Feeling no need to try and hide it, everyone saw it anyhow, he simply drove up there to buy his tech card with him and his money fully soaked. We miss him too.

I'm going to look the next time I'm at the office, but I think I have the last tech card he ever signed somewhere near my computer.
Carl, he loved you guys too! One of the last times I was down there before he passed he REALLY just wanted to go to Speed World and race but he was too sick to drive. He decided that we were going and that I was going to drive. Would'nt take no for an answer. We drove over but it was a rain out and he still wouldn't give up, so we drove to Lakeworth, Lakeland? or something like that and I got runner-up that night. He filmed every pass and it was just one of the best nights for all of us. He would always talk about Maxy,Tripplet,Cohen,Taylor,Love and all the Div II guys. You guys are a good bunch down there.
