might be time for a coalition and attend this tech / seminar and have everyone speak up!?!

and lastly....i still cant beileve one would be arrogant enough to put down legends like ken crocie & pete mcCARTHY. supergasdil taught me a lot back in the day,and i know he'd say those two were all we had back then as there weren't a lot of knowledgeable pontiac racers 20 years ago. at least not in southern california. maybe times have changed....technology,computers,trial & error,more aftermarket parts and machinery,etc.etc....but you never put down or forget the original guys who started all of this. they are legends in my book!

Back in the early 90s there was a shop in Fenton, Mo, off highway 30 called "Engine Masters"
We had fixed alot of their bad work. They were supposed to be a new "high tech" shop with state of the art equipment. A few times the Jefferson County police were called out there because of very angry customers.
One day the shop up & closed. We got to talking with one of the Jefferson County cops one day, who we were building a engine for. He informed us that early one morning some guys with masks ambushed the 2 owners & beat them over the head with lead pipes. One went into a comma and almost died. Several people had lined up to sue these guys. In the end they had to skip town.
If you continue screwing people , eventually youll screw the wrong guy.
