Default CARTEK ***CHANGES and SPECIAL***

We are excited to announce that Cartek is now a 100% family owned business. As of June 6th, 2008 Dave Busch is no longer with Cartek Racing Inc. Sales and management are now run by Julian Hormilla and Maxwell Hormilla. Engine packages, power adder setups, tuning, and engine assembly still remains in Julio Hormilla’s hands as it has always been, so we can still expect the same high level of performance and reliability Cartek has become known for.

In celebration of this milestone in Cartek history we are going to be running a Heads and Cam special. On any stage of Cartek Heads and Cam package sold there will be a $250 discount. Also we will be offering an additional $250 discount off the install bringing your total savings to $500 on any stage of Cartek Heads and cam installed at Cartek. The sale will be running from now until July 11th, 2008.

For any inquiries we can be reached via PM or direct by phone at the shop.

Thanks,
Maxwell Hormilla

For sure ...between the brand new facility and some of the cutting edge ideas that I've been hearing whispered about while I was visiting there the future is looking VERY bright for Cartek Racing and it's clients/customers.

Did you see our in house machine shop??? You can't miss that or our head porting area. Are you sure you have been here?

The heads are ported and machined here. You are right the castings are not from us. They are either a GM casting (LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, etc) or a TFS castings. In either case we do all the work on the heads here.

As for the clutch we have pieces of it made to our specs through different companies and finally assembled here. As for who those companies are, that is of no concern to you. Sorry, but we can't talk about everything

By the way... Nice second post

Max
