Redman is the best of the best.There are some out there who do an outstanding job
and do it with skill and tact towards the racer.He is among the best.Hope to see him down the road.

I remember my FIRST 10.20 run. I see Redman in the pits and he says, " Finally got that old Dodge in the 20s - nice run." - How'd he know ? - Because he cares ! Great guy. JB.

You can say that again. Back in '06 I believe, I went to the division open at Indy. It was just my wife, my son who was about 2 years old and myself. My Mom and Dad were on vacation somewhere and this was the first time I had ever raced at Indy. So we get there and get the car unloaded and I go up to find tech. I roll up the road behind the bleachers and I obviously had that I don't know where I'm supposed to go look on my face. I look up and see this NHRA tech guy (Redman) waving me in his direction. I apologized for not knowing where to go and he says your Dad should know where to go. Mind you. My Dad and this car haven't been to Indy since the mid 80's. 20 years or so ago. He made me feel right at home and was very welcoming. Being by myself (without my Dad at the track) it was very comforting knowing someone was there more than willing to help out or point me in the right direction if needed.

Thanks Redman.
