New Egypt Speedway 2023 Rules Will Be Available Soon  

The New Egypt Speedway management and technical department have completed the 2023 rules and they will be made available to the public this coming week. However we would like to announce immediately the following two very important rules changes / additions: 

1.) Per New Jersey state law, All cars in all divisions are required to have an approved fire suppression system installed. See each division’s respective rules for minimum specifications.

2.) To all New Egypt Speedway 602 crate and wingless sprint racers:

We, the management and technical department at NES have been well aware of the questionable and so called “cheated” crate engines out there, and we assure you all that this has not gone unnoticed. However the detection, inspection,and confirmation of these engines has proven very difficult. IE the inspection and dyno process which would be required is very time consuming, labor intensive, and not to mention very expensive. 

In an effort to maintain a fair and level playing field for all involved, we are implementing the following changes. As always, it is strictly forbidden to tamper with any of the original factory seals and all must remain fully intact and all 602 crate engines that compete at New Egypt Speedway must have a second set of NES seals attached as well. This will not change.

First, we have acquired several new technical inspection tools that we have added to our arsenal of tools and equipment that will better enable us to be able to detect cheated engines.

Second, our technical inspector(s) have undergone extensive training in the detection of illegal engines.

While the New Egypt Speedway rule book does say that all new 602 crate engines must be purchased through the New Egypt Speedway, due to pricing issues and availability issues, this has gone largely unenforced. Until now.

New Egypt Speedway has entered into an agreement with a General Motors parts supplier who will supply us with engines at a fair and reasonable price.

Effective immediately, New Egypt Speedway will no longer be sealing any used 602 crate engines or any new 602 crate engines obtained from an outside source other than the New Egypt Speedway. In the event that any one needs to purchase a new engine, he or she is to call the NES office and make financial arrangements. The engine will then be delivered to a location in close proximity to the speedway where it will then be NES sealed. The owner of the engine will then be notified when it is ready and may then pick it up at his or her convenience. 

This is mandatory and will be strictly enforced and there will be absolutely no exceptions.

Any engine that is currently NES sealed will be grandfathered and will be honored throughout the remaining life of the engine. However, these engines are not exempt and are subject to further inspection at any time which may be deemed necessary.

Any outside racer who wishes to visit NES and give us a try will be permitted to do so with a non NES sealed engine one time only, provided that all factory seals are intact but as always these engines may be further inspected if deemed necessary. After the grace period, a legally NES sealed engine must be obtained.

We at New Egypt Speedway appreciate your support and understanding as we make an effort to provide a fair, equal class of racing in all of our 602 crate divisions.

Sincerely,

NES Management & Technical Department
