People on this board love to knock the Pa Posse drivers, but one thing that is undisputable, is how many world class sprint car engine builders reside in Pa. Think about these names, Don Ott, Garrett, Rider, Cappetta, Morrison, Kriner, HP, HG and Hershey. These guys build some rockets and have been successful for a long time. I could be wrong, but I am not sure there is another state with as many great engine builders.

At one point Kriner was as big as Don Ott is today, but for some reason teams started to switch to other builders. However, they still are in business building engines but on a much smaller scale.

yea Sammy now runs Parker's!!! he took a few Ott motors there( he said to have them reworked) I think Parker copied Ott's build!!! Whom on hear( other than Iowa) has heard of Parker before this??? I figure Sammy is getting his pockets lined from Parker!!
I know this Big Game Tree Team always used Ott's before Sammy!!1
Just my 2 cents worth!!!

From what I understand. Garret can only freshen older motors he built. He's under contract with Meyers. That means only he gets new Garret motors

Dollansky runs Morrison engines, like Kerry Madson and Lance Dewease. Brian Morrison used to work for Charlie Garrett and then branched off on his own when Charlie went with Meyers.

Of course Big Game used Otts before Sammy and look at how many races they one before they drop the PA junk motors and went with Sammys choice.
Seems to me all the heavy hitting outlaw drivers dont run anything that comes outta the state of PA.
I don't aim to please.

Ha Ha, I guess you are new to sprint car racing and/or the WoO, because the majority of the Outlaw drivers have/are running an engine made in Pa over the last 10 years. I originally posted this topic, not to turn this into another pissing contest about the Posse vs the Outlaws, but to merely point out, that Pa does have some mightly fine sprint car engine builders. The facts are the facts. Ott, Kriner,Garrett, Rider, Cappetta and most recently Morrison all have had their engines run on the WoO circuit in recent years.

I'm a bit surprised no one mentioned Ed Stauffer as a former PA engine
builder. His motors won quite a few races, mostly with FFR.
On a separate note, (IMO) the surge in demand for Ott engines was in large part due to Rahmer's dominance. He certainly won a lot of race with those motors too.

Seems to me your ignorance of Sprint cars and the outlaws is overwhelming ,bout the only "heavy hitting " outlaws not running a PA motor are the ones still waiting to get on the list,,, your lack of any racing knowledge is almost funny to read as you continually try to insult everytime you post with no knowledge of what your commenting about ,

Funny. Shatz runs Shavers, Kinser well runs kinsers. and the Kahne cars run speedway motors out of indy. Sammy runs motors out Iowa. Sides is on a kinser program. Yep the heavy hitters arent running any junk out of the state of PA.

Take out the two NASCAR teams ( Shatz has ALWAYS run Shavers and Steve has ALWAYS run his own motors) and the most of the rest, have run a Pa built engine during their careers at one time or the other, including Kahne's teams until they hooked up with Speedway Motors. You might want to check your facts again, because Sides has won many races using Ott engines as has Sammy. Again this is not a Posse vs Outlaws topic that you are trying make it out to be. I just don't think you have been following the WoO very long. I'll give you another example, Jac's R19 team won 6 races last season (5 with Jac and 1 with Doug Esh) and they were using a Cappetta built engine( built in Pa). Dollansky currently runs a Morrision built engine(built in Pa) and has run Rider's(built in Pa) in the past. The current WoO point champion Meyers, runs a Garrett( built in Pa).Last year's ASCS point champion Jason Johnson runs an Ott. I could go on and on with facts, but I guess you see what you want to see. No one is saying that Pa has the best engines builders, there are many great ones out there, but the simple truth is that no other state has as many quailty engine builders like Pa. Most of whom have sustained success over a long period of time.
