Nope they are still in Dayton, I do not work for Brock's anymore, but still support Brock's Performance 100%, and always will. I moved back (after two years in OH) to AZ for the weather, but am finding it hard to find employment now, I guess all of the shops around here do not need any help?

Hey Jason,
Where in AZ are you? I live in the far west Phoenix area. You'll often find me at SpeedWorld on the weekends. Mine is the Blue 14.
There are several of us around. My best friend who teaches at MMI has one.
"Biker" is another one. You'll see him posting here.
Good chance I'll be at SpeedWorld this Saturday.
Hope to see you there,
Tom

Hey Tom,
I am in the east valley...Tempe. I have only been to Speedworld a hand full of times, once for pinks about 3 years ago and the rest was dirt bike stuff. When are the test and tunes? Are there any fast bikes? I assume it is mostly cars.
Who is your buddy at MMI, it wouldn't happen to be a Kawi instructor would it?...I went there 4 years ago. I thought I had a job there but they said my experiences at Brock's before MMI doesn't count because I was not officially a Tech?! I wish I knew that before I moved...

Yea, he's a Kawasaki instructor, Tommy Dahl. Been friends for almost 30 years.
Speedworld has test and tunes almost every weekend. Check their calender here...
http://www.speedworlddragstrip.com/
This weekend (Dec. 5 & 6), they have events both days, but they have a test and tune Sat. night.
I should be there.
Hey 01Smokes,
Sorry I won't be able to meet you at Speedworld on the 19th as I'll be in Sedona with some friends. Frankly, I'd rather be racing...
Later,
Tom

I never had Tom as a teacher, but I was a student when he broke into the 9s when he first got the bike...I wasn't at the event though. I will be there for sure on Saturday. Hope to meet some of you guys.

You guys should have come out. It was cold but they had barrel fires going, the track was good and the air was great.
I had a bunch of runs over 151 mph!
Hey Biker, my clutch finally gave up the ghost after the 17th pass. Sound familiar? Piece of crap LOL
I'm glad I bought that case of oil. I just don't remember if I have a spare oil pan gasket..
Gotta get it back together sp I can practice for the Hangover Nat's.
C'ya,
Tom

as long as you don't fuck your oil pan gasket up taking it off you don't have to use silicone at all. I've had no leaks with mine so far and i've got about 2k miles and 20 passes on it since i put the cut pan on.
Yo jason, just let me know when you'll be here and i'll make sure that you get some beer and some good Southern cooking :P.
