| Trans Am began considering PME after two engine builders were removed from this year’s list. “The Technical Staff also has experience with PME due to their building engines for the TA class and other series,” said Brooks. “Therefore, we have developed a trust with PME that we believe will serve the requirements of the Trans Am series and our TA2® teams, well.” Their geographic location in North Carolina, the heart of NASCAR, also made them attractive to multiple TA2® teams.
With over 40 years in business, PME offers full-service machining, building, and tuning. PME’s Mooresville location features a chassis dyno, two engine dynos, CNC department, machining department, and two engine assembly rooms. Their motorsports experience ranges from drag racing to NASCAR applications, and PME’s engines power winners in classes ranging from Super Late Model to NASCAR’s top divisions. PME specializes in supporting privateer NASCAR Cup and Xfinity programs.
PME hit the ground running with a quick turnaround of four engines at the Trans Am season-opening event at Sebring International Raceway. Currently, PME is approved to build and service engines for the following Trans Am Classes: Trans Am (TA), TA2® (CHOICE Engine), Xtreme GT (XGT), Super GT (SGT), and Grand Touring (GT). Exceptions being the FIA GT 3 cars in XGT, the FIA GT4 cars, and Porsche Cup Cars found in SGT, which are required to use factory sealed engines.
PME joins the list of six other approved engine builders: Brand Racing Engines, OK; Katech, MI; Koury Race Engines, FL; Sampson Racing Engines, TX; Schwanke Engines, MN; Wegner Motorsports, WI. |
