[Tony Hewes]

I have never posted on this or any forum before. However I felt it nessesary to share a story about Justin Lamb. I don't know Justin personally only casually talked to him to say hi in the staging lanes etc. Two years ago at the Sonoma points race Justin raced my friend and engine customer Gary Williams. We had been having trouble with the Comet shutting off for no reason ( We later found the crank trigger pickup to be faulty) As luck would have it, the Comet shut off coming out of the water. Justin had completed his burnout and saw Gary's brother Bill and I looking under the hood trying to figure out what was wrong. Justin rolled the window down and said he would wait for us to try to fix it. The starter told him to stage and he shut the motor off and said he wanted to race of any way possible. We stare fixed it for a while and decided we couldn't make it run. We told Justin to take the single, pushed the Comet away and called it a day. I will never forget what a class move that was from a racer that we didn't know hardly at all. I felt with all that has been said on this thread I should share this story. Great job and great season Justin!
