Calm before the storm
Todays breakfast and garage tours was one filled with surprises. We had 18 Lowes cruisers in attendance for our Breakfast & Garage tour this morning. After our yummy breakfast at Double T diner we drove 2 or 3 blocks down Belair Rd to the home of Maryland Performance and Specialties. After being greeted by our hosts Tom and Brian Van Popple, we milled around the store and some of us made our selections as others picked Tom's brain on some future parts. After checking out everything Tom and Brian have to offer we were escorted around to the back of the building, where to many of our surprise was a 3 bay garage with ample storage. Tom and Brian was ready for us with a manufacturers rep from Lucas Oil and a rep from Doug Foley's Dragster Ride Along. This shop is where Maryland Performance offers to install many of the performance parts they sell.
Doug Foley's ride along is a great place to feel the rush of going 150 MPH in a 800HP Big Block Chevy Powered Dragster. They currently have dates available at Atco and Maple Grove and hope to be at Cecil County real soon. Check them out at www.dougfoley.com .
After we had some donuts and sodas supplied by our hosts, we made it back around front where we settled our bill for the parts we purchased and took home a ditty bag of goodies Tom put together for us. Including a discount on our next parts purchase and a sample product from Lucas Oil. Totally unexpected and very much appreciated. Thanks go to Tom and Brian for being such great hosts for our garage tour! As we left another surprise,FLURRIES were spotted as we were going home. Who knew it would end up a messy white day. Certainly the weather man didn't know!
Till next time...........JBB

GARAGE TOUR THIS WEEKEND!
Our breakfast garage tour will take us to Maryland performance Specialties.
We will have breakfast at the Diner on the corner of Rt1 and Joppa Roads. Please meet there at 8:30am so we can be at Md Perf by 10:00am. This is a better place to meet when you consider its less than a mile from the shop. I have recieved a request for a shop visit that we will be doing in March at Frames To Flames in White Marsh. these are the people who did Ray Porter's Willys. So I hope to see alot of you at the diner and for the garage visit. JBb
