Hey there everyone,

Erik Johnson here at The Race Line. I wanted to put up a couple of things here, but one of the things that recently came to light was many people here might not know who I am or what The Race Line actually does, so I thought I would get a bit of information out so everyone was on the same page.

I have been extremely fortunate over the years to work with a great many builders here, helping them with their transaxle selections and parts to address their needs from the engine back. I first worked with the GTM community while working with Tom Conway at Carquip, then later with both CMS (California Motorsports) and GBox.

Recently I decided, to open The Race Line. For those who have been around for several years, I am sure that it has not escaped your attention that this is the second journey for The Race Line. The story is long and sorted, but obviously things did not work out as well as either of us had hoped and here I am again. The Race Line is a company dedicated to working with GTM, RCR, Porsche, MINI, and quite a few others to ensure that their drive-line requirements are met, and at a price that will still fit within the customer's budget. We offer a full line of services, but I have to admit that working with the GTM and RCR builders is still my favorite thing to do.

We offer gearboxes from Audi, Porsche, Quaife, Mendeola and pretty much anyone else that you have a desire to use. We have differentials, clutches, CV Joints, cooling kits, and the list goes on and on. I have no desire to be in competition with anyone, I simply want to work with as many GTM builders as I can. Our kits are as complete as you would like them to be. You can purchase as many or as few parts as you would like. We back everything up 100%, and I think that if you ask around you will find any number of builders here that will be more than happy to share their experiences dealing with me.

I love what I do, and I think that passion shows through where other companies may lack. For years now I have said to my customers, that no matter the time, should you have a question I am always around to help. You can call my work number or my cell anytime you would like. It is VERY rare that you can not reach me, to answer any questions that you might have.

I realize that there are many choices out there for your transaxle needs, I hope you will give me the opportunity to earn your business.

Very best Regards,

Erik Johnson
