I'm starting to get the idea that Greg likes the work Ron did.

He definitely filled a gaping hole in this hobby. I remember tuning on my car and throwing parts at it. I eventually achieved pretty good balance in the chassis and braking but not before multiple attempts. Ron's advice would've saved me a small fortune with better results.

I agree with you Greg, pay a professional to do his job. A real professional with a proven track record.

That sums it up right there. WE are not pro racers. We're weekend warriors. Nothing wrong with that at all.. it's just the fact. What Sutton does is gets 30 years of experience jammed into a weekend -- or a few emails -- or perhaps a mechanical visit. AND BAM! You've got yourself a bonafide handler that will save you a year, or two, or longer even - of wasted events. The only thing you're going to regret is having waited so long to engage.

My NASCAR (It's capitalized) crew chief isn't there to outrun Gaetano... He's there so I can outrun Blue group guys!


Actually - I just don't want Charley to pass me so GD easy! LOL

I just want to publicly apologize to everyone for talking Greg into buying a track car and getting him into the school. I thought great, now we will have a big toterhome etc. I forgot Greg was going to be there as well.

Maybe you could start to run with NCRC or Hooked on Driving. LOL


I'd switch but NorCal Shelby Club wrote me a letter to tell me how much fun all the flag workers are having when I'm on track.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Best weekend EVER of tracking the car.... While you wasted your time in Lost Wages watching the worst fight of the century... We sat around the TV (okay it's a little small but it worked!).... watching the "non fight" ... BBQ'n... drinking...and making fun of you for not being there (at the track). LOL



From your "friends".....
