I wish I had enough money to pay for Tom to come out and tune my car. Private owner or tune shop, Tom? I haven't heard of any shops down in that area.

Hey Luis welcome to the boards. By your profile you've got a firm grasp on what you want your focus to do for you....[thumb]
You going to Mid-Ohio next month?

APG performance? didnt they close down like 4 years ago?

also i meet up with tom he is really cool and he is pretty funny. we went to some bar cause i got up at like 2-3 in the afternoon. so i was hungry and i wanted breakfeast. well tom and his wife ate already. so...he just came along with iwona and me. basically we just shared stories and what not. tom has a lot of battle wounds! LOL also he likes nascar A LOT! lol
he is a nice guy and if he lived closer id hang out with him more. unfortuantly he lives far far away! also he doesnt drink [:(] but we still managed to have a good time.

the place we went to had TERRIBLE SERVICE! and they played 50 cent and eminem thats all! totally lame! i dont mind hip hop but they should definatly rotate artists a bit more than 50...em.....50.....em....

Tom give us a yell out the window when you blow through Indy!

I realize you have time constraints, but I bet if you were to announce that you were going to a location from now on, there would be lots of folks willing to pay for your services there and along the route.

Also, I was wondering if you are just going to race at the Mid Ohio event or actually set up a company display to showcase your products.

He is taking a car to Mid-ohio to drive.

Sure he ain't taking it to Mid Ohio to eat?

I would still like to see some performance products on display from the various companies that are going to be there. In fact, I suspect everyone would.

Call me crazy...

...the car that he's drivin ain't on display...??

The car that he is driving is, in fact, not on display in the usual sense. Watching from afar as cars zip by your limited field of view is not the up close and personal look-at-all-them-shiney-goodies that I would like to see.

Sure it's fun to go to the races, but I actually am into modding my car for performance more than watching a race, silly me. I don't see what the big deal is with displaying some of your wares at an event such as this. You see, these are not race teams, they are after market performance companies competing for some bragging rights.

All well and good, but can't they at least bring along some damn T-shirts and a product brochure too??

I'm sure there will be plenty to see in the pit area [thumb]
