The Miami Brothers Who Invaded 1980s NASCAR: Rahmoc's Race Shop Time Capsule

What happens here

The owner highlights a specific Rahmoc Racing engine plate, noting its 7/16-inch bolts, which were considered oversized for the time to prevent oil pump bolts from fracturing. He shares an anecdote about a boat customer who promised to buy them a dyno if they got more equipment, which led to the acquisition of their original dyno in 1981, a Stuska model. He points out various headers, including a set of 'equal length' headers, emphasizing the constant innovation in maximizing performance.

Goal: Understand specific engineering solutions and the process of acquiring key testing equipment.

Tools and materials

  • Engine Dynamometer — Measuring engine horsepower and torque
  • Headers — Optimizing exhaust flow
  • Rahmoc Racing Engine Plate Rahmoc Racing — Engine component with custom bolt holes

What they say

Hide

their own 1977. Wow. Well this is this is teardown like right here so there was you know oil mist all that and just just isolate the machines from the teardown and just just a little little space. You want to compartment middle eyes a little bit but still want to be able to wave at each other. When did you add the other buildings? The building the first building all the way down that that was originally prefab that was that's where Steve had prefab started his header business. Really? And we actually built that business for a guy by the name of Chuck Cece who was an engine builder in Miami that was wanted to leave that area he was going to start building engines up here so Bob built the shop for him and he decided not to stay here he went up to Ohio instead and he does all all the dirt modified flyer cards you know dirt stuff from Syracuse and all that Cece's performance and then Steve added the second building because his header business expanded but before that was built the brick building directly behind the shop before people had tie pull down rigs Bob and Butch decided to build a pit there's a pit in there and it's you run the thing up on a maybe 12 16 inch I-beam and they were going to put eyelets in the floor and pull the car down
