Default Joe Simpson AKA Turbo-Charged is the man....

After not being able to find ANYONE to TIG my cage he PM's me and offers to do it. I dropped the car off to him yesterday and got it back today, exactly when he said it would be done. He worked on it until 3 AM this morning and finished the job after noon. I didn't expect him (nor anyone else) to work so hard staying up til the wee hours of the morning working on someone else's car. But he did it cuz he's a hard-working guy which is a very honorable quality and something I greatly respect. The sport needs more guys like him. The Tempest Racing proving grounds are great too...

Thanks again Joe

lol no. but even though the work was harder than he thought it was going to be, he stuck to his original quote and only charged me that. it was a very fair quote.

I can tell u one night he offered me to take my race car to his shop because that whole day at the track i was blowing charge pipes off,(he made me very aware that he was up for the last 48 hours),and he worked till like 3 am in the morn.at this point he was starting to hallucinate but he managed to get my car fixed and for a realy killer price

driving to a race blowing charge pipes all day=400 bucks
being pissed off because i couldnt get down the track =200 bucks
joe simpson and temppest racing making everything right=PRICELESS

Joe just did all my intercooler piping and helped ALOT getting my car done, we only need to dyno it tomorrow and it will be ready for MIR NOPI this weekend!

Joe for President again!!!!!!!!!!

Joe knows what sleep is but not like I know how to sleep, took 3 muscle relxers today in his shop, they were in a Tylenol bottle , salling said to take 2 so I took 3. I kept falling asleep all day and wondering why I was soooo beat. I fell asleep like 4 times from 9:30 to 4:30, I told Joe and Fred Ellis I took those Tylenol and asked if it was Tylenol PM and they laughed and said you just took 3 Muscle relaxers and said I was lucky to be alive . lol YAAAAAWN! I am TIRED STILL!!!
