Tim Jones

"Hi Eric,
The car works GREAT!!!! (until I plowed the infield). I went way deep and got on the gas a little early to get a run on a Corvette that insisted on drag racing me in the passing zones even though I caught him after closing a quarter mile gap he had on me. I LOVE my GR-40 Suspension!

I knew the end result would be worth the bucks after my "Test Ride" with Bruce. It totally changed the car. I can now terrorize the Corvettes and 911's. My recommendation: SPEND THE MONEY!!!!

Update: Just returned from the Nevada Open Road Race. I wanted to update you on the car. Can you say "WOW". Last Sept. the car was all over the road, VERY loose. After the trip to your shop for the GR-40 Setup the car drove like it was on rails. Thank you for your awesome setup! It was so stable I felt I could driveit one handed over 150 mph. Thanks again!

Speed has always been a part of my life. Started with a 1927 Ford Highboy with a 289/C-4 Auto trans. at sixteen. Sold/traded that car for a 1965 2+2 Mustang, did a ground up restoration sold the Mustang for a houseful of furniture/cash. Put speed on hold for a couple of years then I started riding Sport Street Bikes. I mostly rode 1000cc bikes for the speed. My wife and I toured most of the Western States and a trip to Canada before I scared her going 145MPH two up across the Dumbarton Bridge and she almost fell off. Since she would not ride anymore with me I then bought my fastest bike a Honda CBR 1100 Blackbird. It was WAY fast. Saw 185MPH quite often and my friends and I were regulars up at Alice's on the Sunday Ride and we made two trips a year (sound familiar?) to the Desert to haul ass in the wide open. After she heard the (TRUE) story of me racing my buddies over the whoop-de-do's outside of Mono Lake and catching big air (about 8-10 feet) at 120MPH the pressure was on to find something safer for me to do. Since I always wanted to race cars and having owned a 65 Mustang another Mustang was the natural choice. I have run with N.A.S.A., Green Flag and my favorite is the Silver State Classic. My goal is to go 200MPH and still pass smog. Bruce Griggs is a wealth of knowledge and I am sure I will achieve my goal with his help.
