Re: Thanks to Pro Trans and the Smiths at Divisional
That's what drag racing is all about. Not about beating someone, but the friendships it creates. The Smiths just gained another notch of respect from me.
John, I've been thinking about you since Pomona and what you're going through. I pray everything goes well as I want to at least have another chance to b.s. with you at the track again. Thanks for being one of the good guys!!!

Re: Thanks to Pro Trans and the Smiths at Divisional
I've known Dave Smith for 30 years, since we worked at the L.A.County Mechanical Department shops. I was at Pomona in '82 when they won Super Stock with the Cuda. I've seen Dave's son and daughter grow up, and start racing, and there is no finer racing family on earth. You can't say enough good things about all of them. We also couldn' t have been happier for them when Darren won the championship a few years back.He and the silver Dart absolutely dominated Div.7 Super Stock that year. We're fortunate to know them.

Re: Thanks to Pro Trans and the Smiths at Divisional
I think this points out the general quality of class racers no matter the Association.
In my experience racers have always dropped whatever they were doing in order to help fellow racers have a chance to compete. This is something you won't see in any other motorsport. A big thanks to them for helping John and son. JimR
