Is Bobby the idiot with the dark hair that was going bald that always worked the counter at elite image? If so, I won't bother visiting that place even if they are the closest dyno in town.

Hey Nic, i dont think either of us will have to worry about Dyno pulls with the hook ups we should get from a certain member...*cough*cough*...lol

Plus, having a dyno is one thing...knowing how to work it to your advatage and tune with it is another. Im not going to let someone that use to apply decals and wings "tune" my car. I might be speaking out being that i dont know this guy....but thats my opinion.

Default Clarification

Ok, to clear up alot of the shit that some people are posting on here.

1) Naw I'm not sponsored by East Coast
2) Bobby is not the "idiot" with the dark hair that was going bald, that was Scott. You probably never saw Bobby cuz he was busting his ass behind the scenes to get shit done while some of the other employees sat on their asses. He runs a very good shop. Elite got a lot of bad rap cuz of some of the "less than good" employees that he had. But try to find a decent person around here that doesnt already work at a dealership and you'll probably understand
3) If he brings a dyno into the shop, he will not run it without any expertise in the field. He will hire someone and have them trained, or, the main owner of the business owns prostock drag racing team, and has a lot of expertise with engines and dynos, so if nothing else he would be the one to work the dyno, not someone who has only applied "decals and Wings"

I'm not trying to sound bitchy or bite anyone's heads off, but I think he's being given some bad rap due to the unsuccessfulness of his old shop, even tho that shop's pitfalls were nothing even he could control. He runs a good business- always has, always will.

Oh yeah, and NoReverse95Teg- thanks for the compliment

Dynos aren't that hard to run...

If he does have one, we should have a dyno day. I'll need to fine tune my Microtech...

Yeah Bobby is the one runnin this place, but he was def not the one that got the bad wrap for Elite when it was around, which has since been closed down. He's got someone financially backin him this time, so he's got all the right stuff to do work on cars right.
