TransTec Partners with American Race Cars to Drive Performance Forward

At TransTec, we’ve always believed that excellence starts with the details. That belief has guided our work in developing OE-quality sealing solutions for decades—and now, it’s driving us into the world of high-performance motorsports. Today, we’re proud to announce our partnership with American Race Cars (ARC), a company that shares our passion for precision, innovation, and winning performance.

A Legacy of Performance: The Story of American Race Cars

Founded in 2004 by Mark Horton and Travis Colangelo, American Race Cars quickly established itself as a force in the sportsman drag racing world. With a focus on building high-quality, consistent, and safe dragsters, ARC became known for its swing-arm, uni-shock 4-link chassis—designed to deliver repeatable performance on every pass.

From their facility in Port Clinton, Ohio, ARC has built cars for champions across the country. Their reputation is built not just on engineering excellence, but on a deep commitment to customer service and racer support. Whether it’s a weekend bracket racer or a national-level competitor, ARC treats every build with the same level of care and attention to detail.

Today, under the leadership of Travis Colangelo, ARC continues to innovate and evolve, staying at the forefront of chassis design and fabrication. Their dragsters are a staple in classes like Super Comp, Top Dragster, and beyond—trusted by racers who demand the best.

Why TransTec and ARC Make Sense Together

At first glance, our two companies might seem like an unlikely pair. But when you look closer, the connection becomes clear.

TransTec has long been a trusted name in the automotive industry, known for producing OE-quality sealing components used by major automakers around the world. Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of durability, reliability, and performance—qualities that are just as critical on the drag strip as they are on the production line.

As we expand into the performance market, we’re bringing that same level of engineering rigor to motorsports. And in ARC, we found a partner who shares our values: a relentless focus on quality, a commitment to innovation, and a deep respect for the racers who rely on our products.

This partnership isn’t just about branding—it’s about collaboration. It’s about working together to push the limits of what’s possible, both on and off the track.

Built for Racers, Backed by Engineering

What makes this partnership truly exciting is the alignment between our two companies. ARC builds the kind of cars that demand the best from every component. At TransTec, we deliver sealing solutions that perform under extreme conditions—heat, pressure, vibration—without compromise.

Together, we’re creating a platform that supports racers from the ground up. Whether it’s the chassis that launches them down the track or the seals that keep their systems running smoothly, every part plays a role in performance. And every detail matters.

Looking Ahead

This partnership marks a new chapter for both TransTec and American Race Cars. For ARC, it means access to cutting-edge sealing technology and engineering support. For TransTec, it’s an opportunity to prove our products in one of the most demanding environments in the automotive world.

But most importantly, it’s a win for racers. Because when two companies committed to excellence come together, the result is better performance, greater reliability, and more time in the winner’s circle.
