This is far from snowflake talk but the trophies and money won are not much without the friends you share the victories with.

Thanks again

Paul, you are absolutely right. I made my 1st pass down a drag strip in 1970. I have had many cars that I raced since then. The friends that I have made along the way are priceless. Some I have known for over 40 years and, yes, some have passed on. I have won some money and several trophies, but the friends are worth MUCH MORE. I met one of my friends 48 years ago and I went to his 90th birthday party last September and we greeted each other like old friends should - a big hug and big smiles.

you never know when you will meet a guy at the track that truly becomes a best friend mentor .... in my case mostly because my kid made a calendar in 2002. paul strolled up to my wagon under the bridge at indy pulled door open and stuck his hand in 'hi im paul wong" caught me off guard i was expecting a chinese guy weve been good buddies ever since.... and speaking of buddies his little guy bradley is super cool.
