  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Hi Folks... we are back again for our 19th year, wow, times flies.

    This is the annual thread to recognize and thank the contributors that make the board possible. Last year was a tough year for a lot of us, and we were off a little in our fundraising, but I was surprised that it was not that much off.. I expected worst.

    Speaks to the great character among our members here.

    Thanks in advance for supporting this community.

    Ya, your a funny guy... If I had 69 Billion, we would be awash in Buick speed and resto parts..

    And I would not be in the shop till 10pm or later every night, and certainly not up at 5am every morning...

    :eek:

    I would be on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean , directing my minions by phone on building buick resto and speed parts, and only returning to the states to my fabulous 50,000 square foot facility to either run my dyno to come up with a new combo, or to haul my mulit car trailer to the track to drag race for the weekend.

    now back to reality...
