Our own Vern Bolton "Cashflow" getting his broken chassis welded up by the Capco boys in Phoenix. This is what racing is all about, a Top Fuel team helping out a super comp racer. Very cool!!

Very cool. A number of years ago, Steve Schmidt and Tim Wilkerson both stopped what they were doing to help fix a rocker arm for me. Tim then put one of his guys on it until it was completely back together.

That was the last weekend I ever ran Crane shaft rockers.

That is just great. I couldn't tell you how many times i have been in that position. Since i also bring out the service truck out to an event when possible. One event i had repaired 3 toter drive tires. (Patched) along with a little welding here and there. Always more than happy to help the fellow racer.

I hope that welder is qualified and he gets it recertified before going on the track.

I hope you are joking...BTW Chassis certification has nothing to do with the front end of a dragster its all about the drivers compartment. The rest is a track tech issue.

I think this was a joke regarding a big money race and a disqualification.

Remember the Capco guys were both Super Comp racers not all that many years ago!

Looks like a city job...LOL Thanks to the Capco boys for helping Cashflow.... always like seeing the positive side of our sport.

What the fuc??? Did the Capco team repair Johnny Bracket Racers chassis??? No? Then what the he11 does your post have to do with ANYTHING???

Looks like they’re repairing an upright, or otherwise something up front.

Johnny bracket racers car broke in half behind the driver. Different situation.

Good to see that.

I would like to humbly thank Billy and Steve Torrence, Jake Sanders (welder) and the rest of the Capco crew for all their help in repairing my car. For the record I was working on the Racepak and my friend Bill Dennis noticed a crack where one of the uprights was welded. As Jake put it just a standard Super Comp deal and he said he had fixed a bunch of them. They were just a great bunch of guys and got things fixed in no time.

My understanding was no re-cert was in order and I went ahead and raced the car. Everyone who knows me knows that if it had been more than just a crack I would have not raced it at all until it could be properly repaired.

I will run the Tucson races this week and look everything over before we go to Dallas in a month. Thanks everyone for your concern and thanks again to the Torrences and Jake and all the Capco guys.
