Doing my daily rounds today, I happened to stop over at www.greasyblocks.com and noticed an entry about Joe Simpson and the folks at Tempest Racing. Sounds like they are doing big things in MD these days.

Here's the entry

http://www.greasyblocks.com/2011/07/...ing-is-moving/

 

Yep, they moved to a bigger building with more lifts. I was over there talking to Joe last week.

 

Spoke with Joe a couple weeks ago about the move and we at DP are very happy for him!!!

Good luck Joe! See you in MIR in a few weeks!

 

Everyone knows he needed more space.

Congrats and good luck with the new shop. Maybe it's time to hire a couple good guys?

 

Nice to see good things happening to good people. Congrat's on the big move.

I guess he won't be driving the car to the track anymore...

 

oh come on now.. you arent going anywhere.. you are overpaid as it is

 

He may be overpaid but, I also hear he glows in the dark

 

i have the same glow

 

Yes, now I remember your in the same field...

 

Yep it's true he's moving to a new and bigger place. I'm very happy for Joe and NEW Tempest Racing. Congrats bro :-) best wishes with the new place, definitely one of the best shops in MD.

 

good luck with the new shop! joe.

 

Hopefully I get a chance to swing by when I'm up that way next month

 

I know that. I don't think I could take working on cars all day.

What I ment was that Joe needs a few good guys instead of some sketchy ones he's had in the past. I think we all remember Brett. lol

 

I know what you mean..

oh yeah, Brett.. what ever happened to that fellah... lol.... VaporBoy, right?


BTW, congrats Joe!

 

thanks everybody.... yea bret was here a couple months and didnt work out, that was SIX years ago so why anybody would bring that up is crazy. have not talked to him since the day we let him go.

the new shop is great, we are up and running enough to begin working on cars today! waiting on a cable that should be here today and then the dyno will be fully functional. heat and AC in the building, enough room to just drive a truck and trailer inside if we need to. multiple lifts, alignment machine, tire mounting and balancing machine, security system with camera's inside and out. show room, inventory room, parts storage rooms, personal offices... couldnt be happier.

our current staff consists of people i have personally known for years and years, guys that have been in the automotive game for years and years, or both. we currenty have Jeff C. (not the same jeff that was here in the past) John, Kayvon, Jody, and myself. for the last couple of years john has been helping me with work in the shop but i have been doing the rest myself. the larger staff we have now should help us expand and grow and do some of the things we have been wanting to do for a long time but have not had the manpower to do so.

i cant wait to get 100% up and going!! getting closer every day.

 

for a payroll

Good luck Joe! Can't wait for pics!

 

Just to let you know Joe, when I'm on other forums and people ask for help that live in your area, I send them your web site.

I hope others on here do the same thing.

Keep growing.

 

I brought his name up because i used to chat with him every now and again.. then he fell off the face of the planet... Its HondaTech Joe, you know the drill

 

Congrats on the move.. And Good luck with the new shop..

 

I heard it was because Joe needed to be closer to the lap dancing bars

 

awesome cant wait to come check out the new place Joe!!!

 

So no more watching the Amish walk by? Haha.
Congrats

 

Horse and buggy FTW!

Last time I was at Tempest I saw these for the first time. **** had LED headlights and taillights. haha

 

yea im not going to miss the amish thats for sure! these new early hours are going to take some getting used to, but should make us more productive. having a show room again and room for inventory is going to be one of the best parts.

hopefully here soon we will have a "grand opening". i will be sure to make a post with the details. thanks everybody for the support, we appreciate it

 

Congrats, Brother.
