Dear Customers,

          Summer in now firmly entrenched, kids are out of school and everybody seems to be quite busy. Life is pretty good! Our service is much improved over the first part of the year. Our thanks to those of you that tolerated less than stellar service earlier in the year. We are getting better.

          I must apologize for our lack of newsletters recently. May got mailed out with statements but a hard drive crash lost a couple before they were e-mailed to our web host. Time just got away from me on the last 2 so they are combined here.

We are pleased to announce the addition of Shannon Keene to our staff. She has an interesting job history as automobile mechanic, parts store manager, and factory maintenance mechanic. She is a drag racer and will be on my crew when the Monza finally gets going again. She is primarily responsible for our racing cams and with help from Clarence and me, is learning rapidly. She is going to be a valuable asset to us.

Our daughter Victoria is filling in just about everywhere she may be needed, mostly in the shipping and inventory departments, but also doing some grinding as well. She leaves for Elon College the end of August.
