Masters of Motors will be judged by three of the biggest names in horsepower, drag racing, and engine tech: Steve Brulé of Westech Performance, Brian Lohnes the Editor-in-Chief of BangShift.com, MotoIQ Editor-in Chief, Mike Kojima, and the one-and-only David Freiburger of HOT ROD Magazine, Roadkill, and Engine Masters fame. These heroes of horsepower will combine forces, scouring both the SEMA and PRI shows to find the best motors of the year.
