Great stuff Bret!

I've read a bunch about Ron on this site and seen his threads but always felt he was way over my head...until a I saw Bryan Cope, 1971 Firebird aka. TOW, talking to Ron via telephone in between runs at the Good-Guys show at TMS this fall. He and Bryan were discussing changes and set-up on the fly. Bryan's times continued to get better and better throughout the weekend, especially after the phone conversation...on a Saturday afternoon! I was thoroughly impressed. Seems like a class act and great resource to have supporting your business.

Jay - Ron's quite the chef, he can whip up a mean batch of personalized Secret Sauce if you provide the proper ingredients.

Agreed. I am still learning how to convey information appropriately, and he can quickly identify when I'm wrong. He just did it yesterday with a question I asked!

Wish I could be at SEMA to actually meet Ron in person. But then I'd probably monopolize his time, so perhaps it's just as well that I don't.

I also learned Ron is whipping up some of that secret sauce for a Texas competitor heading to the GG's Shootout in Scottsdale.

I had the opportunity to spend a few minutes talking with Ron at GG Pleasanton. Genuine knowledge and genuinely nice dude. I was very impressed. I really enjoyed talking with him.

Ron's ok I guess, if you're into that kinda stuff...

Wow ... Mike ... could you imagine me in spandex shorts. On second thought ... don't imagine that. That's not a sight anyone want's to see.

Take care & see you at the track!
