Title: ECTA's new operators
Post by: Seldom Seen Slim on December 07, 2017, 07:12:50 AM
Well, well -- how 'bout that?  Steve and CJ Strupp are gonna take over running the ECTA.  We met Steve back maybe ten years ago at a Shootout and have kept up with him ever since.  We've got a Southern Indiana racer boy running the show now - and this oughta be great.

Steve, in case you don't know him, is the most-everything guy for Jack Rogers and the #757 Camaro - and a bunch of other cars.  He builds, tunes, drives, and tells stories -- just like dang near every other Bville racer.  CJ is the saint of a woman that has put up with him for years.

Take a look at their new Facebook page - Strupp Services.  Oh, yeah - don't forget to take a book to help you translate Steve's speech from Indiana to something we can all understand. :roll:

Corngratulations, Steve and everyone involved.  I betcha this'll work out dandy. :cheers: :cheers:
