Well, when I went to the track day, there was a very fast Challenger there who apparently did not get his brakes bled by a trusted mechanic like Neal, so while coming down the back straight at Thunderhill at about 120 MPH he lost his brakes (a bleed valve came undone). Luckily he found a way to slow the car down and barely tap a barrier.

When he revealed this info to the group after we all got red-flagged, I was just thinking how great it is that I have a mechanic like Neal that I can trust my car with.
I saw the after pictures of that guys car. He got VERY VERY lucky he only needs a new rear bumper.

Glad you were happy with the work!
