Welcome to W.R.M.

W.R.M.
(Wicken Racing and Machine)

WRM was officially founded in 1990. I was looking for a way to attract sponsors for my racing, MOPAR parts and help launch my machine shop.


Drag Racer:
I have been Drag Racing for 26 years and come from a big Drag Racing Family. I started out at the age of 16 taking my uncle’s truck down the track and was hooked.

Machinist: I have been an Aerospace Machinist for 22 years.  I have a Bridgeport Mill in my shop at home.  I was finding, as I was building my race car, that there were many parts that I was having difficulty finding or that needed modifying to fit my specific needs or were not to the quality I was looking for.  So I set out to fabricate some of my own parts and over the years I have found people with the same problems I had locating parts so I expanded my list of items I fabricate on my mill.

MOPAR Parts Sales: I have owned and bought / traded parts for the several MOPAR vehicles I have owned in the past 27 years and I was running out of room for all of my unused parts. After 9-11 the aerospace industry took a very large hit and I was laid-off. I needed to financially find a way to keep racing. I then decided to start selling some of my un-utilized spare parts.

For a list of my current parts for sale please see my Parts for Sales page.

History of my 1972 Cuda:

Currently I drive a 1972 Cuda that I built myself.

In 1985 I worked with the BASF Training Center in Fife Washington to have students do all the body work on my 1972 Cuda as part of their schooling. (see picture to right)

In 1994 I built my 440 engine with stage 5 heads. This motor was retired the end of the 2003 race season. This motor had 532 runs on the motor before I retired it.

In spring of 2004 I refreshed a 383 truck two barrel motor that I built back in 1994 that had never been run. This is the motor I ran for the entire 2004-2006 season. (see picture at top of page).
