Heck, I would. Hair was still brown & all here, nothing hurt, more energy. LOL

Been through tear downs with Red Anderson, Wesley Roberson, and Chuck Nelson.
Like and much respect for all of them. Tough tech men are great. That's the way it should be.

Agreed. Met Wesley at Gaineville back in 74 or 75. Tuff, smart but fair. Ended up buying a 2 piece alum degree wheel for checking cam duration and overlap from Red Anderson so the old tape method wasnt needed and I still have it. Another smart and good tech guy. Never knew Chuck Nelson but heard about him. Marty Barrett was another great if you had strong fenders on your car. The alum. fendered car guys didnt care for him much though.

Chuck Nelson is still our tech director. See him every race. Great, no BS guy. Runs the scales. Always try to visit with him at each race. We ain't getting any younger. LOL

Red is a pretty sharp machinist. He made all that checking stuff. Really bright guy. Just a young kid when I started racing, scared to death of him until I got to know him. LOL

Ed you are right, Chuck has always been a straight shooter with me, Wesley one of the best if not the best Tech men i have ever met, now Mr Red, what a guy another straight shooter, just dont jack him around. I always enjoyed racing Div 4, bunch of nice people and racers alike!

The days when Stock Eliminator was a lot closer to Stock, well policed, and wasn't completely screwed up?

Sure. Absolutely. And if the biggest price to pay is some work tearing down at the races, I'm all for it.

It was good enough for guys like Woodro Josey, Arnold Greene, Jimmy Bridges, and a host of others. It made the class real.

That's the tall, slender, kinda quiet gentleman, that is going a little gray? Sure like him too. Seems very fair. Told me at Indy "So, your getting a new helmet for Christmas." lol
