Seems you got a smart head on your sholders there, Ron and a very supportive wife.
America, with all its problems and concerns is still one of the best countrys for a guy to take the plunge and chart his own course in life...
The problem with selling fast car parts is the market is so small compared to other markets. These are not things the average person wants or needs.
Good luck with this Ron, i am sure you will do well.
Were is Florence Kentucky anyway, is it off I-75, ?

yes it is ed I'm 5 minutes from I-75 it is 20 miles south of Cincinnati Ohio I'm just across the Ohio River in Northern KY .
Yes the high Performance business is very Competitive i always wanted to be bigger but was not to sure about doing the web page because it is a huge step and there was a lot of planning in doing so we have been meeting with suppliers to make sure that we could get the parts delivered without a problem getting shipping set up thru post office ,ups and fed ex
it is a job alone getting all this set in place before we launched the site .
and i wanted some information from the public on the web page also .

i told her this web site would be her baby she has to keep it up and list everything . you know what she said why me .

Ron/Wesley;
Just had to chime in on the wife thing, had to go thru a couple to find the right one. (That's more expensive than racing)
Current wife is 100% supportive. Helps out in the shop and at the track. She enjoys it as much as I do. We enjoy sharing it together. It really is a special thing (to me anyway) to have a partner that's your best friend and #1 crew chief!
