Elite Diesel built Erik's truck. They did awesome work and are a great bunch of guys to compete with. They helped out Justin Bibby too when he lost his headgasket when ATS told him "tough sh*t". Erik knew how to drive very well, he was calm and collected through the whole event, and didn't have to mess with the truck much between events. That truck is the epitome of a DPC competitor, hands down.
Did you turn wrenches inside ATS shop? Did your truck go on one of their lifts? Dude blew a head gasket? Isn't that what that competition is about? Which truck can stay together and make it through the competition? I don't get why you fault ATS for not touching his truck. Ever occoured to you that there is some liability involved messing with a competitors vehicle? Something goes wrong and finger pointing goes wild and people see dollar signs from a potential lawsuit.
