We go behind the scenes on how Ron got into engineering, what his influences were, whether being exposed to an OEM manufacturer has jaded his love for culture and what he has learned from working with an OEM for his own build as well as what he's learned from his own personal build and how he applies that at the proving grounds. Fascinating stuff and we are incredibly proud to bring it to you.
