Ok, I will try to see if anyone is going up there Sat, and hook up with you. Wife has a baby shower to go to and I get to watch the little one. I will hook up with you one way or another though. Thanks

The UPS truck was right behind me – I got delivered.

Not a problem Time. I'll be there just have to make sure I didn't forget to bring it.

You may have been delivered but I was packaged and mailed by roof top to the nearest corner. Is that what they call a stop and go? LOL

Michael,

Things are good and I'm having fun at the race track. No Vegas this year, as I'm running low on vacation, but next year for sure. I'm planning to attend the Halloween classic, and Snowbirds. We leave the asphalt on Aug 20th and start carpet on the 21st.

What's new with you? How are things?

I see Komkit is onboard and let me tell you that he is thrilled, however, I wish he was running his old stuff and the older slower car. He is getting faster and faster every week. LOL

What race is next on your list to attend?

See you around for sure,
Mark

I understand the vacation thing... although with doing this and working just part time jobs I can take off when I need to, but at the same time if I'm not at the shop then I'm not making money LOL so its kind of like taking off without pay

Cool I'll probably see you at the halloween classic and birds for sure. BTW do you know what the date is for the halloween classic race?

Let's see... my racing schedule.

Beat the Heat race in memphis this weekend
Vegas
Halloween Classic
Region 3 carpet race
Cleveland
Novak Race
Snowbirds

Just a FEW

I'm glad to have Komkit on the team. He gives great feedback and performs well on the track.

OK guys I've been slammed with orders and making sure they get out.

I have not forgotten the guys who sent resumes for sponsorship.

I didn't want you thinking since you didn't get an email that you aren't on the team.

Sorry for the delay, but I have to take care of my customers.

I'll let you guys know when I've selected the guys for the team.

Thanks

Michael,

Got all of the stuffs today, thanks. I’ve been busy for the past 2 days. I had to trade-in the minivan. So, kind of busy shopping for the new car.

Couldn’t touch them new minivans, looked a few but they were in mid 30k to 40k….ouch

So I cam home with Toyota Matrix XRS a little sucker, it is enough room for all my toys

I understand I pack more in my Trans Am than you could ever imagine LOL Creative packing is key

Hey man yeah we'd really like to get some practice up there our carpet won't start till like mid October which is WAY too late for me. We will be practicing a little, but that's it here till october. Let us know when we can make the trip to race with you guys?

Hopefully we can get your track to have a little more grip. Are you guys going to get some CRC carpet? that stuff even has decent grip with very few people on it.

Either that or get a sprayer and spray some paragon on the carpet LOL

Let us know man,

BTW got your email...

Alright guys, I'm sorry it took so long, but I finally was able to sort through all the sponsorship resumes.

I sent an email to those that I am offering sponsorships too.

To those of you that didn't receive an email, I appreciate your time and effort and best of luck to you this upcoming year.

I'm preparing all the pricing info for the team guys now and should be able to get that to you guys by next week. If you need something sooner feel free to email me and we'll work something out.

Thanks,

Michael Skeen

Michael,

Have you try Atlas with F-brush on the track yet? I'm interested to find out.

IB3800 still run strong, it kept getting better and better.

Komkit,

I actually just got in some more F-brushes.
I haven't track tested them yet, but on the dyno they look good.
A few more watts of power over 4499's and more torque.

The latest batch of F-brushes seems very good.

BTW I still like purple/red springs with the Atlas for the f-brushes as well.

I'll keep you posted on how they run if I get a chance to race this weekend.

Thanks,

Michael Skeen
