    Well again, thanks for all the help I got from you guys. Quick update.

    We sent people to Moab for Jeep Fest (for the light truck and off-road category)

    I spoke with Shiv (Vishnu Tuning) and visited Tuner shops in San Fran and Sacramento

    We did hot rods and traditional performance locally and spoke with Lingenfelter (think twin turbo vettes)

    We presented yesterday and will know by tomorrow if we won the account.

    So it is either going to be an extremely sad or happy day tomorrow.

    I will let you know how it advances and I am sure we will work with you guys on a grassroots enthusiast level if we win the account.

    Thanks again for all the help and insight!

    Chris

    Yeah I really wanted to go to Moab, but I am the resident gear-head so they sent me to Cali to meet with Tuners, Shiv at Vishnu was a great guy to talk to...it was just weird since it was always a guy that I had admired--little known fact, he used to write for Sport Compact Car a few years ago.

    The people that went to Moab rented a Suburban and did a bit of "rock climbing" and "off roading."

    Man those people LOVE BFG tires, at least 4/5 Jeep guys had BFG's with Krawlers being one of the most popular.

    Tuners are going to be hard to reach because they seem to prefer the Asian brands.


    I want to go with you to Gilbert one day--I have never been off-roading, but I can't this weekend. Sorry.
