Yessssss! I can tell people now!

As soon as I saw you post this link I got all excited and started telling my roommate and buddy at the heliport immediately. My girl probably thinks I lost my mind because of how wound up I got all of sudden She couldn't quite grasp how quick these trucks are, that's why I had come up with that number I sent you yesterday. The Firepunk truck at the first race of the season gained 23.77 miles an hour per SECOND.


See you boys soon! Awesome work!

I own Firepunk, but Firepunk is not a Lavon Miller show. Its the combination of our complete team that works here, as we all love Diesels and most race their personal daily drivers at every event. I have 3 brothers working in the shop and my sister Rolanda is at the front desk. Its nice to all work together, and the rest of the crew in the shop all play an important roll in keeping the quality level and customer service where it needs to be. We have grown much faster then ever anticipated and I am very blessed to have the crew here that I do!
Sure wish everyone would learn this humility!

Very proud of all you all, love a good tight team.

Jim

When you run your business the right way, treat people the right way and handle your self with such humility, its not a shock to see the kind success that Lavon and the Firepunk crew have had.

What a great all around effort and even better handling of the Pomp and Circumstance around them right now.

Looks awesome! I can't believe how much quality work you guys have done in such a short time and still have personal lives. Hopefully I'll be able to come see you guys Saturday.

Chris @ Engineered Turbos is handling the turbo setup and would prefer we keep specs under wraps for now as we are pretty steadily making changes during testing.
