You dislike your homies? The guy who builds the basic chassis of many 'COT"s (Steve Leavitt)Is from Kezar Falls. I buy parts from his Dad. Jeff Gordon's crewchief is Steve Letarte - I think his Dad is still building cars around Cornish, Me.
And didja know that when Mario Andretti went to the Ferrari F1 team, he had to show them basic American setup techniques?
I worked with a Swiss rally driver several years ago, engineering a new system for the American market for our parent co. He left with an armload of American style setup tools, and catalogs....
The thing is - racing in Europe is glamourous, expensive, and a millimeter deep. Here, we are everywhere!
And if the world's premeire sedan series (NASCAR Sprint Cup) is not to your liking, go see the ISMA tour at LeeUSA in NH this summer (8/14)<
