For some of you who knew him, you were well aware that he was as nice of an individual that you could find and was dedicated to producing a product for all of us to enjoy!

Marty Koleno passed away Saturday.

He will be missed!!!

I'm really sorry to hear that, he called me personally when they where having issues on the lifter bore angle on one lifter bore He paid for the shipping both ways on a exchange block, a very stand up man My prayers are with him and his family.

Thanks guys....
It really means a lot to our family. I know the industry will never know exactly all that he did for it but he really loved it and more importantly he loved the people of it. Keeping you in mind has definately helped us through some of the hard times. He truely got his kicks going out to the track and setting up our spread and just being a part of the action. For us it was an excellent experience to be there with him and having people stop by and some even that would be looking for us. I will never be able to remember all that he has taught me and I could never tell anyone exactly what he means to me but I can say that I couldn't be more thankful to be able to call him my father.

Thank you all
