   It seems like GTR 1/4 mile records bounce back and forth between English Racing and AMS Performance.  One shop holds it for a month or so and then just like that, the other shop trumps them.  EKanooRacing is the current world record holder with a jaw dropping 7.366 at 206mph, with a 1.29 60ft.  That's some serious effort right there, these guys are really moving.  Props!!

    We are so excited to see where this goes.  We're sure ER and AMS are busy cooking up something hot in their labs, preparing for the 2016 racing season just around the corner.  This is bound to be one hell of a season.  We're betting someone will dip into the 6's this year.  Check out the video below (be sure to turn your speakers up to 11!!), and follow us on Facebook www.facebook.com/toolanddyedesigns

    We've been talking to a super cool cat by the name of Jade.  He's the owner of Seattle BMX shop.  He has offered us an opportunity to sell our shirts on consignment in the shop.  Seattle is severely lacking in proper BMX shops, so Seattle BMX shop is a clear standout.  Really looking forward to that. 

     Another thing we've been working on is website design.  I've never really been truly happy with the way our site looks or performs.  Been hard at work researching new themes and styles and have some great ideas and inspiration.  Before we can really move forward on that front, we need some great pictures.  We have a couple balls in motion for that, but the one we're most jazzed about is a photoshoot at the headquarters of FSX Racing https://www.facebook.com/FSXRacing Frank is a great guy that I met in the Evo world.  We had very similar motor/turbo builds in our cars before the demise of mine.  He is now in the middle of pulling his motor for rebuild after something let loose at an open drift event.  Looking forward to lending a hand with the installation and getting my hands dirty.  I really miss that. Love the smell of grease, oil...car fluids in general...oh and smells at the track, like hot brakes/clutches, race gas, E85 and hot tires.  The tink tink tink of a hot exhaust cooling down.  Hope to get back on the track sooner than later.

     With that we'll close out this post.  Want to thank all that supported us during the Black Friday weekend sales and say hello to our newest customers.  More to come soon!
