Cal drivers that were at the auto-x for the best time. \u00a0Jeff had just gotten back from kicking ass and winning at Pike&#8217;s Peak. \u00a0He was doing the auto-X on some weird wheels and used street tires that just happened to be laying around at the RRE shop before the event! \u00a0I am not sure if he hit his best time with my fat ass in the car but he drove in an unnatural manner that day. \u00a0X-Rays have shown that my stomach is now officially in my back on the wrong side of my spine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=540\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-540\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-540\" title=\"281638_213747958674235_157468440968854_523806_2328715_n\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/281638_213747958674235_157468440968854_523806_2328715_n1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"383\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, Jeff is the kind of guy that will take the time to email you back if you ask him questions. \u00a0He is a well respected tuner in Australia for this reason. \u00a0You can really tell when someone is in to something because they love it. \u00a0In Jeff&#8217;s case, his love for the sport is\u00a0immediately\u00a0obvious.
