As founder and president of Moroso Performance Products, Dick was an avid enthusiast, whose commitment to industry causes was matched by his support of racing and hot rodding programs and events. Dick saw much success as a Modified Production drag racer before making the switch to manufacturing speed parts, and worked hard to build awareness for the warehouse distribution network. Moroso racing products changed the industry, from revolutionary electric water pumps to racing vacuum pumps. The company also owns the Moroso Motorsports Park in Florida.
