Dart Machinery has signed an agreement to sponsor the the Professional Drag Racers Association’s Top Dragster class.
“We are thrilled to have such a well-known and respected company as Dart Machinery join the PDRA as sponsor of the Top Dragster class,” said PDRA Race Director Bob Harris. “Their products are known far and wide and used by a number of the top racers in the world, including many PDRA competitors. Dart joins an impressive and growing list of top industry sponsors and supporters who have gotten behind the PDRA, and we can’t thank them enough.”
Troy, Michigan-based Dart Machinery, which has been in business since 1981, was founded by mechanical mastermind Richard Maskin.
Maskin is well known to drag racing fans as the man whose engines have won NHRA Pro Stock championships and dozens of national events. Like many successful entrepreneurs, Maskin turned his passion for drag racing into a thriving enterprise. From humble beginnings in a two-car garage in Oak Park, Michigan, Dart has become a leader in aftermarket cylinder heads, intake manifolds and engine blocks.
The company’s first products were aluminum Hemi cylinder heads that dominated the Top Fuel and Funny Car categories. These purpose-built heads provided the power that ultimately broke drag racing’s 300 mph barrier and produced the first four-second Funny Car elapsed time.
Today, the company has expanded its product line to include aluminum and cast-iron engine blocks that are designed to meet the specialized needs of racers and performance enthusiasts. Dart components are developed in-house, manufactured on Dart’s own CNC machining centers, and tested on Dart’s computer-controlled engine dyno.
Maskin keeps current with the continuous advances in racing technology through Dart’s in-house engine program.
“Our engine program and our daily interaction with leading engine builders and winning racers keeps Dart on the leading edge of technology,” Maskin said. “We apply everything we learn to produce more powerful and more reliable parts for Dart customers.”
Dart Machinery’s Technology Center in Troy, Michigan, houses the company’s administrative offices, the R&D headquarters, and inspection, machining and warehouse operations. The immense CNC machining centers that produce Dart heads and blocks from raw castings are located in a separate manufacturing facility in nearby Melvindale, Michigan.
