Welcome Race Fans

       Welcome to the new Root Bros. blog! This page will be a great place for us to showcase some of our designs, builds, and paint jobs. Along with ongoing discussions pertaining to HOT RODS, VINTAGE RACE CARS, and VINTAGE MOTORCYCLES. My brother David Root and I have been painting hot rods and race cars since we were 10 years old, beginning with the restoration of our 1958 Mantz ¼ midget that our father Andy helped us complete. Since then we have painted everything from custom bicycles to Top Fuel drag cars.

      Some of our more creditable work can be seen on the vintage INDECISION A/FX, Spirit of Sayler Park sprint car, and the Push and Cane Top Gas dragster. Throughout our lives my brother David and I have been obsessed with racing. Growing up in Southern Indiana my brother and I were lucky enough to get to experience the greatest racing in the world! From watching sprint cars battle it out every Saturday night on the local 3/8 mile dirt oval to watching John Force pedal an uncontrollable nitro burning Funny Car down a ¼ mile at Indianapolis Raceway Park we’ve seen some of the most adrenalin pumping action that racing has to offer.

      My brother and my goal has always been to create INOVATIVE and ENERGETIC new designs that appeal to racers and hot rodders for generations to come. Thanks for stopping by and checking out our page. And stay tuned for more ACTION!


David and I built this bike for the 2014 Cincinnati Cavalcade of Custom's Pinstripers Panel Jam. It auctioned off for $3,000. All proceeds benefited The Cincinnati Shriners Hospital

We painted this 1950's Hillegass sprintcar, the Spirit of Sayler Park, in memory of the Soudrette racing family
