PFC Brakes Remembers Darrick Dong

PFC Brakes Remembers Darrick Dong

PFC Brakes issued a statement saying the industry, and the company, has lost a legend in the passing of Darrick Dong.

PFC’S statement reads:

For nearly 25 years Darrick Dong has contributed to the success of PFC brakes in the racing world.  Steadfast, passionate and a true professional, Darrick’s knowledge of the total braking system has been pivotal to the success of PFC.  Darrick’s ability to educate PFC’s customers on how they properly install, tune and personalize their brake packages, was truly a gift and something to be cherished.  His time and know-how gained at Tilton engineering, along with the years of experience of working with professional race teams are the catalysts of what has elevated the PFC Brakes Motorsports department to what it is today.  Darrick strived to embody every principle that makes the racing industry great with his stubborn “no stone left unturned” demeanor toward troubleshooting a brake system for a customer in need. Darrick was a fierce competitor and always put his customers and racers first. His dedication to PFC and the motorsports industry cannot be rivaled and we will continue to push the NO COMPROMISES™ attitude that he so greatly brought to light in the racing world.  Darrick’s legacy will forever be remembered and ingrained into culture of PFC. 

Rest in peace Darrick,

Team PFC!
