Participants at our 10th anniversary celebration were having a great time running their cars. The mid-70 degree weather and well-prepped Texas Motorplex facility lent to some quick times. Many participants reported their "quickest times ever" at our event, and some even garnered trophies and prizes for their efforts. We gave trophies for the...

Although Latemodel Restoration Supply was celebrating it's 10th anniversary, we could not have done it over these past ten years if is was not with the support of our vendors. Many vendors complimented our event by attending or sending product and materials for our raffle and goody bags. First off, I want to thank Ford for making the Mustang and...

In the planning stages of our 10th Anniversary our Sales Manager Mike Linley suggested that since our employees were not really getting a chance to run their cars down the track, maybe we could organize a "Pass-Time" style game show for a few lucky people from the car show. We thought about it, and all decided it was a great idea. If you have...

Adam Fetsch is a Chevy guy. Tried and true. He is local guy that picked up one of our raffle tickets as he was in our showroom ordering some Jet Hot coated Kooks longtubes for his black 2010 Camaro SS. He knows a few of the people that work here and has raced against them at the local track and bench raced on the forums. Just an average gear head that...

Well, first of all I want to thank Jody Gunter and his crew from Gunter Specialties for bringing the mobile Dyno up for people to see what kind of power their cars or trucks made. The first vehicle on the dyno was a red Shelby convertible that got everything kicked off nicely. A few other cars made some pulls and then things got crazy. Not really sure...

Some like to start small and work their way up, Some like to be waiting for their friends to upgrade their Mustang GTs with parts, only to take...

I felt like it was time to go ahead and make some pulls with it, since the car had racked up some street miles and all the bugs had been worked out. I wanted to report what the numbers were, and I was curious to see if any power was to be had with custom tuning. So far, the Ford...
