High Performance Heroes is a 501(c)(3) and our organization is based 100% on donations.
​
High Performance Heroes is a group of racers, race fans, and friends dedicated to helping our heroes, combat wounded veterans, work toward their motorsports goals. We have pledged our time, talents, and resources to provide entry level exposure to wheel-to-wheel vintage road racing.
In order to accomplish this goal we, along with the generous support of the motorsports industry development staff and racing fans, modify and develop vintage, small-bore racing cars to meet the specific needs of each of our drivers.
