Default Picking the right shop for the application.

There are lots of good shops around & we all do most everything, but some have a specific specialty that helps when looking for that extra edge of knowledge & experiance. Take road racing, we sell & install suspension upgrades & such, but none of us are road course drivers & we would not know all the answers when it comes to techniques on driving & the best combos for lap time reductions. But we are all drag racers & have been for years. Not just weekend Test & Tune participants, but hard-core competetive racers in both IHRA & NHRA classes & big$ bracket circuits.

Was doing a Google search on drag racing & found this:

We bring that expertise to you, the customer.:thumbsup:

Good post Tracy, I'm certain that most shops do not have the race experience (IHRA, NHRA) that you bring to the table. In addition, your formal education at the Rehrer Morrison School of Engine Building is a BIG PLUS...Here's To Ya Bro
