Default Tom Cowle RIP
It was reported by Toms wife that yesterday he lost his almost decade battle with ALS. For those who didn't know Tom he is the LS1 Tech Lt1 Bolt On Record holder. He wrote many threads about how he went about establishing the record. He was a real nice and sharing guy. RIP Tom and Godspeed.
