Well Guys and Gals,
It has been a VERY hard decision to make, but I will be moving to TopSpeed this coming Friday.

First things first; I have the HIGHEST respect for Dan, Tracy, Brandon and Mike at Batlground. Dan is one of the most intelligent people I have EVER met. I would absolutely trust Brandon to prep my car for the track. Mike has been doing a great job running the front office and getting parts for all of us. I didn't interact with Tracy that much, but what they are doing with Batlground is great.

That said, I don't quite fit there. They are dedicated to being a high profile race shop, and that requires "pushing" very hard. They are going on to great things, but that requires absolute dedication, long hours, and strict policies. Their constant interaction with the West coast makes their later hours more appropriate for them.

I made my "push" to be a racecar driver a few years ago. Ashley and I were working full-time. Then I was prepping for the track at least 4 hours a night, at least Wednesday and Thursday. Then we would leave Friday afternoon and drive all night. We'd race all weekend, then get home after midnight Sunday night, just to back to work Monday morning...

Anyway, I am now at the point that I need to be spending time with my family. I'd like to be home for dinner, particularly with us hoping for kids next year.

I believe that TopSpeed will give me the opportunity to work more normal hours. We will be starting at 8 or 8:30am and trying to give great service and do cool things within an acceptable day.

I think most of you have known that Doug and I have been surprisingly good friends and worked together quite a bit, despite having been each other's primary competitors. We will now be entirely co-workers.

I am really looking forward to working full-time at TopSpeed. Look for some really cool new TopSpeed products in addition to all the great services we will be providing.

***Cliff Notes:
I am leaving Batlground, but we are on GREAT terms and I have the HIGHEST respect for them.

I will be starting at TopSpeed Friday. I am looking forward to working with the crew there.

Thank you for reading this,
Scott Siegel

Awesome move Scott! This will be a much better fit for you. I can't wait to visit the new place of employment. You and Doug will now rule the tuning world!

Scott, you sure like to spread the love around. Looking forward to doing more business with you and possibly starting a loving relationship with TopSpeed. One Lap of America should be great next year!
