40 Years of Racing Excellence
One of the many things I like about my job is going to the
track and listening to people tell me what it was like
racing with my dad, Dick Moroso. Some remember
working on cars together, others about the races they won because
of his talent for making speed parts. It’s hard to imagine how
different racing was back in the ‘60’s. Companies that made trick
parts were few and far between, and if you needed a competitive
advantage you either had to make it yourself or go to someone like
Dick Moroso to make it for you.
Take hardened wheel studs. He came up with the idea after
snapping the stock ones launching his new ‘Vette right into the Christmas
tree. He also introduced tie down straps after his race car rolled off
the trailer when a chain broke. More importantly, the “speed
merchant” pioneered the deep sump oil pan, tall valve
covers, anti-cavitating oil pumps, lightweight front drag tires, and
many other go-fast parts. Today we take these products for granted,
but back then it was my dad’s pioneering and competitive spirit that
made it happen.
Forty years after dad turned his passion for racing into a formal
business and ten years into my leadership, Moroso Performance is
stronger than ever. With a dedicated crew of professionals using the
latest CAD/CAM software and CNC machinery, we’re not only
maintaining the precision and quality of the parts my dad created,
but we’re constantly breaking ground with new innovations. Our
family of companies are also fiercely dedicated to making sure that
the same level of detail and quality that go into building parts
for the nation’s top race teams also go into the products we build for
your performance street car.
All of us at Moroso take great pride in our rich racing heritage and
we look forward to the next 40 years. Thank you for your loyal
support, and best of luck with your performance projects. See you
at the track!
Sincerely,
Rick Moroso
