The owner of Mission Performance Products, Pat Fitzsimons, has been associated with and used Torco Race oils since the mid 1960’s. While growing up in Pico Rivera, CA I was involved with Drag Boat Racing with Lavey Craft Boats and Paul Grichar Engines, all of which used SAE 40 Torco Race Oil. I’ve only been using Torco since that time -- it worked great then -- even better now!

Mission Performance Products is a Torco Lubricants Distributor serving racers, engine builders and all involved in the Hi-Performance Car Hobby. We also restore and rebuild Classic Cars, Hot Rods and Race Cars, all of which use Torco Products to “Protect the Power”.

Vintage Roadracing -- I started racing Vintage Sportscars in 1994, have raced at almost all roadracing tracks in the Western US, from Laguna Seca Raceway, Sears Point Raceway, Seattle’s Pacific Raceway, Portland Int’l Raceway, Phoenix Int’l Raceway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Willow Springs Raceway, Buttonwillow Raceway Park, California Speedway, Palm Springs Grand Prix, L.A. Grand Prix just to name a few; in total have attended and raced at over 150 weekend events, what a “blast”!
