dave thanks for the view of the gould brothers but it all came down to listening to certian poeple and following what they had to say and a whole lot of hard work we at times worked 7 days a week from 3 pm till the am every night just to compete because we didnt have money but lots of time. thats how we competed againsted that big pocket. some people bought there why to the track while we use old fashion muscle
