AUGUST 25, 2013-CLEAN SWEEP! Bennett Racing Power Sweeps Radial at Huntsville

Congratulations to RTS Motorsports-Randy Sharpston, Driver Jeff Cooner and Pressurized Solutions for their win in Outlaw Radial in Huntsville this past weekend. With tricky track conditions due to weather, Pressurized put Jeff on 4.50 cruise control to take the win!


Congratulations to Dusty Mewbourn on his win in X275. With too much power for the hot race track Dusty put his car on 4.80's cruise control, but did run a string of 156mp runs. Dusty runs a Bennett 434X engine with a single 88mm turbo.


"It is great to see our customers win a race, but anytime we can clean sweep classes it makes it more special to have an all Bennett Powered winners circle" Jon Bennett-Bennett Racing Engines

Attention X275 Racers: We have a few slots left open for engine reconfiguration in time to make Valdosta and Holly Springs Fall races. If you are simply tired of getting outran and your current engine builder can't explain why, call today for a quote to convert your current engine to our specs and go to the front! Call Jon Bennett direct at 205-269-3134!

AUGUST 10, 2013 - JEFF HARRINGTON Outlaw 10.5 Car 6.64 @ 217 mph with his Bennett 427 Twin Turbo Engine 1st time out!

Congratulations to Jeff Harrington for an impressive 1st time out with his new updated Bennett 427 engine. This was done with only 28 psi of boost! We look for Jeff to lay down some really fast numbers with more boost and more time to tune the combo!


"This run was with 28lbs of boost and a fuel curve that still needed some clean-up due to rich conditions on the upper half of the fuel tables. We increased the boost for the next run to 32lbs and made the necessary changes to the fuel table and the car picked up to 6mph in the 1/8mile. However this run had to be aborted seeing the car was walking towards the wall. We feel this 6.64ET is short lived once we start to turn the boost up, which this says a lot for a small block combination !" -Jeff Harrington

"Jeff has one fast hot rod! Just another example of hardwork paid by both Jeff and the Bennett Racing team in shop. We continue to supply the most advanced turbo engine program out there and this another example of a small block that out ET's most big blocks! -Jon Bennett






AUGUST 10, 2013-Jeff Cooner Dominates Steele Outlaw Radial

Congratulations to Jeff Cooner (driver), Randy Sharpston (owner) and Derek & Drew-Pressurized Solutions for their recent win at Steele, Alabama in Outlaw Radial. Qualified 1st, Low ET and Race Win!


"This team tuned through tricky condtions to not only qualify #1, set low et, but to also win the race. RTS and Pressurized have raced this car for years and we are thrilled to be a part of their program during it's most successful year. This a hard working team and much deserved congratulations. As we begin to enter better racing conditions relating to weather we look for this car to go really fast with a small cid Big Block. -Jon Bennett

PETE PISADILIS TAKES DELIVERY OF NEW BENNETT 427 SMALL BLOCK CHEVY

We recently completed this 427 SBC Turbo Engine for Pete Pisadilis from Down Under In Australia. We look for Pete to begin Bennett Powered Turbo Domination Down Under !

"When looking for an engine provider I found Bennett Racing to be the only choice for small block power. The approach Jon and crew take on making horsepower with turbo engines is very different from the average turbo engine builder and that is why I went with them" -Pete Pisadilis

AUGUST 4, 2013 - JOHN KOLIVAS WINS NMCA STREET OUTLAW BOWLING GREEN

John Kolivas decided to take his Bennett powered 427 cid Mustang and take off the twin 88mm turbos and bolt on a single turbo to race the NMCA event in Bowling Green. With zero testing, mismatched converter & gearing, and an engine designed and built for twin 88mm turbos John not only ran well, but WON THE RACE with a 7.32 @ 195 mph.


Congratulations to John and his crew on an impressive weekend! Also glad to see longtime customer Joel Greathouse back at a drag race helping John (this past year Joel left drag racing to race circle track-go karts)


"I was amazed to see that my Bennett 427 that has 100 runs on it, and it designed and built for twin turbos was able to not only compete, but win this race. I can only imagine how fast I could go if I had Jon reconfigure my engine for a single turbo for this class." -John Kolivas

"Glad to see John go to Bowling Green and bring back the win with his Bennett 427 engine. I cannot remember the last time a Bennett powered car entered a NMCA or NMRA race and did not win, run low ET, or qualify #1" -Jon Bennett

All NMRA and NMCA racers: If you are tired of unexplained engine failures that keep you from making races or you are simply tired of getting outran Bennett Racing Engines can take your existing engine and re configure it into a #1 qualifying race winner, or we will design and build you a new dominant combination!
