My carpet program is going to excel even more. As many know, Schumacher has the best carpet equipment. Dirt racing, same thing, that 4wd is going to be an animal and I’m excited to work together with everyone at Schumacher with the development of product in all areas. I’ll be dabbling in On-Road once again, these cars are also extremely good. They aren’t 1/12th Modified World Champs for no reason.
