Pat is an eight-time professional street world champion, with a career-best eighth-mile time of 3.615 seconds when he clocked 209.23 mph.
He is described as one of the “fiercest competitors” in racing.
The famous racing driver turned his attention to engine building – and found similar levels of success.

Pat managed to turn his engine building skills into a suitable profession.
He leads Pat Musi Racing Engines, which promises the experience and performance of “50 Years of Power.”
