Woltjer Racing Engines, Company

Woltjer Engines is a family owned business that has been building engines since 1988. Our daily objective is to build the finest quality engines that can be built. We are constantly finding ways to make more horsepower. Woltjer Engines does not have a racing team because we build all motors equally and enjoy providing all of our customers with the direct knowledge and support they need.

Carl took apart the 4-cycle engine and saw numerous ways he thought would improve the engines performance, so he put those ideas into action and rebuilt the motor. Upon Daniel winning his 2nd race, others were interested in having Carl build their motors as well. This was the very early beginning of Woltjer Engines.
