Al,as you and many others know,we only take on a limited amont of work from the general public.Most of our customers are other shops and hardcore bracket racers.We pass on a lot of work because we have a waiting list and try to have everyone running at the beginning of each race season.It's easier to tell someone we can't do their work then not deliver in a timely manner.We take care of all our loyal customers and racers before taking on new ones.Many times we see a simple engine job turn into a complicated time consumming project because the customer brings in a lot of mismatched parts or decides to change course multipule times during the project or has a limited budget and can only proceed at a slow pace.When have you ever seen us advertize or solicit any work? Heck,we don't even have a website,the people who want to work with us will find us.I have even thought about cutting back and downsizing.At my age and having retired from over 46 years in the heavy construction and having been racing and building engines for the past 50 years,I think I have deserved to finally take it easy.
I plan on spending more time with the wife and grandkids and crew chiefing for Donny on the blower car as well as R&R at the local casino.
