I think the time is right for me to run for DD. I have experience working for NHRA Tech, when at DeSoto Speedway, we won tech crew of the year twice in our first two years. I know alot of the technical personal already. They are a great bunch. Of course, all the NHRA people are really a bunch of nice people to begin with, I really mean that.

If I was to become a DD, I know that alot of people will be rather upset as I attempt to bring in different personal into the different departments, some well known individuals and some unheard of individuals.

The list would include, Woodro Josey, Billy Nees, Albert Einswine, X-Techman, Don Himes, any true lover of Stock/Super Stock, Bullwinkle (he is honest), James Perrone, Ed O'Brien, Ed Fernandez, and Jack McCarthy (for unbiased opinions) and any Cajun Cook.

Hey Bill Holt, even though I did not agree with you sometimes, thank you for your dedication and time, I really appreciate it, thank you.
