I would like to chime in and say that there is a scary amount of people who take this stuff way to seriously. What does it matter if Ryan Maifield machines his own shock tower or not? If that makes the hobby less enjoyable for any of you, you really should find another hobby and maybe even seek therapy. 99.99999999% of us will never be at that level of racing even if God himself hand made us a kit. Go have fun racing with your buddies and don't lose sleep over which custom made tire inserts Jerad Tebo is running.
