Track days are the best.

I started bracket racing 38 years ago, and while life has changed a lot since then, its still a big part of who I am.

Over the years, I’ve seen some great parts of the country with my family when our racing adventures have taken us out of town. We really enjoy meeting people that we’ve known from a distance on those trips.

Being among friends when we race at home or away makes it all the more memorable and fun.

See you at the track!

This past year was our 30th year in business.

I wanted to take a moment to thank our customers, past and present. You have many choices for parts and services for your engine power, and I appreciate being your vendor and work hard to do right by you.

I plan to keep at it for a long time...another 30 years sounds good to me!

More to come.
