Most ferocious on track, but kindest in the pits

Yeah! Good choice, Eddie. Tom can always "hide" in my motorhome, when he needs to "get away"! He and Billy can throw a few "brain farts" around. Soupie showes up occassionally and the three of them can argue.....er.....discuss.........yeah, that's it......discuss a problem or two.

I agree about Tom and Billy. I also want to put in a word for Bob Huettman and Steve Ambrose and the late Rey Argenta-I've never met any group of racers kinder than them.

You don't want me anywhere near your wrenches, but I gladly offer driving tips in the pits!

Billy Nees · 01-07-2011, 05:07 PM

Beard! Put down the screwdriver and back away from the toolbox!

Michael Beard · 01-07-2011, 08:02 PM

NEVER!!!

Wait... this is a screwdriver?!

Don Himes · 01-07-2011, 08:12 PM

Don't feel bad Michael, he says the same thing to me!

upon much debate within our home, mostly me talking to myself and my wife looking at me strangly we have decided that our votes go to 5 people in no particular order..

2. Peter Biondo
3. Brenda / Bill Grubbs
4. Mickey Whaley

Well 1201, I'm sure there are a lot of guys that'll help you in the pits. Big Ed and Dave are certainly on the list for many. Heck, I'll give you all the help I can, any time. Just not sure I know enough to be helpful. Last year, at Belle Rose, Soupy had to repair something on my car after every round, and kept saying he was gonna tell Billy on me!
