Cary Faas Racing traces its roots to the fast-paced world of American motorsports, where founder Cary Faas first made his mark as a talented sprint car driver. Known for his speed and skill, Faas competed in some of the country’s most prestigious racing series, including the USAC National Sprint Car Series and the California Racing Association (CRA). He became a well-recognized figure in the dirt track community during the late 20th century, racing iconic cars like the #37 and earning accolades for his performance in events like the Tony Hulman Classic.

During his racing career, Faas was known not just for his driving talent but for his mechanical insight—an understanding of what it took to get the most performance from a race machine. This technical expertise would eventually become the foundation for his next venture.

From Dirt Tracks to Dynos

After hanging up his helmet, Cary Faas transitioned from the driver’s seat to the workshop, launching Cary Faas Racing Inc. (CFR), a performance company that quickly made a name for itself in the motorcycle aftermarket industry. Combining his hands-on experience with a passion for performance, Faas began designing and manufacturing high-quality exhaust systems—most notably for Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

CFR mufflers became known for their deep, rumbling tone and performance-enhancing design, featuring true megaphone baffles and precision engineering. Riders appreciated not only the aggressive sound but also the power gains and sleek styling that CFR products delivered.

Legacy of Performance

Today, Cary Faas Racing stands as a respected name in both motorsports and motorcycle performance. Whether on the dirt ovals of sprint car racing or the highways roared down by Harley riders, Cary Faas’ legacy continues to echo—loud, fast, and unmistakably bold.
