Engle Racing Cams has a highly respected history and reputation dating back nearly half a century. Jack Engle was one of the true pioneers of the hot-rodding sport which has its roots in Southern California. Jack began his racing career in the late 1930's as a member of the Low Flyers Hot Rod Club of Santa Monica, California. One of his first rods, a McCulloch-blown Cragar/Modal "T" on A-rails, fittedwith a cam Jack designed, turned 113 MPH at El Mirage in 1939.

Jack officially founded Engle Racing Cams in 1941, and in the succeeding years, countless records were set with Engle Cams in cars, boats, and motorcycles. The Engle reputation continues today with Engle Racing Cams the top choice of famous engine builders and race teams. Builders like Keith Black, Traco Engineering, Joe Mondello Racing Engines, and Schlieper's Speed Shop rely on the quality and performance of Engle Cams, as do top racing teams like Dan Gurney's All American Racers, Roland Leong's Hawaiian Punch Funny Car, and Ford's Off Road Team with driver Manny Esquerra.

Even though Jack Engle is now retired, the tradition of Engle Cam performance and quality has been handed down to and is being carried on by his sons Mark, general manager, and Doug, production manager. When it comes to making engines perform, Engle Cams remain the top choice of the nation's best engine builders.
