I was picked up to be a crew member for the "Gary Lewis" racing team. Seems every drive or meeting is a race day or a day they need me at the shop (like this next meeting) I must say I miss all you rotards but being on a crew like this is priceless. Just so ya know we hold the points lead 1/2 way thru the season and have since race #1! And yes I do more than clean LOL! Actualy they told me "We wouldent be whare we are with out you rodeo". So if anyone wants to check out a $80,000 race car, just go to a race and after I would be glad to show you around .

Here is my space page, check out the pictures. I helped build the car from the ground up.

I hope this link works, I am a rotard after all! LOL.

Dam! Had no clue!! It is a small world. Wish I knew you where there, where you in the pits or the stands? I know we will race the Idaho 200, but don't think we are running the Montana 200. Gary is focusing on the LMCS. We hold the points lead over Jefferson as you know and don't want to screw that up running 2 cars back to back.

For those of you that don't know about the Gary Lewis racing team, we are not a big $ team. And we are racing against big $ team's (Jefferson & Garrett Evans and others) and need not miss a beat if we want to take the series. Gary is one amazing driver but he can only drive a running car LOL!! Its all kinda weird for me, I have never worked on a race car in my life until now. I caught on real quick tho, Gary and Ralph keep giving me more and more to do. I nut and bolted the car for the kalispell race (1st time doing that for a race) and have been in charge of setting tire pressures since the 2nd race that's one stress filled job I tell you what! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.gif I air them down just before the main event with no air tank with me.



Yeah kompressor, its a blast and a boot in the ass if you mess up! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.gif I haven't messed up yet, "knock on wood". Actually one thing about the team thats real cool is everyone dose every thing and checks every one else, no B.S it's like one big family.

So I take it you'll be at Spokane raceway park next weekend for the lmcs? It's supposed to be a good field. They're talking about a good field (like 30+ cars). It's a fast 1/2 mile track. Hopefully we'll see you there. Do you go on the racingwest forum? http://www.racingwest.com/bb/board.php?board=4

We will be there, I look foward to having a fellow rotard to talk with LOL!

I havent had much time to stay up to date with with racing west. One rule for the team is no one speaks there but Gary. Besides I live 2 hours from the race shop, when I get home I sleep LOL.

YEAH BABY!!! we took 1st! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683651.gif

It was 111 in the pits during practice, when all the changes are made to the car in a hurry. I almost fell down once from the heat! That was after giving the car a full wax job in 106 temps early in the day, not to mention changing tires, and checking every nut and bolt on the car. I can only imagine what Gary felt waring his fire suit, gloves and helmet!

It was cool seeing you there Brian, wish I wasent so buisy at the time. It was funny, I was helping pull the carb off for the tech guys, so they could look at the intake runners in the heads with there scope, I looked up and there you are! So there I was, saying HI with a hot carb in my hands. LOL!! Then I had a line of kids that wanted to sit in the car. even tho I couldent talk much it was good seeing ya.



Oh and YES we are going to race the Montana 200. I am going to try and get a picture of a Montana roach in the pits, those things are huge!!!!

It was the 42 car I think, I could only see turn 3 from the pits. I was staying in our pit incase Gary came in for some quick work. Out pit stall was in the boonies and couldent get there with out sprinting for 45 seconds or so, then I would be winded and not worth a crap.
