Design Engineering Inc. (DEI) says their sprint car engine cover warms up power plants faster and keeps heat in them for longer than other covers. The key to this lies in the cover’s wings.
A fiberglass lining within the wings prevents them from melting when touching the blistering-hot exhaust and other high-temperature components. Built-in snaps permit crew members to hold the wings in the up position to work on the engine while the cover remains in place. This allows the engine retain more of its heat.
The cover’s outer layer consists of durable, PVC-coated polyester fabric, with glass mat insulation. A heavy-duty glass fiber fabric makes up the final layer. DEI designed the cover to last for many seasons. You can even use the cover on a hot or running engine, without damaging the cover.
In the lead photo, JJ Henes, the inaugural Must See Racing Midwest Lights Series champion, sports the cover on the car he races.
The sprint car engine cover fits most sprint car chassis. DEI constructs the the covers right at its headquarters in Avon Lake, Ohio, USA.
It retails for $399.95 USD.
