Some steel block late model builds we have in process and some already on the track winning races in the Gateway Outlaw Steel Block Late Model series, title sponsored by us here at MLRE. We can handle complete builds, short blocks, parts selection or all of the precision machining and balancing necessary.

We had a great weekend at the Benton Speedway 4th annual Beeson Memorial, picking up the win in the premier street stock race of the season! Austin Rettig wheeled our black and green 91, leading 20 of 25 laps in a talent stacked field. We ended up 6th in late model, adding another top 10 in the Gateway Outlaw Steel Block Late Model series that we are the title sponsor for.

We are beyond buried in work and cannot take in anymore for the rest of the year. If we have already discussed it and you are scheduled to bring yours in for a freshen up this winter, we are able to get you in. Thank you to all who keep us this busy.

An engine we did in 2021 with over 400 passes at this level on it still going strong! Congratulations to Brandy Hubbard NSR Racing on the finish this past weekend! A testament to a racer having his stuff together and knowing what he is doing!

Our friend Doug Wonner from Akron OH got a feature write up with Dragzine about his mean MLRE powered Buick. Thanks Doug for choosing us to handle your machine work and engine build!

Doug Wonners always had an affinity for fast street cars. His seven-second Buick is his dream machine.
