I had them back both of us out of the staging lights in the final at Memphis because the dial in was wrong. One of my crew members caught it.

That's a tough way to loose. It happened to me once. Now I always check my dial before I pre stage. I learned the hard way.

The traction was real good for the entire event.

Good traction happens when you have a talented starter who knows what he is doing instead of a showman who's only interest was play acting to the camera.

VHT ( now called PJ1 ) is the one that works . The prep crew at Gainesville is excellent .

Talking Re: Gators starting line prep

Hey Chad a great racer once told me if it was easy everybody would do it! So lets go over the driver part 1) pit all stickers on car ( Not the owners responsablity) 2) check air press. 3) check dial on window 4) check dial on boards 5) DON'T screw anything else up and get the round WIN. Any questions, Repeat as needed!!!!!!!...............LOL see you in Belle Rose we'll practise..
