Dick Miller

Dick Miller, owner of Dick Miller Racing Inc. began his working life as a journeyman meat cutter in the Michigan area. He attended and graduated from a computer programming institute in Toledo OH, while working as a purchasing agent for an auto related supplier. When this company relocated it's facility in 1983, Dick opened Custom Computer Services, which develops software for a variety of business applications. Dick still writes and modifies all the computer software being used at DMRI. DMRI was established in July of 1992 and incorporates his one and only passion, drag racing! Just like racing, Dick is hands on with the business and he enjoys the personal contact with his customers. Dick being recognized as an expert in Oldsmobile engine building has had many engine building articles published in major magazines such as Hot Rod, Popular Hot Rodding, and Car Craft.

After totaling his Dad’s 56 Oldsmobile and then his Dad’s 57 Oldsmobile while only 16 years old Dick developed a passion for driving Oldsmobiles fast. Dick continued his love affair with fast cars in 1969, racing with Olds power, of course. He still has the 1970 Cutlass W-31 which he purchased new. His list of other race vehicles has included a 1970 442, a 1974 Omega and a custom built 1991 tube chassis Cutlass which ran both NHRA and IHRA in the Super Comp and Quick Rod fields while capable of elapsed times in the 8.5 second range for the quarter mile and reaching speeds over 159 miles per hour. He is a former national record holder and has competed in local, state, and national events, including winning at all levels with his Olds powered vehicles and is the owner of not only an IHRA Walley but also a NHRA one as well. Dick occasionally races his 1970 W-31 with ET’s in the mid 10 second range while still completely street licensed and legal..

In 1995 Dick wanted to expand his Oldsmobile parts business. With his years of winning racing experience and suspension tuning he decided to come out with his DMRI line of rear bolt on 4 link adjustable suspension systems. This line was to be simple enough that it could just be bolted on yet as effective as a professionally custom built system. Since it fit a Cutlass similar kits would also fit a Chevelle, GS, GTO, Camaro, Firebird, and Ford Mustang. With many upgrades over the years the DMRI systems have become known as the best working, strongest, lightest weight, and most adjustable systems on the market. His expert technical advice and suspension knowledge has earned Dick a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable suspension experts in the business. As the owner of DMRI, Dick’s commitment to quality, his belief that customers are the biggest asset, and his past experience and lifelong passion helps him focus on the present and not the past.
