Throughout the company’s history, Split Second has been involved in tuning race cars. Racing is a great way to learn what works and what doesn’t. We make every effort to take what we learn from racing and apply it to our product development. Many of the fault-tolerant protection features that are designed into our products have been proven through the rigors of racing. Of course the idea of racing is to win. We have been fortunate to work on a wide variety of race cars and several winning race programs.
