What Is Masters of Motors
Masters of Motors, which was first unveiled at the 2018 SEMA and PRI shows, was a huge success and will take place again next at the 2019 SEMA show. Have a winning engine that will be at the show? Read the contest details below and be ready to enter your engine as soon as registration opens!
SEMA and PRI, the two biggest gatherings of automotive enthusiasts, manufacturers, racers, and builders are awash in the glitz, glam, and sparkle of fresh paint. They’re the Automotive Academy awards, an internal crowning by peers of the best builds of the year. However, such awards –until now– have been only skin deep. In an industry built on speed, that simply won’t do.
Check out the videos featuring the Judging and how it was all done last year!

What Can I Win?
Enter JE Pistons’ Masters of Motors, the first engine-only competition that will judge on the artistry, uniqueness, and craftsmanship of engine building. Masters of Motors will put engine builders front and center, rewarding the hard work and delicate skill of engine building on a national stage!

One deserving, overall winner (at each show) will receive the coveted Masters of Motors “Engine-uity Trophy,” an 85-pound, billet-work of art awarded to the best overall engine of SEMA 2019 and PRI 2019.
