NMCA sealed motor class?

If it works like the sealed crate motor circle track deal, you can buy the bolts on the internet so you can "work" on the motor and then reseal with the correct bolts. Normally an intake bolt, timing cover bolt, and oil pan bolt with breakoff heads. If you go into with an "off the shelf" motor you are already behind and don't have a chance. Well versed in the dirt track area of those motors.

This.

When these things hit the local circle track, the track owners and promoters were all singing the praises of the crate motors, saying how the cost of racing would go down, the playing field would be leveled, and the days of engine tech, tear down, and cheating were over forever.


Yeah. Right. There's a whole flock of people selling the bolts, and dozens of shops, blueprinting, porting and polishing, installing trick rings, having camshafts reground, and any number of other tricks.

Here is the "sealed engine" Coyote Stock class.
NMRA tech will flash the same tune on every car before the race ( or verify the existing tune is the same)
I think the rev limiters are set somewhere around 7500.
