He's really good at what he does, but I never had any respect for him or his attitude.

Warren has a great attitude, and a great sense of humor. You just have to know him, and understand him. I like Warren a lot, he's a nice guy and a lot of fun once you understand him.

He actually likes Stock and Super Stock, I spoke to him a couple of times in the lanes when Pro Stock was in the lanes at the same time. He was almost as much fun as Grumpy Jenkins, who was hilarious just about every time I talked to him.

When Warren is at his pit, his engineering mind is working all the time and he might appear to not be friendly.

Eckman was eligible for reinstatement years ago, but refused to pay the fine he agreed to when he was suspended. Apparently someone finally paid his fine for him. It was like $1500.

I was at a function where Allen Johnson was speaking once. Someone asked him about the Wayne County deal and his reply was: "I am still close friends with Darrell and Dave. Neither one has ever gave an inkling of what was happening, but (and he laughs) you know what they were doing".

Last I read, Jerry couldn't pay the whole fine, he still owed a balance of $15,000, not $1500. NHRA has finally "forgiven" the fine. If his partner was worth a damn as a man, he'd have payed the entire fine for him immediately.

Ok, I wasn't sure when the "break-in" occurred I just know they were in Newark sometime it was on the east end of town just off rte 16. They moved in after I left home there.
