Congrats Jake on securing you OUSCI invite! It amazes me on how much of a damm good driver you are.. Thanks to Roy of allowing to be part of this great build & watch Jake win his way into events!!
There are two key factors that have allowed JCG to build a more competitive car.. One is Danny Popp! he has given me an education on what it takes to build a car to endure a race on the road course.. He has been very generous with me & Jake with his knowledge on driving & car set ups.. This morning when Danny called me to compliment JCG on Jakes win.. He stated that we got a few more things for Jake learn.. But he has natural talent as a driver!
JJ Furillo from Ultimate Performance! I consider him to be the back bone of our set ups... from shocks, to sway bars & spring rates.. JJ brings parts on the plane with him to build our custom valved shocks in house, He will be the first one to say let's replace springs knowing that it will be difficult to change them out, he will jack the car up or put it on ramps make shock adjustments & change sway bar setting as required.. When I had the car @ the shop getting it ready for Thunder Hill.. I had the car on scales & was doing corner balancing.. I saw something I didn't like so I called JJ to confirm that if I made that change it would get us on the right path for balance of the car.. I called Jake & told him of the change before we made it & let him know that JJ agrees that we need to make that change for proper set-up.. I could not make the Thunder Hill event so I asked JJ to make sure that took care of the Rozelle's for me since I was not attending the events! His service to the community will soon catch on & other people will benefit as we have!
