My Story

I have loved racing from day one. My grandpa and I started at 3 years old; he would take me to races all over the Tri-State area to watch and help Harold Redman. I grew up in a golden age of racing, watching Charlie Swartz, Jack Boggs, Scott Bloomquist, Donny Moran, Bill Moyer, and many others. We started racing in 1992. My grandfather picked up an old Margay Bandito chassis and had a 4 HP Briggs and Stratton. We started with Dunlop tires and had no idea what to do.  From humble beginnings and not having anything, we learned how to fix things and work on stuff. It was a part of being poor.

Stealth Clutches happened by accident. A friend at the racetrack had a problem with an old clutch; I told him to throw it in the back of the truck, and I’ll fix it and bring it back next week. I fixed it, brought it back, and he absolutely loved it. Afterwards, he said it was wonderful and just as good as when it was new. He told his buddy, and I fixed his clutch. It snowballed from there. All these years, through word of mouth, we now have products across the globe.

Stealth Clutches was started in a tiny building with nothing. I was scraping and working all hours of the night for many years. I was glad to do it. Eventually, there was a mound of clutches on the bench, and we needed to name it something. The name Stealth Clutches is not merely to reference the military, but mainly because I didn’t see it coming. We used Magneto font for Stealth Clutches, and Impact in italics and bold because we could type that logo. It wasn’t until I started getting wraps from Don Spatorico, with Spats Graphics, that an actual logo was created. Don made a beautiful logo that we still use to this day, UNALTERED. He put a lot of time into it, ensuring details such as the placement of the flag and direction was correct. It’s a beautiful piece that means a lot to me.  

We continue to grow. It’s crazy to sit back and think that we started in a shed that was maybe 8’x10’; it didn’t even have a garage door. Later, we upgraded and kept getting bigger and bigger.  It’s been tough, but I’m super thankful for everyone that trusts in my business and our shop to be a part of their program. There are so many options, and we absolutely treasure everyone that is there. Thank you for everything and all the wonderful years. We are going to continue growing, and it’s going to get bigger and better. There is a lot of cool stuff on the horizon.
