There is no better friend of racers in all of the NHRA staff than Redman.

As you pull up there, It sure is comforting to look over and see Redman standing between those two lanes. If Red wouldn't have finally went up there and fixed that mess, I cant even imagine an entire event like we had Thursday.Thanks to whoever finally convinced NHRA to switch traction compounds .

If there is a better man than Bill Floyd, I'd sure like to meet him. Division 3 is a better place to be thanks to the Red Man.

Truly one of the nicest guys ever in our sport!! Even though I couldn't be at this year "Sports" it was no surprise to me Bill got the track whipped into shape. Truly a dedicated person to us racers. Thanks for everything over the years. Bill Davis SS374

Re: KUDOS to Bill 'Redman' Floyd
 
Redman and VHT or PJ1 traction compound are the only reason we even got to run the race. Thanks Redman we all appreciate you more than you know. I'll second the ban on VP traction compound, stick to making racing gas.

I second that, tomorrow wouldn't be soon enough.

Re: KUDOS to Bill 'Redman' Floyd
 
Although I was not there. It does not surprise me that the racers think so much of Bill "Redman" Floyd. I have raced Division 3 for over 30 years, and you can always count on Red. He is the one of the best that NHRA has and they should be proud of the job he does, and has done for all of these years.

Red, I hope to see you next year on the starting line with the "Good Piece" :)

Being relatively new to NHRA class racing, Tim , Vince and I have been so well treated by Redman every time we have been out. He is an oustanding person to be respected because he gives respect , thnks for all the help, Redman, Tony Tosto A/S.

Re: KUDOS to Bill 'Redman' Floyd
 
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.
