Griffin, one of our longtime partners builds the highest-quality Radiators, Coolers and Heat Exchangers in the industry. As an integrated manufacturer, they controll every step of the manufacturing process. They produce products specific to your application that more efficiently cool your engine.

You have seen JMS logo’s on my cars for many years now and my friend Chris Johnson, owner of JMS sees to it that not only do my racecars run their very best but also my Tow Vehicles run as efficiently as possible with improved power and drivability. Their electronic components are some of the most technologically advanced in the industry today, utilized by OEM’s and consumers alike.

The family owned and operated Meziere Enterprises, for 27 years has been building the very best products they know how to produce. Their wide array of machining, manufacturing capabilities and attention to detail always makes them my “go to” not only for Water Pumps (which are a work of art, BTW) but any number of car-building products. They provide outstanding customer service and always do «just a little more» than you’d expect.

ing out for my data. It’s my new tool for doing business. Mobilo is the smartest business card on the block. Created by Pieter Limburg, together with partners Nico & Joey, they have created a single business card that all but eliminates the traditional paper card. Their “smart digital business cards empower better business connections across the globe and cut out the associated waste of paper cards and printing chemicals. There’s not a person I show my single card to that doesn’t love the look and usefulness of the Mobilo product. Not just my address and phone number but with any “smart device” with a camera, a colleague can instantly pull up all of my contact information, enter it into their data base and allow me to keep track of who’s reaching out for my data. It’s my new tool for doing business.

At the risk of “over hyping” a product, I can honestly say Molecule brand cleaning products are part of my “every day life”. We use their care-car products at the shop on the cars and I use their apparel cleaning products at home to care for my driver and active gear. Add the fact that Molecule is owned by my longtime friend Frank Bain is only icing on the cake. From your workout clothes to helmets, cars or motorcycles, look to Molecule to help you “Keep It Clean”.

MPI (Max Papis Innovations) was started by a racer, for racers. Through Max’s successful racing career, he saw a need for a Steering Wheel that was better than what was currently available. Through tireless Torque Structural testing, he developed steering wheels that perform and feel as good as they look. I can’t say how many times a fellow driver has asked me about the steering wheel on my cars. After a quick “show and tell” about them, the final sentence of the conversation always ends with, “I want one”.

Many people think an engine’s air cleaner is “the first line of defense” for keeping dirt out of your engine but in fact, the air filter can do a better job of keeping dirt out of your engine if you first, keep dirt from getting to your air cleaner. That’s where Outerwears products come into play and keeping your filters clean does as much for your engine as keeping dirt out of your radiator does in keeping your engine cool. My car’s simply don’t go on the track without them and I know that my engines are happier for it.

As one of my longest-running marketing partner relationships, Quarter Master is my “one stop shop” when it comes to Clutch and related components. Having been in this market for 65-years, they are the leader in this segment and in their use of the most sophisticated state-of-the-art CNC equipment available, they build the finest driveline components that money can buy. They offer a wide array of products including multi-plate clutches, aluminum and steel drive-shafts, quick change gears, starters, hydraulic release bearings as well as “made-to-order” products. They are yet another one of my partners that offer the best possible products at a value-level that every racer can afford.

I got my first Simpson helmet while racing Go-Karts in High School. Since then, they have been my brand of choice for all of my Driver Gear. They are on the cutting-edge of fabric-technology and their willingness to meet any of my custom design request keep me coming back, year after year. No matter what team I’m driving for, I tell them, “I’m a Simpson Guy so design my suit however you want it to look, and I’ll send it to Simpson for them to make it.”

Handcrafted in Chicago, IL, Safecraft Restraint Systems products are designed by skilled craftsman who are themselves Veteran racers. They dedicate their efforts to constantly developing new ways to improve today’s safety equipment and have been keeping me safe in my racecars for over 10-years. They work great, they look great and they customer service is impeccable.

For many years, Randy LaJoie was a customer of mine where he wore more than a couple helmets that I designed while he was becoming a NASCAR Champion. Now I am a customer of his, sitting in the “custom formed” seats that he designs. The back of my body is not shaped like a square and The Joie of Seating seats are not square either (like many other on the market), they’re shaped like me and because of this, are the most comfortable and safe race seats that I have ever sat in. Like a custom made suit, their seats are custom made to suit every shape and size of driver. They’re comfortable, they look great and first in foremost, they are the safest seat available on the market today.

Founded by my friend Gerald Williams and now guided by his son, Daniel, Tiger Rear Ends has been a leader in Quick Change Rear Ends since 2002. When “big name” drivers you look up to use a product, you pay attention and the attention to strength and detail that Tiger puts into every one of the rear ends makes it easy to see why so many top drivers and teams use their products. I’ve always put a high value of customer service and they have always exceeded my expectation, making me a loyal customer and strong supporter of the brand.

Using the Vibrant Flexible Couplings and Exhaust V-Bands was how I first came to the brand back while competing with my Drift Car. Now that I’ve come back to my “circle track” roots, I’m excited to share their wide-range of products with a new segment of car enthusiasts. They offer such great innovation and problem-solving products that they make any car-build project easier and more dependable. As more dirt racing teams learn about their products through our association, the more Vibrant Performance Products will continue to grow in use and popularity.

If you know racing, then you know Wilwood. They are, hands-down, the most popular brand of Brake Components in circle-track racing today, whether it be on asphalt or dirt. Having an extremely long relationship with Wilwood gives me the assurance that I’m always up on what the top-level teams are using in terms of braking components. While being at the forefront of braking technology, they remain affordable to the “Saturday Night Racer” who needs not only performance but value as well. I’ve used Wilwood Brakes on every race car and a lot of the performance street cars that I’ve owned over the years. Between the quality of their products, their Customer Service and the friends I have within the company, I can’t see any reason to go anywhere else for all of my brake component needs.
