What’s your first reaction when someone tells you they want to become a professional rally driver? It’s highly likely that you’ll probably just smile at them and say “oh, that’s nice!,” knowing how much effort, money, and time it takes in preparations to hit the dirt track in a professional manner. That was probably the reaction Jay Bullington from Saukville, about 30 minutes north of Milwaukee, got after announcing his plans to his friends.
Jay is the owner of JXB Performance, a company that designs and sells performance car parts. Most days he pretends he is working together with his two colleagues “when we're actually just spitballing ideas to make the race cars go faster or what the next crazy build will be.” It was probably one of those days when the idea of an Audi S6 prepared for ice racing came to mind. And the execution of the project is absolutely awesome.
