About Black Halo Racing

Black Halo Racing was formed in July of 2007 because we wanted to offer the RX-8 community real, and reasonably-priced, solutions to whatever problems and performance desires they had. Since BHR is comprised of actual Mazda RX-8 owners who are passionate about their cars we feel we are particularly suited to helping our customers achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

About Charles R. Hill

Charles R. Hill, owner of Black Halo Racing, has 25 years of performance automotive experience which started in 1982 with a then-revolutionary 3-year Vocational Automotive Program that his high school offered. That program was modeled upon the very same program offered by MoTech in Livonia, Michigan, which was the only automotive trade school in America until the advent of schools such as WyoTech, UTI, and others.

Even as far back as 1982-1983, Mr. Hill was learning about adaptive PCMs, fuel injection technology, performance applications, and the machinations in the OEM industry. Before starting Black Halo Racing, Mr. Hill also worked over 7 years for Ford Motor Company on the assembly line where he learned about ISO9001 practices, Kaizen manufacturing principles, and several other processes inherent in the OEM industry.

It is through his experiences with Ford Motor Company that Mr. Hill has set the standards and expectations for all of us at Black Halo Racing and we feel that these unique experiences are also what allow BHR to more strongly compete in the performance aftermarket automotive industry. Error rates of less than 1% and customer satisfaction rates of 100% are expected and the norm for Black Halo Racing.
