Guys, I am closing the business. I appreciate having been able to do work for and be part of the RD street and race crowd for decades. Met more friends through the business than I could ever count and am eternally grateful for that. I just had a couple heart surgeries and have been told to take it easy for the next couple months making this a good jumping off point. As some of you know that have been to the shop, I have a couple projects that have been ignored and neglected so now I'll dedicate a bit of time to them as I can.

Thank all of you very much,
John Ritter

Get well John and enjoy your personal projects, maybe once in a while I can pick your brain on some advice.

John,
Be well and thank you for the nice chats and awesome work you did for me. I must be one of your last (if not the last) customers. John had my parts while he was dealing with his medical problems - and still somehow took care of me. My crank looks awesome BTW. Enjoy your retirement, working on your own projects at your own pace.
Thanks again, John B
