    I went out today with my sales guy to visit a local farm to look at their hydraulic fittings so we can take over the business from a competitor. This is a company I have done business with since the late 80's and I know their main guys well. Before we headed out I received a call from the former shop foreman who now works direct fot the owner in his race shop and when I told him where we were headed he insisted I stop by his shop and see him. It was mind boggling!

    He has a few engines floating around...

    These are the "R&D" parts, never made it to the race engines. I offered to help make some space and he was fine with it, just needed to give him a blank check!

    And then there is the race car, he runs Pro-Stock but next year will transition back to the mountain motor class.

    This is from the platform the two non-VIN Mustangs will sit on display. The truck and trailer on the right are his old setup and are for sale, I didn't even ask, didn't want to know.
