KRE

KRE Race Engines is a family owned and run business by Ken & Wendy McNamara that has emerged from a backyard business to a highly successful fully dedicated race engine workshop in the south-east Brisbane suburb of Redland Bay.

Renowned as leaders in Australia for building race winning engines for numerous Speedway teams throughout Australia and New Zealand as well as engines for Supercar teams such as Triple Eight Race Engineering/RedBull Holden Racing Australia, Brad Jones Racing, Team 18, Tekno Autosports & Matt Stone Racing as well as support categories including Super 2 and Super 3 and TCM (Touring Car Masters).

With Ken’s automotive mechanic trade background, KRE was formed in 1995 as a mechanical workshop.  It then evolved into building Speedway/Sprintcar engines, then Supercar engines and each year building over 100 Sprintcar / Speedway race engines and numerous Supercar engines.  “I still enjoy dynoing the engines myself so I can keep an eye on how they perform before they go out to the customer”, Ken says.
