SEAL Officials Announce Resignation of a Previously Certified Rebuilder of Crate Engines

Officials with the Sealed Engine Alliance Leaders (S.E.A.L.) announced today that a previously certified engine rebuilder for crate engines will no longer be a part of their program.

HP Elite Racing Engines notified S.E.A.L. officials that their company will no longer be part of the certified sealed engine rebuilder program. In lieu of paying the required fine following the discovery of multiple infractions, HP Elite Racing Engines chose to resign their position within the program.

With this resignation, S.E.A.L. officials have determined that engines with HP Elite Racing Engines seals will still be considered legal and may currently compete without a weight penalty, but will most likely come under additional scrutiny.

Racers with these engines will have until January 1, 2025 to have their engines re-certified by an approved rebuilder. After which time, they will be considered unsealed, and be subject to a 100 lb. weight penalty.
