iagree I don't know them (although the name Wheatcraft sounds familiar), but this has to be a good thing!

They are true Mopar people - they run a couple of dragsters and a car - also sell all the Mopar merch at the Mopar events out of a vendor trailer - they always ran Indy motors in their race cars and had a good relationship with Indy - I wish the best for them - just finally glad somebody bough indy

Sounds like it might be good news.

I guess they've been trying to sell for quite a long time.

I guess Schumaker saw the hand writing on the wall.
Wasnt profitable enough, and bailed on the business.
Not really sure what they bought.
Outdated equipment, floppy disc CNC programs.
I tried some indy small block stuff.
Got a few good closeout deals on some parts.

I wonder if Russ will stay on board? Hopefully he wont be answering the phones!

Hopefully that is good news for everybody. I'll help the new owners if they want it. I tried to help Russ over the years but he typically wasn't interested in any suggestions.

The Wheatcraft’s are top notch people. I have known them since the 80’s. I wish them all the best and will support them as much as possible. Birdtracker

I'm heading out to PRI tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a chance to talk to them and find out what they're plans are moving forward.

I talked with Chris today and the first thing they want to do is get blocks in stock and keep them in stock.

I'd expect there needs to be a transition period for the change in ownership... but the sooner the Flagle Factor can be removed from the operation, the better.

Never have I seen a company with such a market stranglehold (in years past) that continually shot themselves in the foot by having a bad attitude!


'63 Dodge 330
11.19 @ 121 mph
Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs.
10.01 @ 133mph with a 250 shot of nitrous an a splash of race gas. 1.36 60 ft. 3,700 lbs.

As with all other companies being sold there will be a transitional period. Hopefully the Wheatcrafts will not keep ANY of the Indy management around. As stated, the Wheatcrafts, are some serious Mopar racers and have had ties to Indy Cylinder Heads for a long time time. If you want to see one BAD to the bone race car, Google Wheatcrafts Dodge Demon. It is a piece of art for sure.

I would be curious to hear if Indy Heads will be at the PRI show next week.

I talked to Ken today about my junk. I'm just trying to pick up power. He gave a few suggestions and was top notch, just like last time I talked to him. I hope he is still involved a little

Good luck to the new Owners. I'm glad to see Indy stay open
