When Pete Fitzpatrick told me about shuttering his RS Barn facility it was quite disconcerting.  Pete and Max had built my car from the beginning.  Then Pete told me of his plan.  Pete had brokered a deal whereby Max, his mechanic of five years, would be at Provost Motorsports in NJ.  Apparently Max speaks fluent New Jersey and his passport was in order. 

My vehicle is garaged in Abington.  Using the two turnpikes puts me at the Bordentown, NJ in 40 minutes.   It’s a tad longer than driving to Newtown where RS Barn was located.  You even pass a Chickies and Petes on Route 130.  Recognizing this establishment as a pinnacle of western civilization, a few of my fears melted away  The border guards also explained this EZPass thing which provides for easy interstate crossing.

Rob is very active in Schattenbaum.  He is a Board Member and supervises the Tech Line at their DE events.  He regularly autocrosses’ with the SCCA and has recently begun PCA Club Racing.  During Schattenbaum events he brings his whole crew and a van full of tools.  He gladly provides track side support for his regular customers.  All Schattenbaum tech inspections are done at his shop as well.  Our New Jersey Porsche brothers run a great program and this year are really focused on NJMP.

Robbie and Max continue to maintain my car this year.  The worked performed is excellent.  I would highly recommend Provost Motorsports.
