Feature Interview

This weeks interview is with the founder and president of Race Ramps, Rich Heinz. Rich grew up near the dunes of Michigan and was exposed to the various off road vehicles used in the sand. He tried to avoid fast cars as they always seemed to get him into trouble. Believe it or not though, but the story of Race Ramps began not with cars….but with hot tubs!

Rich owned a hot tub retail store and was researching a way to make better hot tub covers using lightweight high density foam and other products. At the same time he was visiting a friend with a new Corvette, and they were having difficulty finding a set of ramps to get it up in the air for maintenance due to the fact that the Vette was so low slung.  It was then when he was hit with the idea of making ramps from the high density foam material and he “dropped the hot tub cover like a bad habit” and never looked back.
