Marvin Rifchin, the founder of M & H Tire based in Watertown, Mass has passed away. Marvin was 97 years old.
Much of Marvin's success came from drag racing, but the start in the race tire business came from circle track racing in the 1950's. Ron Bouchard ran a small block modified car for years and just killed everyone. Very, very few people know that one of Ron's early cars was owned by Marvin Rifchin. Nothing on that car said M & H or Marvin. It said Bouchard all over it.
That's the man Marvin Rifchin was.........
Marvin took on Goodyear and Firestone Tire and beat those giants more times than they beat him.
Info on arrangements when we hear about them. RIP Marvin.
