SEMA is always an exciting show…new products…new car builds…new technology. This year we are going to have Ron Sutton in our booth on Thursday Nov. 6 from about10:00 am until around 2:00 pm.
RideTech has always been committed to quality, customer service & performance…we never sit still. Our team is constantly developing and testing new products for the performance street market. We’re proud to have a guy with Ron Sutton’s background as a Ridetech dealer and appreciate him offering advanced track performance tech advice to our more hardcore clients. The recent push into the Corvette markets and the Gen 5 and Mustang markets has exposed the need for even more and better tech advice for our customers.

Ron added, “This is not a structured class or workshop. I’m a guest in the Ridetech booth to do Q&A one on one or in small groups and share advanced technical help in simple terms, which is what I’m known for.”
If you want to talk directly with a hardcore car guy that designs, builds & tunes an amazing amount of winning cars … you are invited to stop by the Ridetech booth at SEMA on Thursday, November 6th, anytime between 10 am and 2 pm … and ask Ron Sutton your track performance suspension related questions.

And some background on Ron…
For 35 yearsRon Sutton has worn many hats in motorsports from winning race driver, crewchief, R&D leader, race car designer, chassis builder, tuner-for-hire,driver coach, nine-car race team owner & workshop speaker. Ron Sutton and his Winner's Circle race team are famous for winning almost 500 races invirtually every form & series of racing from road course, oval & dragracing.
In racing circles Ron Sutton was known as the go to guy to make race cars faster and teams a winner. These days Ron’s focus is helping individuals with ProTouring, G-Machines, Autocross & Track Cars. Ron said, “I love teaching & helping people make their cars perform better. Whether it’s through my upcoming books, workshops or helping a car guy one on one with his suspension, brakes, powertrain or aerodynamics, I love it. This is my passion.”
Ron explained how this started, “I had a client with Ridetech shocks, so we dissected, experimented & tested them ... and came away very impressed. It is an excellent, well designed & well-built shock. The ride quality & street performance is the best I’ve seen. So I became a Ridetech Dealer. Since then, I’ve fell in love with the whole product line.”

Great stuff Bret!

I've read a bunch about Ron on this site and seen his threads but always felt he was way over my head...until a I saw Bryan Cope, 1971 Firebird aka. TOW, talking to Ron via telephone in between runs at the Good-Guys show at TMS this fall. He and Bryan were discussing changes and set-up on the fly. Bryan's times continued to get better and better throughout the weekend, especially after the phone conversation...on a Saturday afternoon! I was thoroughly impressed. Seems like a class act and great resource to have supporting your business.

Jay - Ron's quite the chef, he can whip up a mean batch of personalized Secret Sauce if you provide the proper ingredients.

Pretty sure that Ron saw a picture I posted on facebook of my car sitting in grid at our SCCA event last Sunday morning. All I know is out of the blue I get a text from Ron saying if I need any tuning help to just holler...it had been over a month since we last communicated I believe.

The man just lives for helping others to go faster.

I sure wish I could make it out to SEMA this year. No way will I miss it next year.

Agreed. I am still learning how to convey information appropriately, and he can quickly identify when I'm wrong.

He just did it yesterday with a question I asked!

Wish I could be at SEMA to actually meet Ron in person. But then I'd probably monopolize his time, so perhaps it's just as well that I don't.
