Racing friends are the best.

Eventful Jegs All Stars/ Fall Nationals weekend. Broke a lifter on Qualifying pass #1. Fixed it with help and a lifter from Good Friend Vic Penrod. Engine was a little wounded but survived only to then break the upper shock mount off the frame between Fall Nats round 3 and All Stars round #2. With only 45 minutes between rounds was able to remove upper a arm and get it welded up with help from Jarrod Grainier, Robert Fazio Sr., The Country Dog Jimmy Hidalgo Sr. and Vic Penrod again in mad thrash scramble. Only to have the hood latch bracket to break. Emmons brothers came through with a loner latch to finish the race. Racing friends are the best!

Can't express my heart felt gratitude for these guys to dive in and help. Wish we could have gotten the win for their efforts!
