A welding and fabricating background  helped initiate my first  2 cars. Wow, Look how far we've come . . . . . .

    One year after that, the owner of the second car suggested I start selling parts when racing. I must give him credit for the idea.  As the years progressed, we came together with another car owner, Steve Borger who had the idea of going to a rear "W" link and a "Z" link suspension.   It was at this point the the current day STAR CAR chassis started to evolve.

    In 2000 My son Coty, decided not to race anymore. His decision was devastating, but at the same time a blessing in disguise. It allowed us to focus more on customer cars, the needs of their owners, both at the shop and the tracks. As the business evolved and expanded, we sort of came into a "Team" type atmosphere, where we worked off each others strong suits, sharing setups etc.

    In 2003 a group of STAR CAR owners decided to venture out into the QMA Dirt race tracks where almost instant success was had by all. Towards the end of the year a few decided to venture into the asphalt tracks.  What a Major Step.

   By the end of 2004 our 1st asphalt win came at Wall Stadium in New Jersey. Steve Hughes accomplished the feat with another STAR CAR driver, David Polenz finishing second in the same race! Wow, what an accomplishment .  Thanks Guys.

   I must also extend major kudos in the direction of Donn Edgar, as his asphalt knowledge and background has helped us make major strides in our asphalt track program.

    Many thanks to all the owners and drivers who already believe in our agenda, and we welcome all newcomers to join us in 2005.
