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. See you next year amid the carnival, the air show, the hot air balloons and the music!  http://www.battlecreekspeed.com
