Come see us at booth 3943 with . Get the first look at our new Nation midget engine. It's been a 2 year project that we are now ready to put out. There is no question that national midget racing has car count issues. The privateer teams have disappeared due to the insane cost of engines. Toyota's and SR-11's have become a must have to compete in today's fields. The chevy that we have developed has the same horsepower and torque as those 50k to 70k engines for about half the price. The service interval will also be 3 to 4 times what these other engines are as well. If you feel like you are looking to change the direction of your midget program, to run on a higher level or running for more money to start, this might just be what you are looking for, stop by and talk with us.

Here is a cool video we did with one of our drift friends, Prizza Mike. It goes over an engine that we built for him, and some of the in's and out's of building an engine like this. A really unique view, and insite into what we do! Worth the watch.

My Nissan 300zx has a junkyard ka24de 240sx engine, and somehow it's been bullet proof, even after boosting it. In this video we visit MWR machine shop to fu...

It's definitely time to mention some of our champion's! Jace Sparks is the 2025 MARA champion, he has been with us for several years now, and its been incredible to see him progress from year to year. This year was most definitely perseverance, when things didn't go as planned, the MWR family had hid back, thanks to Tom Fedorczyk, and MWR's loaner motor, and our fast turn around, he finished the year powered by what has gotten it done for him week in and week out! Super proud of Jace, Jeff, Wes, grandma, and the whole Sparks family! Second in the running, and the owners champion is Steven Kunz, with driver Mark McMahill, it is truly great to see Steven's success as car owner with veteran driver Mark who both have long running roots with MWR. With countless races with the Kunz Family and many IMRA with and champion's with Mark, super happy for the success. Third in points is our personal wheel man, and the driver who was untouchable with his MWR Nissan power plant, Daltyn England. The last 2 months you could not keep him off the podium. He also grabbed that last win at Coles County. Look for so much more coming from Daltyn. 4th in points definitely needs a mention as well, Tyler Roth, another Mr consistency, Tyler was getting heat wins all year long on what I believe is his 3 season on his MWR ecotec. MWR power was top 4 this year in points, and this is our 3rd year in a row powering the mara champion to victory. Also want to mention Mitchell Davis in the Jim Mayhan MWR ecotec powered ripper who picked up 3 wins this season, was great to see Jim with a smile on his face! Marty Tackes took home a championship north of the cheddar curtain. Marty and Brandon have been with MWR for every bit of 8 years, and many championships. Another few end of the year chargers were the Matt Hannon owned cars that were taking home the wins in Iowa running circles around the best that some have to offer, and at Peavley Missouri. Jeff Huber is actually new to us this year, and once he got things situated out east he went on a winning streak that the others couldn't touch! Super happy for these guys and all the people that we power! We are making some updates to our dyno and we will be getting Bob's motor on and Blaines as well. Stay tuned for more big news coming soon. MWR Technology we will see you in the winners circle!

Here is an awesome video from High Performance lubricants, featuring Comstock and the pavement midget program that David Ward has put together. The series is growing tremendously. The cost is easily 40k less in motor price, and less that a second difference at . It's attracting huge attention for us as well as the series. There are open seats, so talk to David Ward.

This week we are in chicago going to see my new car I will be racing in the upcoming race series! come along with as I learn the rope of this style of racing!

Been a very fast and rewarding few weeks since our last post! Matt Lux picked up a victory with his Ecotec with Midwest Thunder. Matt Hannon took the checkers at Quincy with his MWR ecotec, Jace Sparks extended his points lead with a win at Coles County while Miles Doherty went quick time with his MWR followed by RJ Corson with his . We also had the complete podium 1 2 and 3 at Coles. And Tyler Roth took home a heat win. Scott Schlafke was on his way to a productive night before mother nature ended the evening. We have shaking down MWR power on the pavement side of things as well as the nissan of Daltyn England been on an amazing run the last few months, we are super proud of all these guys who work so hard week in and week out and are on top of it enough to go no where else but MWR Technology. The results speak for themselves. MWR Technology we will see you in the winners circle!

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, our guys are still wide open! Things are winding down, but rods are back in stock, and we are back to building and finishing the last few we have to do. This last week was amazing for a bunch of drivers, Tim Straight Jr picked up a win, so did Scott Schlafke and Laurence vines, these guys have been stout all year. Daltyn England has been on a roll this last month and knocked down hid 3rd of the year at sycamore speedway sat night and a runner up on Sunday to Zach Wigal who runs MWR power with Midwest thunder. 3rd place went to Tommy Colburn who did lead most of the race, in the Jessica Sassano owned MWR honda. Daytona Shelton picked up a win out west with Southwest Ecotec midgets, he is also looking to come to the midwest to run some shows. Aaron Schuck won his heat race at sycamore speedway and Harrison Kleven was hard charger at sycamore speedway. Get nothing but the best right here at MWR Technology the leader in 4 cylinder engine development. We will see you in the winners circle!

It's been a pretty good week of racing for us so far, went well with a win from Kyle O'Gara and 2nd from Chase Locke, and 4th from Jimmy Anderson, giving us 3 of the top 4 spots on the big fast 5/8 mile paved track. Last night, Daltyn England paved the way at winning his heat and leading all 25 laps, taking home the victory by almost 9 seconds. In his MWR powered SR something . I'm super proud to be victorious on 2 different surfaces with 2 different engine platforms. We had a good shakedown the atlas, which should be making its way to victory lane soon as well. Thank you to all of us who follow and share our posts and choose us for the best engines on the track. MWR Technology, we will see you in the winners circle!
