Sloan Racing Engines

[Michael Beard]

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!
