WOW

That could pretty much sum up the whole experience.

We got to take a peek at some really cool stuff being tried and produced.

Just a sample would be the Comp F1 belt tensioner, or the new adjustable F1 clutch( still 4 shoe with weights and spring preloads adjustable). Maybe even a new body in the next year.

The R&D room was really cool, you could see cars that have been run, and hand built prototype fixes that are worked until the problem is solved and then production parts are constructed.

All in all we were very impressed the factory was very beautiful, had large windows to allow large amounts of daylight in to work by, excellent product organization and work flow.

The tooling department was well thought out and pumping out the new tools that will soon produce our long sought out new products.

And of course there was our favorite part ( besides the showroom full of painted built cars) The Test track. Were R&D vehicles are run until they break and factory drivers test and tune there rides.
