  • Havn't we forgot about the old Menard engines? Yes they do exist still.

    Many people thought that Menard engines died with the influx of CART trams to the IRL. But they didn't. They actually build the engines for the Super League Formula. Remember, http://www.trackforum.com/forums/sho...d-Engine-Group . Davey Hamilton owns part of the company. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/artic...ne-group-sold/ I'm just saying an IICS driver owns an engine company that could handle this new engine.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

    Please let these engines be legal, just give them less turbo boost so it's more level.
    Insert something witty here. I don't care.

      2 different companies. MCT, the outfit that builds the SuperLeague V-12s came out of the company that was TRW. Originally named Menard CHEEVER Technologies after John and Eddie took over, John bought out Eddie and renamed it Menard COMPETITION Technologies. He sold it 2-3 years ago.

      The US-based Menard Engines is the outfit that used to build the Indy turbo Buicks that became Menards, later did Indy Lights rebuilds. Pretty small company.

        Agreed. Along with the cool Glidden/Quaker State livery colors

          Consider this a TF request.

          I'd like some great photos of Brayton's 95 pole winning car to make my desktop background. Anyone got some good shots to share?

            I saw Lee Brayton at the Indy Iconic Meeting too...

                I thought the Lozano Brothers took over the Buick program from the factory right before they terminated it?

                  Yup, great engine. I believe JPM won Indy in 2000 with a second tier Menard engine.
                  It seems the top tier Menard engine that day wore out grinding along the wall.

                  Bring 'em back with the great memories.
