Thanks to CARTEK!

Just a post of appreciation as I was there for some basic maintenance items yesterday in their new facility!

Roy worked his butt off to make sure my car was in & out of there FAST!
& Mike even took me on the road test!

Julio too got involved when we had a minor part issue, and I appreciate it!

If any of you haven't been to CARTEK for a while, you have to stop by & check out this new place.. !
Its right across the street from their old shop, and is HUMONGOUS!

We're talking like a Sam's Club warehouse size!

Plenty of space to park ALL the cars INSIDE!
Multiple lifts, dyno, engine area, customer lounge (AIR CONDITIONED),
large CLEAN restrooms, just an awesome facility, and of course the usual great technical know how!!!

Thanks again for the help!
Ellis

Ellis, I'd heard that your track results were very promising on Wednesday.

He sort of wrote it out wrong, it should read FTMFW.
It's a variation on the ever popular dumdumdum which stands for: For The Win.
In this case he chooses to drive the point home even further with: For The Mother F*cking Win.

Actually Bruce didn't make it up or alter it,

a lot of people (myself included) have been using that particular nomenclature for years now.

I love E-town Timing and Scoring...

Almost as good as my 258MPH 1/8 mile trap a few years back! To bad it was only 118 in the 1/4... man I must have been on the breaks HARD!

It was also windy that day, that could account for the car scrubbing off at least some of that speed as well.
