ha ha! I think I know the one....... I am going to be sweet.....like I said, no further responses to Johnny Boy, he can go fly a kite........ ;)

I think it's Myron in disguise... you know how he is with women! :p

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Myron is such a woman beater!!!! Myron is safe here, his spelling is much better.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Now that's LOW!
Heck, even if I would hide behind a fake name, it would be classier than that! Looking forward to giving more beatings next year! :p |
Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Tim Sloan has built motors for me that are fast and have lasted. He is currently building a A/fia motor for me too run in NHRA Div 1. Tim is one of the finest men I have meet in Drag Racing. I would recommend him and his shop to anyone.

Be careful what you wish for. There was a guy named Mitch Kight that kicked your *** for years if you ran G/SA or whatever class you ran. You and everyone else dodged him and he was going to show his *** at Gainesville this year but because of rain didnt get the chance. I think he was looking at 1.50 under or better as I have seen that car run that fast. You tell me what class to be in, I think an NHRA race in the fall would be nice. So after saying that I will call you out JOHN HOLMES. Who are you. Tim you have a set of heads for F/SA i gave you months ago, I say its time to work on them. herb jr |

Dunno, Herb... I think Piedmont Dragway would be a great host for some Class match races during a Thursday night Big Dog, don't you think? If you can keep Macy at J weight and Jamie on the bias plys, I might be able to run with them and give the fans a good show! ;) What's great about Tim Sloan isn't just his engines. He can also drive -- was #2 in the World in IHRA Modified Eliminator years ago, and came out of 'retirement' and won a Pro-Am in Terry Knott's car, I think in about his 2nd try. He's also at many of the events, and is a major help to everyone at the race track. His skill, advice, and friendship are priceless, and very much appreciated -- which is what this thread was supposed to be about. Ed F. - As you know, Billy Nees built my EF/SA Turismo. I won Class on a single once, went 9 rounds in my first two races with it while only running under the index three times, and ran -.45 under once. Missed one race, and finished #11 in NHRA Div. 1. I'm grateful to Billy for getting me started in Stock eliminator, and he's another one that would do anything for you at the race track. He's another brilliant man - even if a little cranky and eccentric. ;) |
Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Beard you might be on to something. I hope you guys had pictures made of your cars this weekend with people in the stands at a local track. That is what sponsors like.
Piedmont use to run Stock SS combos the Wednesday ngiht before the national events at Rockingham back in the 80's. Now that would be fun, a free race maybe who knows. Herb Jr |
Re: Sloan Racing Engines
John Holmes, You need to give it a rest. I hope that you are part of the minority of NHRA racers. I know Michael Beard has been in more final rounds than you have been in second rounds. Nobody cares about class winners NHRA tech doesn't even take it seriously. Creeps like you that can run 1.2 under with your SERIOUSLY BOGUS parts that no one cares to police are hilarious. Do you really think people believe you are just that much better at tuning your combo and it is legal? Ever wonder why the hitters qualify at the bottom of the sheet looking for by runs like you?

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Herb,
Is the comp. style stock race still on? Looking forward to it if it is..... |
Re: Sloan Racing Engines
I've had my Sloan Racing Engines powered super stock car now for 4 months , 2 #1 qualifiers , 1 class win , and gone a few rounds .

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Hilary there will be a comp style race at Piedmont next year. I will let the details out when they are available and finalized. I think your dad knows as much as anyone.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Hey herbjr I bought the motor from Mitch Kight's car that ran those crazy numbers in Gainsville, so if johnny boy wants to run we'll be in houston at Nitro Joe's SS combo this weekend going balls to the wall. By the way we've had the motor in the car most of the year, running it pretty mild, it's an Animal. It will be interesting to see how fast it is in some decent weather.

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Can't do it at Piedmont...that's an IHRA track and WE have no idea what we're doing! :confused:
Maybe we can get one of Bo's old Top Stock engines that were so slow and let him get some of that. What a joke this holmeless guy is! Great dialog for the off season though. |

Re: Sloan Racing Engines
It will be done as a fun race added to another event. We are looking at all the qualifing sheets from this past year trying to figure out a good CIC number where its good for everyone. We want it where the driver does play in to the equasion. The good this is no automatic horsepower for showing your *****
John Holmes I will run you whenever you want. Herb Jr |
Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Just when I got to thinking nothing exciting ever happened on this forum I return to find this
Where do I even start?! First I'll tell you that Scott has been racing quite successfully for 22 years now, and only started doing the "class racing" thing a year and a half ago when presented the opportunity. To be quite frank, we expected to meet people with the same attitude that Mr. Holmes has. Turns out, we met A LOT of extremely nice people during the last year and a half with the class racing. Almost every competitior Scott ran approached him prior to the race, introduced themselves, wished him luck and said "Let's go have fun". Last winter we bought the motor from Tim Sloan that was in Hillarey's car, thus beginning our relationship with Sloan Racing Engines. We were immediately impressed - the motor was very consistent, competative, fast and reliable. But beyond that, we were impressed with the knowledge, helpfullness and at track support we received from not only Tim, but Shelia and Hillarey as well. Not only do we call Sloan Racing Engines our engine builder, but we call them our friends. And us Macy's consider our friends our family (cause our real family sucks, we make our own! - ha ha). My point - you won't find a nicer engine builder out there. Tim Sloan is the definition of a true Southern Gentleman. Beyond that, he has a passion for drag racing, sure he's in this to make money, but the man loves our sport. How many other engine builders have sponsored the Stock or Super Stock class for the division? Furthermore - what is up with this "I'm better than you because I run the "prestigious NHRA" series and have a "fast" traditional/"real" stocker" attitude??? First, NHRA treats their racers like a door mat. You never know when your class will get bumped from the program - you're not making them any money! IHRA shows a hell of a lot more appreciation for their racers. Why everyone thinks NHRA is so great is beyond me. And on a side note, the only NHRA tracks we could go to in this area is Bristol and Virginia Motorsports Park, versus the 12 plus IHRA tracks in our area. Didn't Bristol's National event bump the Stock class this year??? So that leaves one track to race at. Second, you do realize that 99% of the time your just....brace yourself while I use this dirty word....BRACKET RACING! That's right, you're just a nasty old bracket racer like the rest of us dirt bags. And that other 1% of the time our Sloan Racing Engine hasn't failed us yet. I do believe our Sloan Racing engine beat one of those "better" Engine Builders motor that you listed in a heads up competition on our way to our first Ironman win. Third, so you have a lot more money invested in your "real" stocker than our "fake" one. Good for you, money bags. At the end of the day the purse is still the same. Fact of the matter is, if we had to compete in a traditional stocker then we couldn't afford it, we'd end up running Hot Rod instead. More and more people are in our shoes. Eliminate the use of crate motors in the Stock class and before long your class won't exist. Bottom line, Sloan Racing Engines is highly respected by ALL of their customers. We highly recommend them and will continue to do business with them. We won the Division 9 Championship, won 3 Ironmen and finished 3rd in the World. We also picked up Stock/Super Stock wins at Piedmont and Roxboro this year. We contribute our success to the help of Sloan Racing Engines. P.S. - I'd put the $10,000 up for Hillarey to race you if I had it. Unfortuately I'm not made of money like you obviously are. I think Hillarey would win - especially since you probably won't be able to see to get down the track with your two black eyes. P.S.S - Scott called you a douche bag who probably doesn't even have a real car. He'll take you in a bracket race any time, any place, best two out of three wins. I'm sure you're not interested though as you probably don't have the talent required to bracket race, just the money to heads up race. |
Re: Sloan Racing Engines
Thank you all for your kind words. =) We appreciate it!!!
