WOW! What an incredible day Saturday was. When I left in the evening after the Summit was over, my Wife asked what in the world we did ALL DAY LONG. I responded that it could have lasted another day and I wouldn't have complained. The food was great, the people were great, and the hardware made me weak in the knees. C'mon guys, I'm telling you -- if you havn't seen a Kirkham in person, you don't know what you are missing. The billet suspension parts, the cross drilled rotors, the satin form of the aluminum body -- it's beyond description. These guys are working magic in Provo, and you gotta see it to believe it.
It was especially nice to put names with faces. David Kee has a new level of respect in my eyes since I met him in person and heard him speak about the top loader. Same for Mike Lefevre with regard to the aluminum 427. It was also facinating to meet some of the Club Cobra crowd in person -- I will read many of their posts with a new level of understanding. It's amazing how a person's posts take on new meaning when you have met the author in person. I'm trying to saying something nice here.....I think.
Anyway, great time. Oh -- one more thing. I was impressed that the Kirkhams took the time and effort to CNC machine a special aluminum plaque (the size of liscense plate, but about four times as thick) for the attendees. The plate read "KIRKHAM" with references to 427, 289, Utah and Poland. A cool souvenir and another small indication of what a class act they run. I've said it before and I will say it again now -- KIRKHAM=THE INDUSTRY STANDARD.
By the way, I pick up my Car in two and a half weeks. For anyone that's interested, I ordred the stainless chassis and all the billet that was available. Thank heaven I'm so busy at the office that I can't think about the car, otherwise I'd probably explode.
