Good Guy: Jorge - Jedi54

Jedi is here making Good Guy Threads, but he needs one himself!

Folks, this is the guy that organized yet another successful SoCal Dyno Event. This is at least the 5th dyno event he has put together. Each one better than the last, and this past Two Day Ultimate SoCal Dyno Event has set a standard incredibly high. Two full days of action for all of us, but it took months of planning from him, BHR, MM, and SR Motorcars.

Without Jorge there would be no dyno day here in SoCal. He is the mastermind that has brought the entire team together to create these awesome events. He keeps organization of all the cars going on the dyno. Essentially, he is pretty much the law at the dyno.

Here I am talking about just the dyno day, but he has personally helped me out countless times and I need to start thanking him for that. He helps plenty of individuals here on the forum as well. This one is for you, Jorge

Thank You JEDI!

holy crap, I think this is my first good guy thread
Ngo, thank you so much man for the thread, it means A LOT to me to know that you guys recognize and appreciate my contributions around here.

I know I often complain to you that I'm done planning meets because they're so time intensive but then when it all comes together as well as this past weekend, I just can't help but ask, "what can we do NEXT year to make it even better?"

thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words. You guys rock

Vlaze: I never turn down a free beer. I'll remember that if I'm ever out in your neck of the woods.
2tone: it's been about 20 years since I was in TX and I wouldn't want to deprive your Borla fund so just have a cold one on me next time.

Jon: yup, I double checked...1st good guy thread. thanks for the kind words, I just try and give back to a community that's been awesome to me for 6+ years.

I don't think Jorge is all that great - he let someone steal my pizza!














































Probably Mike.



































Thanks, Jorge, for another amazing event!

What? No aluminum pipe stashed near your pizza? That didn't stop you the last time a guy stole a beer from you!

Ditto. Jorge is very helpful and much appreciated day-to-day. He even graciously answered my PM's as he was trying to recover from all his efforts setting up this dyno weekend.

But we need to import him to what is the comparative automotive wasteland of New England.

Those ain't Enkei's. Those be Advan T5's. Jedi is a first class guy in many ways.
