Thanks Torco & Evan Knoll

I forgot to mention in my earlier MIR posts -- a great big THANK YOU to Evan Knoll and the whole Torco Race Fuels crew. A Torco guy was riding around one morning, giving "Buy 4 Gallons, Get 1 Free" coupons to all the sportsman racers. Much appreciated!

Ditto - I sent a personal message to Evan Knoll through his myspace page Sunday night when we got back home. It's much appreciated when us sportsman racers get any kind of support. Evan Knoll is a great asset to our sport, he's done a lot to help out the little guys.

I hope we get a chance to meet him at Rockingham.

Mike, That guy on scooter giving the free tickets was actually "KELLEY THE WELDER". He is at all the races to help racers in need ,compliments of TORCO and Evan Knoll.See you guys and gals at the "ROCK"in a few weeks. Good luck to all /!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!! The more I hear about Evan Knoll the more thankful I am that he is associated with our sport. Kelley the Welder, will definately file that away for furture emergency welding situations.

While I'm at it, I was very impressed with the Hoosier guys who were at Maryland. Something punctured one of our slicks this weekend and we really didn't want to plug it. We toted it over to them (courtesy of Jamie Southard's golf cart) and they broke the tire down and put a patch on it. Coolest thing I have seen in a while, they actually set the tire on fire. Scott explained why and it made sense but I can't tell you why (to seal it or something). They did all this for us and didn't charge us a dime. We love our Hoosiers!!!

they set it on fire to make the rubber cement sticky so the patch doesn't move under pressure or fall off....i do it all the time... hope fully i want have to run scott...myron..mayhew....chip..bertozzi....beard.. ..or any other past world champions or people who have a round record list taller than me and im 6foot7..see you at the rock.
