“Despite perception to the contrary, engine builders and our aftermarket component manufacturers are an integral part of the IMCA competition plan and we will continue to recognize their contributions and achievements into 2013 and beyond,” said IMCA Marketing Director Kevin Yoder. “Some of the best engine builders in the country powered our champions this year and I have no doubt they will continue to do so next season.”
