About Us

Trick Titanium began over 35 years ago in a small aircraft welding shop. In 1970, the “Motown Missile” driver, Dick “Barney” Oldfield, and Ted Spehar, the motor builder, found the shop down the street from their operation. When the racers felt the light-weight products made from titanium, they realized what this meant for them, faster cars without the drag from heavy parts.

When the “Motown Missile” was revealed in 1973 at Pomona, other drivers caught a glimpse of the small titanium suspension pieces. Don Carlton drove the Dodge to a time of 9.22 seconds, the quickest run ever recorded by an NHRA-legal Pro Stocker at the time. When the “Motown Missile” blew past the competition, the Trick Titanium received hundreds of phone calls for titanium fabricated parts. The first retainers ever distributed were to Chrysler Corporation in 1972.

In 1975, as word began to spread of the weightlessness of the titanium, General Motors Performance crew purchased products in large quantities. Eventually, the performance division of Ford, SV0, circulated the products and indirectly distributed them to Roush Racing. Finally, when Ford backed off performance racing, Trick was picked up by Cam Dynamics and later Cam Companies in the same year.
