To Rich and all the people behind the scenes running the NA Racing series,

 I've been racing for aprox. 30 years, T&T and brackets. Fall of last year I decided to pass the torch to my son Cory. We decided that he would build an engine I would supply the body and Cory would go racing on the track instead of the street.

Henry Jackson built us a new bullet with the help of RAM Cylinder Heads. We upgraded the car with the necessary safety equipment, and Cory T&T at Raceway park and Atco. Once he Cory had 20 or 30 runs under his belt, we decided to give the RAM Series a shot (with the encouragement of Henry Jackson)

I was a little apprehensive for Cory as he hadn't run in competition before, but the staff at Maplegrove, fellow racers, as well as everyone associated with the race were so professional and understanding.

As usual the car ran like a swiss watch (Thanks Henry and Rich) And we learned a few things our first day out. I wish we could have represented the Mopar star a little better, but as time goes on and Cory gets more experience, I'm sure we'll represent better! We cant make too many Saturday races due to business constraints, but we'll make as many as we can god willing.

I'm sure coordinating a race series AND running a business is a formidable task! I want to thank you and everyone thats involved with this series and let you know that we appreciate your efforts and look forward to competing against some of the best drag-racers in the country

Randy and Cory welcome to the Ram Racing series! Great group of racers! Well except the D/R guys, they tend to get uptight sometimes Afro

Randy and Cory, we really enjoyed having you guys attend our MG event and wish you were able to follow the entire tour but we understand how things go. First off....Are you aware that we allow race teams, in other words you can have someone else drive your car at races you cant attend and still earn points for your team? Just a thought.

But secondly we want to thank you for posting such kind words about the organization, you guys are nice people and you will fit in perfectly here, our racers are some of the best in the country at what they do and are always there to lend a hand when needed, I am very forunate to have such a great crowd of racers to help us put on a show, you guys will be a welcomed addition to the family.

The cuda you guys have is no slouch, that thing really runs well, its nice to add another great looking, powerful piece of detroit muscle here in our group. You guys made an impressive debut at MG with it and we look forward to seeing you back soon.

Rich & N/A staff : )

Congrats Cory on the 10 teen pass, ya know....with a little aggressive attention that would be a cool Drag Radial car for 2011. I am sure Henry can move you close to the top.
