Default James Yale is Awesome

I am not going to go into what happened as a solution is in progress, but I had an issue today and after talking to james Yale our Tx BDR dealer he offered to fix the problem for me for free as he feels it's a BDR fault from the early production. So He stepped up to the plate and I think it shows how true his spirit and devotion is to us BDR owners. So anyone who is thinking about a BDR James yale IS the person to contact.

Gotta agree with you. I met James for the first time a week ago, spent three days following him around Gateway International Raceway, and had some great converstions in the interim. He is a straight shooter with some really good technical insight. The world would be a better place with more folks like him.
Cheers,
Richard

I never knew James had groupies. Geez, if I knew he was this famous, I would have asked for his autograph at the RNG. Now with all the BDR's he's going to build, he'll need to add a "personal agent" and "publicists" salary to his business plan.

In all seriousness, James will be building my BDR in the future. He spent time with me at the RNG going through every option in detail as we spec'd it out. We all know customer service is key...and he is awesome when it comes to that

Wow, you guys are making me "blush." I just saw my name on the post and thought I'd see what was going on. That's some mighty nice words you guys said. Are you sure there isn't another James Yale somewhere??? LOL...

Patrick, glad we could get something worked out on your car. Hopefully you'll get it back this week for your special event.

Richard, I think it was me following you around Gateway... I kept trying to catch up, thanks for the nice words. Hope to see you again soon.

Chuck, I'll be ready when you are. Just let me know if you have any more questions.

Scott, what can I say??? You have the baddest BDR down south, 620 screamin horses... I was glad to be a part of it.

Bests to all, James

Hey guys. Don't give this guy a big head now. He might make me take him out of my "favorite five".

Besides, you think he's cool, you should spend some time with his boys. I think they've got the corner on cool.

Guys, I think I'm out of money now, so I guess we're even... LOL...

Bill, always good to hang out with you and chase you around the track. I need to do something to catch you now. You're getting too fast!

Steve, where have you been hiding??? The boys asked about you the other day. I guess it will be Austin in the Spring before I see you again.

Take care all, James

James,

Not hiding, just staying up in north Texas. And always trying to keep the SPF running. It's a never ending battle. Having lifter or push rod or rocker arm or valve spring or valve (that covers it) problems.

The exciting thing now is I'm probably going to pick up a vintage racer. Remember how jazzed up I was in Tulsa about the Mustangs. Well...one just fell into my lap. Heading to TWS this weekend for a test drive and start working toward a CVAR license.

I can't work on them worth a damn, but I sure love to drive them.

Thumbs up

James,
You're a class act and I enjoyed spending time with you at R&G. I
wish you well in your venture with BDR. It seems that I'm not the only one who knows you do great work and build one heck of a car (s).
Next year I would like to see both cars at R&G please.

Hersh
