As the season wraps up, thing are heating up at the track.  Baker engines powered the winners in three separate classes on August 19 at Berlin Raceway. Congratulations to Tom Thomas and Terry VanHaistma for winning the Super Late Model features, and Dave Lake for taking the checkered flag in the Modfieds. Great night for the Racing Awareness crew! 

Congratulations to Rich Neiser for putting his dirt Late Model in the winners circle at Thunderbird Raceway on August 19.  The former track champ has now posted three wins at Winston this season and three at Thunderbird. This is the sixth year that Neiser has powered his Late Model with a Baker built engine that runs on E-85..

Dave Lake and the 97L modified team set fast time, won the heat and took the checkered flag in the feature at Berlin Raceway on July 15. The victories were well-earned, as this was the first time back at track after three weeks of hard work putting the car back together. Congratulations to Dave and the entire Racing Awareness crew. Every victory for this team is also a victory for the kids at Helen DeVos Childrens Hospital. 

Cal Hayward does it again! He won the No-Prep Triple Crown presented by Lane Automotive race at Martin Speedway on July 26. This mid-week event is a unique street-style grudge race where no times are shown, and only a win light shows the car that gets to move on. Plus, no track prep and instant leave on green makes it a lot of fun to watch.  

BEI powered cars took home several top honors in a field of over 100 of the fastest cars in the country at Battle Creek's Speedfest.  Cal Hayward's Mustang was  the fastest RWD car at event posting 201 mph on the half mile track. The Mustang is powered by a custom BEI twin turbo small block Ford with 2000hp.  The fastest naturally aspirated car at the event was driven by BEI's TJ Grimes.  His 2002 Corvette Z06 features a custom 438ci LS7 engine and posted 170 mph.  At 152mph, the fastest female driver was Heather Neuhaus in her red 2006 Corvette that was tuned by BEI.  Special thanks to all of our customers who came out to support this great event.
