Mark Doucette inherited his love for machining at a young age through his father. Chasing down his love for machine work Mark decided to attend a true machine school in high school.
After graduating, Mark moved to Florida where he soon purchased his first bike in 1976 a KZ 900. On his off time started hanging out at the local Kawasaki shop where a friend of his worked. Mark was offered a job there where he met Mike Murdoch, founder of MRE, Murdoch Racing Enterprises.
Mike often offered Mark a job at MRE which Mark always passed on until one day. In 1980, Mark dropped in at MRE and asked Mike if the job offer still stood. It did, he started at MRE originally as a counter guy working with Jay Regan. When he witnessed the shop guys undercutting gear boxes by hand with die grinders instead of using the dormant dust covered mill, Mark advised Mike of his machining skills and thus started Mark’s new career.
After ten years with MRE, Mark then started his shop R&D Motorsports. In 1998 Mark moved into his stand-alone shop, where he still is today with his 2 loyal right hand men. These guys have been with him ever since helping to producing some of highest quality transmission work available today. No games, no gimmicks, no up-sales. With over 35 years of experience and a plethora of knowledge in this field you can be ensured that your trannys are in proper trusted hands at R&D.
