Behrent™s Performance Warehouse was founded by Harry Behrent in 1972 as Behrent™s Speed Center Inc., a general speed and tire shop aimed at the general automotive market. In 1982, a decision was made to focus on the parts and service market and leave behind Harry™s career as a driver. The speed center has grown to be a nationally known leader in the automotive racing industry.
