About Nelson Racing Engines
The name NELSON RACING ENGINES has become synonmous with extreme horspower applications.
When professional car builders and car owners are looking to "push the envelope" of power and drivability, they call on NRE.
Whether looking for 2,000hp+ race application, or a 1,500hp street application, NRE has been building turn-key solutions for super motors for over 11 years.
Put simply - we are gear-heads. We love high-horsepower performance and always have. It began with the question: "What if...?" and turned into a quest to squeeze every inch of power using innovative thinking combined with proven theory.
Nelson Racing Engines opened their doors in 1995. 11 years later, owner Tom Nelson creates combinations with the passion he had when building hot rods as a teen for his friends. "That's what keeps us at our best. There is so much to learn. I'm always a student," says Tom. "I eat, sleep, and breathe my profession and want to provide my customers with the best that I can offer. There is nothing more satisfying than getting to know my customer and setting out to achieve his (or her!) goals. It's what gets me up in the morning."

Nelson Supercar #007 Mid Engine All Wheel Drive 2000 hp
Posted Monday 06-22-2009Travis Laboy, defensive end for the Arizona Cardinals, has enlisted Nelson Supercars to build the World's most wicked GTO .
Travis has given us a "no holds barred" approach and is allowing us to be creative as we want with the build.That being said, this GTO is going to be developed NRE-stlye. Rather than try to make a supercar out of a GTO, we've decided to build a super car first...then slap a GTO body on it.
We are designing a completely new car entirely in Solid Works CAD software. We will do full suspension analysis and create race car geometry not possible with the original equipment. Of course, with all that chasis work, we wouldn't want to let anyone down, so we are going to place a Nelson Racing Engine 2000hp twin turbo 572 BBC, mid ship behind the front seats...oh yeah, and its going to be all wheel drive! This will be our wildest build to date.
We hope to inspire a lot of our fellow hot rodding friends and showcase what NRE is capable of. I will be sending updates to everyone on the Pit Pass so you can follow the build from start to finish. Check out some pictures of this creme puff. Although it looks rough, we found it in the dessert where it sat for 20 years. The metal is actually quite nice. I also posted a rough idea of the look we will be shooting for.
Until the next time talk to you soon,
Tom
