Summit Racing is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary in 2018.
Summit Racing’s first ‘shop’ was in the basement of a doughnut shop in Stow, Ohio. The coffee and pastries were nice, but the location didn’t get a lot of traffic.

Well, John invented them, and his latest creation is Genius Surface Sealant, and it really does seem to be a genius product, having tried it out.
Regular readers will know that I’m er, very attentive to keeping my vehicles clean and when John’s daughter, Amanda, who runs Spautopia, contacted me to see if I fancied trying it out, I didn’t need asking twice.
As it happened I was planning to do some work of a More >
LITTLE BATTERY; BIG PERFORMANCE
Mar 1st
