Congratulations to Ricky Decker on his 2008 S/S World Championship.

There are lots of things that happen during a championship season that can effect the final outcome. Some of them can be called a quirk of fate. We chose Ricky's car for teardown at the Memphis National event. Without a whimper he said where do you want the car. As the engine was being disassembled the rotor cap in the distributor was found to be loose with the screws backed almost all the way out. The next run down the track was first round of eliminations. His championship season could have ended at Memphis with a broken rotor cap. That was one time teardown turned out to be a good thing!

Congratulations Ricky and family on a well deserved championship.

I hope we played a very small part in your winning season. Remember the Stanton divisional? (although I would like to forget it)

Ricky and Missy arrived in Pomona Friday....they were in the grandstands watching the round between DeFrank and Worner this morning. Redman called me as soon as Ricky won the championship.
When I called Ricky to congratulate him, he was getting another call so I am sure his phone has been ringing off the hook and I am certain that he will appreciate everyone's kind words when he reads this forum.
The banquet is Monday and I can't wait to see the pictures of Ricky Decker in a tux??????!!!!!!!
