That place is Porter Race Cars, of Riverside, California.

The 8,500 sq. ft. facility houses both Porter Race Cars and PRC engineering Inc. a separate company formed to provide in house CAD and CAM machining.PRC Engineering was formed by a partnership between Danny, Rod & Chris Muller, all three devoted to producing state of the art racing vehicles and components. PRC Engineering maintains a separate, fully temperature controlled environment for ultimate precision. Controlled by master machinist Darrel Reid, the HAAS VF-5 Vertical Machining Center and HAAS SL-30 Lathe produce some of the finest aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium components available today... not just for desert racing, but for the food and medical industry as well. Aside from housing some of the most advanced machining equipment in the industry, PRC also has some of the most talented and forward thinking fabricators and machinists in existence.
