Bruce just transitioned to a lot of his own molds which I know have caused delays at times.

I can't speak for Bruce financially (I don't think that's a problem like it was for me) but I have spoke to him a little about cutting carbon and the kits. The way he does things does take much longer than we eventually learned to... We had to adapt with trying to keep up with the demands we were facing. However, that takes additional time/$ from keeping up with normal production.

Bruce has mentioned seeing a substantial increase in interest and sales since Denver and I'm sure now again. I've tried to help with passing along some info I learned to hopefully speed things up. I'm recovered from the race now and actually working on getting my CNC back functional (to sell it). Maybe I'll see if I can help him with some things to catch up so we can get everyone the cars/parts they want in a timely manner.
Now you can buy the same machine that made the CEFX car. Glad to see the extra efforts at SM. Great car.
