There's a lot of talented individuals here in the Carolinas. American motor sports were born and headquartered here for a reason. Almost every God fearing southern man, love him or hate him, knows his way around air tools and a shop. And more of us than you think aren't scared of electronics and technology.

Why does he have to be "God Fearing"? It takes less than a year to learn your way around a maintenance bay.

I hardly think the Carolinas were where motorsports were "born". From a US perspective, Southern California, Detroit, and Indianapolis were all major contributors to motorsports technology in the period before and right after World War I. The Carolinas, as a motorsport technology base, didn't come into their own until the 1960s.

@George.....Have you ever heard of the Research Triangle??? It has nothing to do with motorsport heritage. It has to do with the quality of high-end research centers in the area that make Spartanburg, which also happens to be in a good location economically a good idea. Take your ignorant views on automotive manufacturing centers somewhere else.
