Congrats to Bucky and Travis Hess for Best Appearing

A Win is a Win! and at Indy, it's all that much and more! The Hess family can now come home with their head held high. Even though they may not be holding the Hemi Challenge trophy for the Win over 30 or so Hemi Cars (which is very cool though). They are recognized for their efforts in the art and application of the car itself out of several hundred entries. And that is a big thing, and a Win at Indy! Be proud fellas, and take that trophy back to WV ! All of my wins were for "Best Engineered" Car and not the Eliminator, I don't even think they give that award anymore. But our wins are based on hours, days, weeks, and months of effort, and not just parts of a second on either end of the drag strip where luck is a big part of the outcome. Great Job on your WIN IN INDY!
