At Reynolds several years ago, I entered my Thunderbird in Super gas. It was the first time out after having wrecked the car and a new chassis installed. After fighting chassis setup and not getting down the track comfortably, I asked Bill Holt if I could withdraw my Thunderbird and enter my Ranger. He asked me if it had been teched in for this race, which I told him no. He told me I could withdraw the Thunderbird and enter the Ranger. So I was able to race with the Ranger without having made any time runs. Went four rounds on Sunday, so of course I started telling people time runs were overrated. LOL. I was told later that they had picked the Thunderbird for best engineering, but since I had withdrawn the car they gave the award to someone else.
