Congrats George,
And the best part of the award going to Gessford Machine Shop is that these guys are all really "good guys" especially George. Always willing to help fellow racers and other machinists. I know first hand that George varified some critical FE info with my machinist to help keep me on the track and moving.
Keep up the great work George!

You know, Jorge, it's damn nice that they recognize you for all of the hard work and determined effort you put into your motors. You and the Lil Basturds should be proud...and we're proud of you.
But the REAL award is knowing that all of your friends...including your fellow Gasholes...think the world of you just because you're a damn good guy that's there whenever anybody needs a helping hand. For that, you have no peers.
