I'm the guy that owns the Midget that Randy and I towed to Watkins Glen
from Houston. I actually met Andrew through this list. He was asking
questions about getting into the race, so I arranged to have an extra
crew pass available for him. Andrew became the team Official
Photographer. I just got all the pictures and I'll post them to a web
page when I have a chance.
We also met Chuck and I passed him a couple of times on the race course.
We'd love to have anyone come to CVAR at Texas World Speedway, should
they be brave enough to make the trip...
