"My son and I have been racing a 67 Camaro bracket car since 1989, without much luck and with lots of broken parts. I met Mike in 2000, and he built me a 540 bracket motor, single 4-barrel, no bottle. We ran 9.30's at 146. Won the 2002 NMCA Mid-Michigan bracket race-7 rounds, consistant 9.30's. In 2003 we went to the Cito 2 day race, went 6 rounds on Saturday, and 6 rounds on Sunday. Next race we went to was the 2003 Milan IHRA Motor City Nationals. Went 7 rounds and won the No-Box class--our first National event win. Everybody knows Mike builds awsome motors. But everyone doesn't know what Mike does above and beyond. We are not big shooters, we don't spend a lot of money, but Mike treats us like we are. Every season Mike takes our car to his shop, gets it running, sets the valves, times it , and gets it ready to run. How many engine builders do that. I don't have enough time or room to tell you all the help Mike has given us. But I can tell you this--been racing since 19 63--have never met a guy that treats you as good as Mike, and I would never go to another guy for anything.
