you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink! all the hype and advertising in the world does not a reputation build. maybe they should have proven themselves first before spending 45K a week.

Well from what i understand AN Racing has been around for ages and someone decided to pour moneyy into a new business called Groundcorp and join AN Racing and Detroit Custom (body shop) together to make a restoration place. I think AN Racing and Detroit Custom are still resuming business as usual
