In respect for the other Shootouts held around the country, We chose not to put out any threads earlier in the year. As the last shootout style event comes to a close this week, we felt this was a good time to start our threads.

On behalf of Ktuned, Drag Cartel Industries, Javier Ortega, Roger Downes, the Ortega Global Solutions staff and all of the All Motor Racers, I would like to announce :
