• Ron Lummus Racing (RLR) has been an industry leader for over 30 years, offering the aftermarket drag racing industry the best in customer service, the latest in technology, and  the most intensive research and development program.

•  At RLR, we manufacture many components ourselves, which allows for effective and  cost efficient research and development. We continuously update our  product designs to provide the very best in racing components. All our  products are track tested to provide you, the customer, with winning  technology. 

RLR  has been successfully turbocharging some of the fastest  Volkswagen engines since 1987. We pioneered the use of the Holley 4  barrel carburetor and made it a industry performance standard for over  30 + years.

With our extensive background and knowledge, let us lead you through  the process of selecting a turbo and building you the most efficient and  trouble free turbo system for your money.
Complete intake runner and plenum designs available with a variety of  exhaust sizes and configurations for daily driver street turbos or full  drag racing applications.

Made to order.

  RLR/Strange 7075 Chevy Rear Disc Brakes are lightweight and made with the highest quality materials and components that are available on the market today. Giving you safety and stopping  power you need whether on the street or strip.  A lightweight braking  system can shed as much as a tenth of a second off your time slip due to  less rotating weight.  Forged one piece steel Pro Race rotors offer  serious weight reduction, strength and longevity.  Radial slots rather  than cross drilled round holes, allow for a controlled rotor collapse  with no distortion and scrape the brake pads clean to eliminate brake  dust.  To increase safety and high mph stopping power all RLR/Strange  Rear Brake Kits are supplied with Strange 4-piston rear calipers.

These cylinder heads have set records in many racing  sanctions including the ECPRA where Pat holds the current Pro Stock E.T  record @5.90 seconds.

The biggest challenge on a VW engine is selecting the appropriate  cylinder head for the intended use of the car.

 For 35 years now, Advanced Chassis  specializes in “door cars”. It turns out there are several types of race cars in drag racing. The long skinny ones are Dragsters, if you sit in the middle of a car it’s called an  Altered, and if you set in the left side and you’re out in the open it’s  called a Roadster. While they do build all of these types of cars along  with mini rod tractor pullers, their core business is cars that look  like regular cars. They take a fiberglass or carbon fiber body that is  just the shell of car and they place it on a jig. Once they get the  right distance off the ground they build the rest of the car. You can  get almost any kind of shell that you want. They have all kinds of cars  in the shop on a regular basis, including: 1963 Avanti, a 2020 Mustang, a  1969 Camaro, 1970 Mustang and others. The prices of some of these  things are astronomical if you’re not used to engines costing eighty  thousand dollars or more! Dan stated the shell of the 2020 mustang was  made from carbon fiber and cost almost fourteen thousand dollars and the  car would be north of a $150,000.00 by the time it goes down the track. 

 When they are not building cars they are building the parts for other  people to build their cars from. They build custom rear-end housings for  drag cars and truck pullers. They build mini rod tractor pullers in kit  form and send them all over the world. They have tractors competing in  England, Australia, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and Germany. They  supply other builders with parts along with the general public through  the internet. They will also build you custom headers for your specific  car or complete turbo systems and all of the plumbing.
