Charlie, whom I had not met either, looked at my trans and said it was identical to his spare and told me to put it in my car and go racing! Then as I was getting it under the car to install it, Jim and another racer whom I hate to say I forgot his name, that happens more since I hit mid 60's, and they helped me put it in the car, in fact Jim was working circles around me. We got done just in time for me to make the last session and it went flawlessly down the track. I wish I had made better use of all the labor instead of going red in the 1st rd. But we still had a great time all the locals and track personel so nice and the food was great! Last time I went there Jimmy Hidalgo bailed me out when an out of balance rear tire shook my hood latch loose near the finish line, not nice! But again the race family comes thru wouldn't it be awesome if everyone was like that! Thanks again guys! and happy Easter, lets not forget what He did for us!!
Kenny, the other racer is my friend, Mike Ramey. He is a great guy and without him coming to the races, it would be difficult to race at all. He is always willing to tackle a problem and help out. I have never heard him say no to tackling a problem.
There are so many great sportsmanlike gestures that go on at the track. I am sure there are many stories to tell like this. We should share more of them. It is a big part of what makes us good sportsman. Only one person is going to win the eliminator, but when we take time to help each other out, we all benefit.
