Update
on
"Bottle Cap Crate"
2024 SLM
Engine Options |
Dec, 27 -
Naples, ME - Officials
at the Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) provided an update
today on the new "Bottle Cap
Crate" engine option that
will be available for all
PASS competitors for the
2024 season. The "Bottle Cap
Crate" option was rolled out
to competitors in early
November and sales have been
brisk.
PASS President
Tom Mayberry commented about
the new engine package
option, "We are really.
really happy with the
initial round of orders for
these motors. We have
already had 15 or 16 teams
order an engine, and we are
getting calls and emails
almost every day for more."
Each engine
purchased through the PASS
sealed engine program comes
straight from GM to the PASS
approved engine builder, LCM
Racing Engines, for a dyno
break-in and test. LCM sets
the timing, performs a
4-hour break-in procedure,
and then seals each motor
with TWO PASS-specific seals
registered with the
sanctioning body. Teams
simply provide their own
fuel pump and distributor
and then can pick up a race
ready engine to drop into
their cars and go.
"We felt like it was
important to provide a good
break-in procedure to verify
that each engine is
performing at its optimum
level when it leaves the LCM
Engine Shop," Said Mayberry.
"LCM has agreed to do this
at a discounted rate so we
can keep the total cost to
teams under $10k."
Teams running the "Bottle
Cap Crate" option will
be afforded a 25 lb. weight
break at every track on the
PASS schedule, with
additional breaks at
Thompson and New Hampshire
Motor Speedway TBD.
Mayberry went on to say
there will be another order
placed with GM within the
next month or so to
accommodate the ever growing
interest for both the PASS
tour and weekly competition
at Oxford Plains Speedway.
The 602 "Bottle Cap"
crate motor option for PASS
MODS was also rolled
out less than a month ago
and interest has been high
there as well. "We had one
driver order one right away,
and we have had several more
calls from drivers in need
of a fresh motor who want to
order very soon," said
Mayberry. "PASS MODS race a
little less than the SLM's
so an engine may last a team
a little longer. But as they
wear out, it's a great way
for them to get a sealed
motor and get a weight
break. It's the same engine
they are already running,
just with a seal so we know
it has not been tampered
with."
