I have had less and at times more -- I stand to try -- but not to be given!

ASE & IRONMAN Chassis

Aaron Sipple, as owner and operator of ASE & IRONMAN Chassis, has experienced many major accomplishments over the course of his business and career in racing. Aaron has been around and has had experience in racing since the 80’s. For ten years Aaron helped to run and operate the family owned drag strip in Clay City, Kentucky. With his experience and talent for tuning, Aaron successfully tuned his father’s car as the first ever to win a national event in top dragster with a supercharger. In 2002 he did the same and tuned the first ever top dragster to win a national event with a hemi supercharger. For two years, Aaron also tuned and was crew chief for an alcohol funny car competitive in the IHRA national circuit as well as having experience with the family Top Fuel Team for the past eight years. In addition, Aaron tuned the worlds fastest automatic altered in the Pro Top Outlaws association that was runner up for the 2005 season, and in 2002 received the Best Engineered award at the Rockingham national event for a ‘68 Camaro that was assembled and built in the shop. At the 2008 Snowbird Winter Nationals in Brandenton, FL, Aaron tuned a Top Dragster to the winner circle while setting the national record with a 5.77 at 241mph.

ASE & IRONMAN Chassis is a manufacturing facility for high end chassis and racing products that are on the cutting edge of racing technology and engineering. In 2008 we introduced our newly produced one-piece dragster bodies, a rare product available in the industry. We have over eighteen years experience in the industry and a variety of experiences from tuning to fabricating, to engine building and driving. Our unique diversities and wide range of experiences make us one of a kind!

As a whole, ASE & IRONMAN Chassis, located in Berea, Kentucky, provide combined services of merchandising and manufacturing. ASE was built and established in mid 2002 and started off as a race shop offering services in engine building, fabrication, car building, tuning services and other specialized jobs in the drag racing industry of Motorsports. ASE has housed many racing operations since 2002 including a professionally raced IHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car. In 2007, operations were expanded to include our IRONMAN Chassis division, which specializes in manufacturing heli-arc welded items that we market to the Motorsports industry. We also specialize in chassis production and customized, turn-key door-cars and dragster builds. Since the middle of 2007, the design and production of our original, universal one-piece dragster body has also been under development. Available in both carbon fiber and fiberglass, this product is one of only a few that exists on the market and is a result of extensive research and technological innovation.

We pride ourselves in offering not only unique products and services, but creating a complete experience for the customer in being able to offer more under one roof than any other performance shop in the industry. No two chassis are the same from one shop to the next shop. The difference between ASE / IRONMAN Chassis and other manufacturing and chassis race shops comes in our ideas and how we think race cars should be built. This includes notching bars to fit perfectly, having perfect welds, putting thought and engineering into the details and free movement of the chassis, and making cars turn-key as well as a work of art. It’s about both function and fashion, and making a lasting impression. We care about our customers and their individual goals and dreams. Chassis are chassis, but we want to make sure our customers are as safe as possible and can proudly display their car with show quality on the race track.

The main uniqueness of ASE & IRONMAN Chassis will always lie in its variety of services all available in one place, as well as our dedication to technological innovation including specialized products and services that we offer in the areas of fuel systems, aerospace bodies and components and so on. When racers bring their cars and motors to our shop, that’s where they stay until the project is complete. With the new capabilities of chassis production, ASE & IRONMAN Chassis is one step closer to becoming a complete, all inclusive shop that can produce a car from beginning to end. Our customers come first and they find a sense of comfort and ease with the complete services our shop has to offer, when often the process of building a car can be stressful, confusing and frustrating as you transport your dream car from shop to shop, causing a lack of cohesiveness in the build.

So we hope you chose us for your next dream car! Here at ASE & IRONMAN Chassis our customers are friends and family. We don’t just build cars, we create one of a kind experiences and memories for a lifetime. Our family has proud roots in racing that have made us what we are today, and we want to pass those experiences on to other families so that they too can be brought together by common goals and dreams that go well beyond the race track.
