Winston Cup & Busch series team owner, engine builder, car builder, crew chief tire changer, transmission / rear end specialist and corporate pilot, these are but a few of the hats that Bob and Dick Rahilly have worn in the last 25 years. From the first home built race car at age 16 to the 33,000 square foot facility called the “Rahmoc complex” the brothers Rahilly have done it all.

First and foremost they are engine builders. From the awesome power of the world championship winning big-block Chevy off-shore engines, to the race winning reliability of 600 mile Winston cup small blocks, the brothers have risen to the top of racing’s elite. Having built engines for the likes of Morgan Shepard, Joe Rutman, Neil Bonnet, A.J. Foyt, Lake Speed, John Andretti, Harry Gant, Joe Bessey, Mike Curb, Perry Tripp, Buddy Griffin, Robert Hamkey, Billy Barnwell, Gary Balough, as well as most of the Petty family including Kyle, Adam, Maurice, Richie, and King Richard. As you can see the Rahilly name runs deep in racing.

The search for horsepower began in Florida with the opening of Rahilly & Grady Racing Engines in 1977. Only one year later, the domination began with an unprecedented 77 feature wins. A mere two years later saw the Rahilly brothers engines win offshore power boating’s most coveted titles for both the United States and the World. While busy dominating the local tracks and offshore world, Bob Rahilly met with a Miami car owner by the name of Butch Mock and together they formed “Rahmoc Racing Enterprises” in 1978. The new partners entered their first Winston cup race at Charlotte in October 1978 - And saw their first victory at the Miller 300 in Charlotte in 1981. In 1986 Rahmoc moved in to it’s current home, a then state of the art facility consisting of 33,000 square feet on 90 acres. All through the 1980s and into the 1990's, the Rahmoc name was near the top of the Winston cup points, finishing as high as 4th overall in l983 and never outside of the top 20 in almost 15 years. But Bob’s first love was with engines, and in 1993 the partnership between Butch and Bob was dissolved. Since that time Rahmoc has moved forward into the racing engine business. With Bob and Dick Rahilly doing what they do best building strong, reliable racing engines.

Today Rahmoc is still a full service shop with sublet venders on the property such as Pro-Fab headers. We currently are building engines for NASCAR Busch and Truck series teams. However, our mission statement differs from other “engine builders”.

 

We do not want to build engines for everyone! We only want to work with teams that have a goal and desire to win! Our past history does not allow us the luxury of lackluster performance. We have a reputation within the NASCAR community of being winners, and we want to do business with the same, We at Rahmoc have no intention of supplying our customers with “off the shelf’ performance. We will always limit ourselves to a number of clients that we can comfortably service with our full and complete attention.
