2000 first national event Englishtown. Won class and after the scales and fuel check
Bruce (we all know him) invited me to the dance. Tear down! I had 5 runs on a fresh Tom
Boucher motor. I had to walk all the way around to the other side of the pits to get my tools. Started to take the valve covers off, I hear a scooter drive up behind me, It's Tom, telling me to get away from his engine. He took the head off and walked in and Bruce ( you remember Bruce) said "Oh It's Tom's motor work" and laughed. I learned that in this sport your friends and engine builder's help doesn't end at motor pickup or anywhere else. I have made great friends through drag racing. Thanks to all.
