J178REDPedaling parts is easier than doing the install, But Moe its all about the money and that is why I have a slow a$$ bracket car and your hard work , blood and sweat gets you a T/D ... I have a lot of respect for you and Brian doing what it takes to get there....

I could not agree more Nick. I do have to add that those two also make it look like it is a piece of cake doing it.

Having a woman that supports you sure does help, even though, at least in my case, she doesn't quite understand it

T/D6591I will admit that my last race at the double header Divisional in Canada without my wife( crew chief) I was out of my element. It made me appreciate what all she does for me and the simple fact that I didn’t enjoy the weekend without her.

If you gave your crew chief a raise, she would be more apt to come with you...….

J178REDBender , All this talk about crew chiefs make's me jealous, I have only me. The wife came out once and was great help , but she said never again as she was bored out of her mind between rounds. When to the final that night , boy did I get in trouble from her when I lost ...Hahaha
