About Frank Weiss Racing Components

Frank Weiss, the entrepreneur and president of FWRC, began making components for race cars after a debilitating accident at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway ended his driving career. Frank worked part-time out of his garage until 1981, when he relocated his growing business to a shop at Park Fletcher.

Frank named the company Frank Weiss Racing Components in conjunction with a move to a shop on Gasoline Alley. He was a major fitting supplier for Mike Fanning, whose engines won the Indianapolis 500 in 1980 and 1983.

Seeing that the future of machining would be in programmable machines, Frank purchased his first CNC mill in 1986. Two years later, he purchased his first CNC turning center.

The business moved to its current location, 140 Gasoline Alley, in 1990. The next year Frank purchased his first Haas CNC machining center. Since then FWRC has become the second largest Haas CNC customer in the state of Indiana .

2004 has been a year of growth as FWRC expanded its facility, more than doubling available workspace, and added another Haas CNC machining center. Frank's son, Wade, has assumed responsibility for most of the day-to-day operations while Frank travels to races and visits customer facilities to provide customer and technical support.
