The leap

We decided to take our design and manufacturing capabilities to the automotive aftermarket using the new FR-S/BRZ platform as our entry into the market. We purchased a new Scion FR-S and started using the car as a development tool to create and test new products. Mark this year as the year where Raceseng takes off!

1957

The True Founder

Bill Seng, an innovative self taught engineer and mechanic laid the foundational groundwork of the Raceseng legacy. Pictured here, Bill is standing by a 1/4 midget which he designed, created and hand crafted in a single car garage with only a drill press, band saw, welder and your basic hand tools.

1986

Competitive

Glen’s desire to be more competitive led him to build a 358 c.i. small block chevy that had a 9:1 compression ratio. The holley carburetor was totally re-calibrated and machined to run alcohol by Glen. He also fabricated and designed his own crank trigger ignition system.

1985

Search For Speed

Glen hand crafted a new body and designed, built and machined a slick 2 speed manual transmission. The transmission featured an internal lightweight clutch that allowed the engine instantaneous acceleration and deceleration. Ultimately allowing the car to accelerate out of the corners quicker.

1983

Back to the dirt track

Glen always had a passion for circle track dirt racing and decided to make a change to small block modifieds. With a limited budget, Glen purchased a used Haraca coil over chassis and built a 302 c.i. small block chevy. This picture shows Glen holding a check from the first feature race that he qualified and finished with no brakes.

1982

Living the dream

Glen bracket raced his Coronet for a final season all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He was a young adult living the performance dream.

1981

Lunatic

The desire and pursuit for more performance continued into 1981 when Glen fitted the car with 426 cu.in. stage 3 max wedge cylinder heads. His et. dropped another .2 secs into the low 11′s & low 120 MPH.

1980

The Debut

After two years of late nights in his garage, Glen debutted the car at New Media Dragway. After several break in runs the car ran a 13.8 sec. et. In the effort to search for more speed, Glen realized the carburetor was too lean and need to flow more fuel. After changing the carburetor jets, the car instantly responded and ran a 11.4 sec. et.

1979

The Conversion

The street to drag conversion started by putting the car on a weight diet. The entire car was gutted internally, the front cross member lightened, a Dana 60 rear end was narrowed 13″ and the car was tubbed to fit 13″ wide drag slicks. The power plant was a modified 440 cu. in. wedge with a B&M torqflite automatic. Pictured here is Glen prepping his ride at Newtown Auto Body.

1978

Street to Drag

Glen’s passion for motorsports continued beyond 1/4 midgets with the build of a 65 Dodge Coronet. After years of learning and watching his father, the innovative genes were passed onto him. The car was originally purchased as Glen’s daily driver and after several run ins with the speeding tickets, he realized that his street car was really meant to be raced on a drag strip.

1968

Offyette

Bill’s second creation was code named the “offyette” and driven by his youngest son, Glen. This was a factory built car that Bill highly modified. The list of innovations include, positive drive belt clutch system, dual rear wheel brakes, ram air tuned induction system, pressurized engine oiling system and a fiberglass tubed chassis. In 1968 this combination held the one lap track record at Kuhnsville. It was truly a racecar that was years ahead of its time.

1959

Sengie Special

Code named the “sengie special”, Bill’s creation was driven by his two sons Bill jr. and Richie at Lehigh Valley 1/4 midget dirt race track in Kuhnsville, Pennslyvania. Part of Bill’s unique creation was the parallel rear torsion bars, an internal coil spring suspension system and a dynamic motor plate which enabled the motor to move in relation with the axle.
