I remember when I heard you started working as a tech official for NHRA and my first thought was.......Oh Boy....just wait....LOL. Hope your feeling better and are able to start racing again soon. Take care.

It still aint changed much now. Gotta love it and love the abuse (sometimes from racers ). Every racer should be a tech official at least once.

I agree with you Danny. It should be a requirement to get a number and/or liscense to race. Keep Hank and Robert straight......LOL.
