Question

Apparently Blake is still in the old building. When I was there a few weeks ago he was telling everyone that he had picked out a place on Chalkville Mountain Road.

Question

I have no idea what the deal is anymore. He told me he was closing on the current building on August 25th, then it was September 25th. Then a couple of weeks ago when I asked him if he had found a new place he said he was going with the place off of Chalkville Mt. Road. I will be there tomorrow at 5:30 filming a 300Z so I'll see when/if he is moving.

I agree.. we should cut him some slack. I don't really know what happened with everything.. mostly hearsay and rumor third hand.. but I've known Blake for the better part of 8 years. I was one of his first customers when Matt, his first tech guy, worked there back in '01.. he's tuned all of my cars, (except my svo), helped me diagnose the probs on my nitrous kit on my 94, has helped I can't imagine how many people on this board in particular out at one time or another.. and countless other people, as well as opening his shop to dynodays, private sessions, and just general Bs sessions talking cars, and hanging out.. WALKER DYNOTUNE was a clean operation with great prices and solid, repeat customer retention, and all that success goes to Blake. He's just a generally, good person.

I hope to God everything is ok with him, and I wish him all the best with his new location. Evrae, keep us posted if you get a lead on his new shop locale.

Will do I'm gonna stop by there this week at some point. I miss working there. rather upset me when he told us he was closing. I left a lil while b4 the others did just because a new job came up but it wasn't as fun as working there.
It was also nice to be generally immune to trussville police traffic stops LOL.
