I attended the Diamond Chassis seminar this weekend.  The technical information was good, but the real pleasure for me was witnessing my brother and sister-in-law in action.  I am proud of what they have accomplished in a short time.  While sitting there listening to him talk about the cars, I could not help but to think back to when we first started racing.  As you can see on the photos page (crashed yellow and red car on the trailer), it was a modest start.  We did not know anything about racing, but from early childhood my brother has always been a dreamer.  That is why my Dad put "Dream Chaser" on the back of his first race car.  When we put together his first modified back in 2001, who would have guessed that he would be here now?  It was seven years later on a hope and a dream, that he built the first Diamond car.  It took off slowly in the beginning, but the number of cars has exploded in the last two years.  I am not sure how many cars he has built now, but by the end of the 2011 season his cars have accumulated 198 wins.  107 of those wins came last season alone.  Drivers have not only won races but also championships. 

One of the things that makes me most proud of them is also what I think makes them most successful.  There are a lot of good cars on the market, but it is how they treat their customers that separates them from the pack.  They truly put them first.  He cares more about his drivers winning than he does winning himself.  For this reason, their business has done well, I am a proud brother, and the future looks bright for them.
