Wiseco John Penton GNCC Race This Weekend!

The Wiseco John Penton is this weekend in Millfield, Ohio at Sunday Creek Motocross. Why not grab the family and head out to see some great racing? You might be thinking, but it's always either raining or so dry the dust kicks up something fierce! Well, I've looked at the weather forecast and it doesn't look so bad, so maybe this year will be the year for great weather. With Wiseco's home in Ohio, we know how our weather can be. Regardless, the racers need us there to cheer them on!

Wiseco will have a display set up in vendor's row. You'll be able to see all our products for dirt bikes and ATV's. We've even included some samples of our V-Twin product for those of you who prefer cruising on your Harley®.

Come on out to Millfield for the Round 8 of the GNCC series- the Wiseco John Penton. Don't miss any of the action and stop by to say 'Hi' to us at the Wiseco booth on Saturday and Sunday.

Drag Fever at Summit Motorsports Park

We attended the 4th annual B'laster Cavalcade of Stars at Summit Motorsports Park the weekend of May 15th and would you believe the crowd!!!! This race brought one of the biggest crowds- 40,000 people- forcing officials to close the gates at 5pm on Saturday when they hit capacity! These 40,000 people came out to watch 557 cars battle it out for the top spots. The Wiseco team was there to support Summit and had a booth set up in the midway. We had 2 of our automotive sales team members answering questions and talking with racers. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us!

The results of the weekend? Matt Short won the Carribean cruise for the 2nd year in a row on his Wiseco powered Kawasaki in the Wiseco Cycletech Super Bike Top 16 run-off! Another Wiseco powered racer- Steve Schnmidt- won the Super Comp class with our new Quick 16 pistons. Check out all the results and find out more about Summit Motorsports Park at http://www.summitmotorsportspark.com/.

Join Wiseco on June 5-6 for the Wiseco John Penton GNCC Race!!

If you’ve been following the GNCC series, you’ve seen the results from River Ranch, the General, Steele Creek, Big Buck, Loretta’s, and Yadkin Valley. These can be the toughest races around! Remember the mud at Steele Creek that halted lap 6 of the XC2 race? There are 3 more exciting races coming up before the summer break- Mountain Ridge, Snowshoe, and the Wiseco John Penton!

Join us in Millfield, Ohio on June 5 and 6 to see all the greats- Chris Borich, Paul Whibley, and Johnny Gallagher just to name a few. These guys battle it out for the top spots in the XC1 bike and quad classes each weekend. Wiseco will have a display in vendor’s row to answer your questions and, of course, see our sponsored racers!

What will you see at the Wiseco display in vendor’s row? Of course you’ll see our pistons. They’re strong enough for 9-time GNCC champ Bill Ballance, so you know they last! You can check out our new fuel management controllers for bikes and ATV’s. These controllers tune your EFI without a computer or dyno. Just take your bike or ATV for a lap around the track, stop, adjust, and you’re on your way. Who wouldn’t want on-the-fly tuning when it matters most?

We’ll have our forged clutch components on display. Come find out why we are the only one who puts a Lifetime Warranty on our forged baskets, inner hubs, and pressure plates. You’ll also see our line of camshafts. Our cams give you additional power across the low end, mid range, and top end, depending on application. What’s better is that you get these gains on a cam that is designed as a drop-in OEM replacement! No engine or head mods are necessary when replacing with a Wiseco cam. Polished lobes reduce friction and wear. Though we’ve started with a limited number of models, you won’t be disappointed.

Drop by the Wiseco display during the Wiseco John Penton GNCC race on June 5 and 6 to check out our products and meet members of our technical sales team. Cheer on our Wiseco powered racers and check out what Wiseco can offer for your vehicle.

Jesse Masterpool

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Jesse Masterpool. Jesse died from a head injury on Saturday the 20th sustained at the Lake Whitney Amateur National. Everyone here at Wiseco knew Jesse as a member of the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team, a Wiseco sponsored team. At just 14 years old he was a top 85cc/ Supermini racer. He will be dearly missed.

We've provided the link for Jesse's website. There you will find the official statement from his family. R.I.P. Jesse and please send all your strength and prayers to his family during this difficult time.

Wiseco's pistons continue to wow the crowds and our customers! Check out some achievements from our customers.

With SEMA behind us and PRI coming up quickly, Wiseco's auto department has been busy! Many of our customers have also been busy racing with our pistons. Check out what some of them have done!

Jay Norris of Norris racing engines had this to say about his latest set of custom pistons on Wiseco’s Quick 16 forging. Jay’s 532ci Dart pro 1 headed test mule produced 984 hp and 747 torque with a small carb., .775 lift bracket cam, and 13.9:1 compression. The engine was just off the dyno and he wrote us a letter with the results: '“I was very impressed with the dimensional accuracy and consistency, along with better than excellent surface finish. The ring lands were so flat that we registered over 22in. vacuum on this wet sump system (we actually had to change pulleys in order to slow down the pump). MY COMPLIMENTS ON A JOB WELL DONE! It is refreshing to see a manufacturer actually listen and perform accordingly instead of the usual “we can’t do that because…”'

Two Brother’s Racing in Tempe Arizona are long time users Wiseco pistons in their Turbo Supra builds. They’re currently the 2nd fastest 6 speed Supra (with a relatively un-lightened car) running 8.20’s at 183! They’ve got a few things up their sleeve for the upcoming year, but their stroker 2jz currently produces in the neighborhood of 1700 wheel horsepower (283hp per cylinder!). They pull their engines down for inspection roughly every 100 runs and report “Wiseco pistons look really great and we just put them back in again!” No doubt their excellent tuning contributes to this, but the Supra crowd continues to amaze.

Long time customer Aaron Bunch at ATS racing of Denton Texas reports their latest 2311cc 3sgte build (1993cc’s standard) spooled a gt38 turbo at 3500rpm (about 1000 rpm sooner than normal!). He’s up to 480 at the wheels on pump gas which is 3 times the power of a stock engine! He also reports many of his crew has gotten into stand up jet ski’s lately. They’ve got Wiseco’s in those as well and they the prop off with roughly 175 horsepower!

Good job guys, keep pushing it!

SPOTTED! Hot Rod Magazine 2010 Camaro prowling around Wiseco


A blood red 2010 Camaro with "Hot Rod Test Car" on its doors was seen prowling around Wiseco’s proving grounds this morning. Rumors persist this machine may be part of some secret Wiseco skunkworks project. In a statement, local man John Milner was quoted as saying: "The thing pulled in around 4 a.m. Monday morning. It was dark and all I could see at first was the halo headlights….followed by the unmistakable rumble of a cammed up LS3. There was rubber all over the back fenders…as if it had just driven itself up from the GM performance LSX shootout or somethin’." Normally the car rarely leaves its lair in Houston Texas- the School of Automotive Machinists compound. Elusive madman Ron Shearer of Shearer fabrications has also been seen on the grounds -leading to the speculation that some kind of demented transformation may be underway to turn it into a 440 cubic inch Twin Turbo Terror. We will continue to alert the general public as the story develops.
