Wow - The legend himself! Not too many people know this, but the guy on the right was one of the head wrench turners for Sox & Martin back in the day. If Stock is a direct descendant of the firt Pro Stock cars, this guy is the Godfather of Stock!

Dont give that dirt bag that much credit!! That is the same guy that back in the day was on welfare and was going racing!!! NICE!!!!! A new set of slicks? Or feed your kids? Stephenson might have a little money now but that still cant buy him any friends or any respect!!!

Watch how you use the word dirt bag. My first, second, and third wife may be listening and think you are talking about me. I got enough problems already. Ok

When you leave the stageing lanes, the tower takes your dial, it's on the left side of the car at Gainesville. If the racer has two dials, he should be tossed. Also, it's the drivers responcibilty to look at dial board and the score board to make sure the dial is correct. I was at Gainesville, my dial was wrong, I blew my horn at starter,BTW, that's why Rick Stewart hated Stockers. He just about jumped over the tree when I did that to him. It's the drivers responcibility for all matters relating to his dial.

I haven't raced at Gainesville since '98, but isn't the tower on the left as you leave the staging lanes?

Toby, I corrected it, I'm getting old, I've only raced there about 100 times.

Seems a little harsh.
