ABOUT SGE and the Custom Race Cars We Build

IHRA "Best Engineered Sportsman Car" New England Dragway 2004

The Early Years

Scott Gove Engineering (SGE Racecars) owner Scott Gove began racing in 1990 on the local level - bracket racing a 1966 Chevelle with a 283-cubic inch small-block and a 4-speed transmission. Like everyone, Scott started out small and simple - just to have some fun. It wasn't long before he was addicted to the sport of drag racing and started moving up to faster and more challenging classes.

Without extra cash to devote to the purchase of quality racecars, Scott took on the challenge of learning to build cars for himself. He learned quickly, and soon many of the "local boys" realized his skill and wanted a Scott Gove-built car. Scott's original automotive repair business, Advanced Automotive Services, provided the ideal shop environment to develop his custom racecar designs. After a number of years, and a growing client base, Scott decided to make the break to begin a full-time racecar design and fabrication business.

SGE Expands to Meet Demand

In 2004, Scott Gove completed construction of a new, 6,000 square foot, dedicated racecar fabrication facility. Designed for maximum efficiency, the new shop is equipped with the machinery, tools and space required for all stages of racecar fabrication. Future expansion plans are already on the horizon, as the demand for SGE's custom products and services has been racing forward!

Today, after over a decade of experience, Scott has settled into Super Stock, running Class A Modified. The achievements of Best Appearing, Best Engineered, National Record-Holder, Best of Show, Driver of the Year, Super Stock Class winner, appear on his racing resume. Scott's future plans are to run Comp Eliminator and someday to try Pro Stock.
