Shoot Jeff, I was trying to figure out how to use the engine you rode in on but I couldn't see myself with enough leg room. :shock: You are definitely invited to be part of the pit crew. Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a video of the race from a Honda's point of view. He passed me first thing. :roll:

Wow, we're superstars! :mrgreen:
Here's the car Ron fixed the rollcage on. These boys were going from team to team, trying to scrounge up enough rollbar tubing to piece together what they needed. Ron brought enough extra to fix them up right:

These guys brought over their lights so we could install the engine at night. They went home early due to too many oil leaks:

These fellas are the ones that wanted to charge me to borrow their cherry picker. After much negotiation, I got it for free. They turned out to be pretty nice fellas, but they had a blow up doll in their car with my mother's name on it. I couldn't forgive them for that so I voted for them to be crushed. I guess I was the only one, since they ended up winning the race. :?

Here were our buddies in the Alfa Romeo. The only ones that appreciated good moonshine. Hope we see them in September!
