1 year on - Working with Switzer Performance

[Jo_Switzer]

I've been on-board with DJ here at TS since almost the very beginning, when I was still back in Florida working for RENNtech. I'd known Tym for a few years (Tym's shop made the E/CLS/SL mufflers we'd been using at RENN, as well as a few other parts here and there) and he first approached me about working together on some small projects (his website, my moped, etc.) about this time last year ...

... so I've been doing a bit of reflecting, and "looking back" on the last year.

This time last year, Tym had been building up his business, trying to build his brand, etc. There were big things in the works, for sure, and I was happy to help. We work well together, and when things changed for me at RENNtech and I was ready to make a move from FL, Tym was kind enough to make a home for me here at Switzer Performance.

Earlier today, Tym asked me to put together a few press links from the past year, to be able to share with prospective dealers, customers, etc., so I did something I rarely do: I Googled our recent project cars.

This is a VERY SHORTENED list of what I found.

WHAT A YEAR IT HAS BEEN!!!

[Fuel&Fire]

Very Impressive!!! Congrats on your many accomplishments, and I know we all look forward to see what you guys come up with next!!!

[Neil Switzer]

This has truly been the most action packed year, from the Sledge to the latest in GTR and GT2 performance, all of the wins over on the streets of Russia and the Moscow Unlim, and the broadening of our business all across the Earth...

I am sure a lot of you guys have seen Jo post updates on here about the latest packages and information, to videos and pictures of the cars themselves; but there is a lot that most of you havn't seen. He keeps the website up to date, does the accounting, news blog, and so much other stuff I can't even remember all of it right now!

Hat's off to Jo and the rest of the team at Switzer, keep it up guys!

[Schwabe]

very nice, congrats

[Neil Switzer]

Bump for a great guy!
