Joe, you know nobody comes to a D1 race from out of division if they are trying to win a championship......we're just too tough!!

Congrats Ricky, Sure is nice to see a "little guy" do it instead of a pro.
Hell of a year you deserve it! ENJOY

Congratulations to Ricky Decker on his 2008 S/S World Championship.

There are lots of things that happen during a championship season that can effect the final outcome. Some of them can be called a quirk of fate. We chose Ricky's car for teardown at the Memphis National event. Without a whimper he said where do you want the car. As the engine was being disassembled the rotor cap in the distributor was found to be loose with the screws backed almost all the way out. The next run down the track was first round of eliminations. His championship season could have ended at Memphis with a broken rotor cap. That was one time teardown turned out to be a good thing!

Great job Ricky. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy and I'm happy for you. First class operation.
