A mention of MM in the H'burg newspaper
#1
Somehow the paper found out about an award I won at Carlisle, but fortunately they mentioned MM.

About 3/4 of the way down the page: link

As pasted from above article:

"Denbigh Wins Ford Car Show Engineering Award

Peter Denbigh won the engineering excellence award at the All Ford National Car Show in Carlisle, Pa.

Denbigh, 26, is president and founder of WildWires on Neff Avenue in Harrisonburg.

He won the award for his 1985 Merkur XR4ti, a German-made car imported by Ford in the 1980s.

The award recognizes modifications that push a car beyond its design specifications.

Denbigh is a member of Madison Motorsports, a group a James Madison University students and graduates who build and race cars."

Good job, Pete !

Can we send this to JMU administration to let them know that we're not a bunch of hoodlums? Maybe then we can get support from the university.

Wasn't that the award the Merkur club gave you? How'd they find out about that?

Either way, good job man!

Yeah a huge thread like 20 page long on focusfanatics.com was all about the All Ford Nationals at Carlisle this year. It was a drunken camp out fest.

Why would you post that? Seriously, what was the point of that? If some people I knew told me that they thought you sucked a lot would I post that? No.

Any successful company will have ex employees whose life goal is to diss the company, it just happens. We have pleanty of awards determined by customers that say differently. Regardless, those folks that think it sucks don't last long at the company anyhow for good reason.
