So with the tutelage of you guys over the past few years I got a chance to prep a car for a gentleman making his first run for the SCCA Majors (formerly National Runoffs). This is our first weekend and with a fraction of the budget of the big boys in P2, so far we qualified 3rd for this afternoons race. If we finish well enough today and tomorrow, we only need to run Sebring next weekend and Road Atlanta to be in for Daytona in September. Already avoided a catastrophe yesterday when I spotted a control arm bolt nearly ground off by the curbs during my final check.[

Even cooler is that I've had two different team owners ask me to come crew for them next year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Anyhow, thanks for helping me get a foot in the door!
