I don't know how many people knew tracy Tipky(sp?). But he was a smart guy with the willingness to help people and easy to talk to about anything. I only wish we could have seen the joy he always had going down the track one more time. but he will be remembered by all who knew him if only a meeting or a long time freind. Our prayers are with his family.

I gave Tracy a hard time online but it was just in fun. He was a good guy to talk to at the track. Sad to hear someone passing suddenly. What's with the EMS? Give a shout if you need help. Ask Travis if he still has his dual 4 carbs.

EMS is a aftermarket management system that tracy bought from ptr injection when he got a settlement from a car wreck. He spent all of his $$ and has had zero luck with it since.
He did it right(1000cfm billet 4barrel throttle body,msd 72# injectors,victor senior intake converted,fuel sytem ETC)paid to have it tuned and got screwed..Its a shame because it took him awhile to make the decision to convert to efi and it caused him nothing but heartache because kirk at ptr is the only guy who knew the system and offered no real help to him.

What is it about the system that isnt right? Just the Management system itself? Can Greg be of any help?

The service was beautiful with his car there to take him on his last ride. Many family and freinds attended. Alot of feelings and emotion from everyone ( I personally couldn't stop crying). Tracy touched many people in many different ways. Meeting some of his family and finding out things about tracy. Just know he will still be with us in our hearts and in spirit.
