JE Pistons has successfully unveiled its first-ever Master of Motors competition during the 2018 SEMA Show. JE Pistons, with the help of some of the best motor-minded judges in the industry, recognized engine builders’ hard work, creativity and commitment to combustion on a national stage.

Judges David Freiburger, Brian Lohnes, Steve Brulé and Mike Kojima scoured the Show floor and selected the best engines in attendance to reward them with billet-machined trophies and product certificates.

“Gentlemen” Joe Schubeck received the coveted billet “Engine-uity” trophy as well as $4,500 in product certificates from supporting manufacturers JE Pistons, Dart, K1 Technologies and Trend Performance. All class winners received a $1,000 JE Pistons product certificate to be used on any set of JE pistons, rings, or JE Pro Seal gaskets.

Masters of Motors will return for the 2018 PRI Show, Dec. 6-8, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Judging will begin on Thursday, Dec. 6.
