Good job You know your stuff, In Drag Racing & Tractor Pulling. Dave Huber & Army Armstrong

Re: Congrats Travis Miller
 

Thank you to everyone. It is a great honor to win this award.

2009 is my 41st year teching dragracing. Been a Stock/SS techman since I started in1969 at an outlaw track. Hired on at Ohio Valley Raceway in 1970. Worked my first NHRA National event in 1973 at Englishtown. Even teched some truck and tractor pulls in the late 70's thru the early 80's with Army Armstrong.

While I learned a lot on my own, I must give credit to four of my greatest mentors. Unfortunately they are no longer with us. They are Farmer Dismuke, Marty Barrett, Dave Danish, and Don "Pinky" Cobbs. I sure miss those guys. They taught me well.

Again thanks to everyone for the kind words,

Travis
