Joe Hrudka
Joe began racing in the 50s driving a coupe Midwest. After encountering the same gasket problem everyone else was facing, he had a few special compound caskets made. Before long, other racers were having Joe get these gaskets made for them. He sold the gaskets out of his car at the races soon Mr. Gasket. Mr. Gasket was one of the first companies to have a support rig at the races, working on everything from clutches to suspension parts. Joe and his companies would continue to develop equipment that has provided greater performance and safety for all forms of racing.
