Great product and service! Turn around time was amazingly fast. Quality of parts were excellent. Definitely contacting again for my next build. ~Tad. D.

 

Starting in 1982, Mike Riechers first opened a general machine shop. In 1985, R&R Machine Shop added an automotive machine shop that transitioned into manufacturing specialty racing parts, including R&R Racing Products now famous for their Pro-Series billet connecting rods. By 1995, R&R’s connecting rod business took over and the general and automotive portion of the machine shop was downsized. R&R began manufacturing oil pumps in 1999 and billet steel connecting rods in 2005.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”left-to-right”]Mike’s interest in racing began with a small-block Chevy powered ‘77 Vega seen regularly at the local strip. Mike met his future wife Julie in 1986 and together they built a blown gas ’71 Chevelle. They married in 1988 and by 1992 they had started 1/4 mile drag boat racing, winning the championship title in 1997, 1998, and 1999 leading to his NDBA Driver of the Year in 1999.

Mike retired from boat racing to let his wife, Jules, take a stab at racing. She continued to excel with blown alcohol dragster, blown alcohol pro modified, the Lucas 4 wheel drive pulling truck to the current blown alcohol Grand National mini rod pulling tractor. This heritage of racing and performance is second only to the passion they bring to their business founded on the family love for speed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1442860071709{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][thim-heading title=”WHY CHOOSE R & R RACING PRODUCTS”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1443848138439{padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1443848117976{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_text css_animation=”left-to-right” css=”.vc_custom_1481143812022{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]It’s more than likely someone you know or race against runs R&R billet aluminum connecting rods and oil pumps that can be found in top-performing engines and race cars around the world.
