This blog stuff is pretty cool. I’m getting a lot of feedback from the readers and a couple critiques from a few guys who probably still read Playboy in the closest. This last weekend I headed out to Commerce, GA for the NHRA Southern Nationals with a pile of Speedtech stuff to deliver before I put the Bubba Smoothe cape on and get after my Drag Illustrated responsibilities. It’s pretty funny to see guys like Bob Newberry of Top Alcohol Funny Car fame and Phil Shuler, crew chief for the Rockstar Nitro Funny Car, like nitrous too. Both of them called and ordered parts this week from Speedtech. Mr. Newberry is putting together a little footbrake street truck and Shuler is doing a balls-out 3-system manifold for a big tire Mustang. Good to know we have an appeal to the blown guys when they aren’t getting paid to race. Seems like we’ve sparked some interest in our wire harness systems also – the ones we distribute for Spaghetti menders in some of the Pro Stock ranks. I’m taking a unit over to go through with one of the crew chiefs this weekend. It should be real nice to clean up the vast number of wires that get plumbed on these 500ci Pro Stock cars. Speaking of 500-inch, it’s going to be great to see last year’s cover boy Dave Connolly get his ass back to work in a race car. He is way too good not to be bangin’ gears through a Liberty 5-speed.
Look out Athens on Saturday night cause Bubba and my pal Old Dirty Bastard JC will be out on the prowl – probably have a few of those closest Playboy readers with us.
Also want to wish good luck to all the Dart Dash contestants that use Speedtech. Jeff Pitman, Bert Prejan, Keith Raferty, and Anthony Munao. Kick some butt – Speedtech style.
