You all will have to beat him at some point because he is hard headed and wont quit.

Thanks Dad. For everything. I am more blessed than most to have a father in my life that supports, teaches, encourages, questions, and helps me from time to time. A God fearing man who always put our family and my racing before his. In case some don't know here, my father is a very talented and accomplished bracket and .90 racer. I envy and respect his drag racing ability and have been very fortunate to learn from him over the years. He studies his craft, honed his talent, and has forced others to reap those consequences while being one of the nicest, giving, and humble competitors who's only goal is to succeed and help others in the process.

All this time being on here and building this car, I knew your relationship with EB, but rather than name drop I chose to be myself. Just a guy doing his best, asking questions I don't have the answer to. I want to be like you. Humble, respectful, revered.

And Mr. Ed, aka 1290 (lol), besides my own intrinsic motivation, your comments definitely helped drive me to finish the car in time to take it to Orlando. My dreams of grandeur were dashed swiftly, but I did manage to pull up for first round and make a hit in competition with a car I built. It's a shame everyone came to there senses before I could make you eat crow. I still have that mean message on my phone lock-screen, I look at it everyday. And while I work late at the shop into the night after working my day job everyday, I'll look at it too. Thank you for your apology, I appreciate and accept it. I was just as combative too, so it's not all on you of course. I've gotten many things I'm grateful for from my dad, and being hard-headed is one of them.
