I'm a little belated in getting this out but I wanted to echo Jason's senti=
ments about executing Kas' mantra to perfection. The weekend threw high tem=
ps, humidity, storms, wind, and all manner of other obstacles our way but t=
hanks to quality prep and execution we came out on top against much bigger =
teams with much bigger checkbooks. As crew chief Jason did a flawless job o=
f getting the equipment there and ready to go. More importantly, it remaine=
d ready to go all weekend and we never had to scramble or panic. We were pr=
epared and nearly first to grid each time. As a driver it's great to not ha=
ve to worry about whether or not the car is up to the task. I was able to g=
o wheel to wheel and nose to tail (inches) with some tough drivers and some=
beautiful seven figure cars knowing that I could put the car where I wante=
d/needed it to be. Fellow FOT member John Reed was able to make it up for p=
art of the weekend as well. John's input on race starts in particular had a=
big impact on my development over the past several years. I am always lear=
ning and always listening - especially when the person doing the talking to=
ok his GT6 to victory so many times over all of those years by employing th=
ose same tactics.=20
Thanks again for all of the kind words. Now we just need to get Jason his K=
-Cup in 2016!=20
Brian Garcia=20
Friendly Ghost Racing=20
