Owner Doug Hillman is very talented on everything from VWs to Porsche and BMW race cars. I'd use him more but he's an hour from me
He built the custom geared transaxle for my 911 race car and welded in the roll cage.
Through his subsidiary- VFC Motorsport- maintains a lot of race cars, including the BMW E36 and E46 M3 racers of several friends.
