“We have recognized that Sprint Car and Midget racing isn't cheap," explained Troy Thompson, President of TTI Machine. “We are trying to get the prices down and sell directly to our friends, family and racers. We are the manufacturer of a lot of pavement open wheel parts so we can sell directly to the teams and cut out the middleman.”
