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.

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!
Yeah kompressor, its a blast and a boot in the *** if you mess up!

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

YEAH BABY!!! we took 1st! 
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!!!!
