You must have attended the last Performance Work Shop that was also
attended by the infamous
Ned Madsen of the GoNed Racing Team !!! Obviously when you weren't
alert either Ned or Jim Dallas or possibly
Mr. Innoncent aka Terry Kalp slipped a defective piston in on your
purchases<GGG> The G little N stands for the
GoNed trademark and I am glad you noticed the the "ned" part of the
"GN" was small !!! <GGG> You have got to
start watching who you hang out with at these Racer gatherings.
