If you need a helping hand in November, I'll be headed down for the race so just let me know (I'll be moving back to the southwest in the spring). I've done a bit of pit work for Class 1 down there.

One thing i hate it to pay people $$ to do work i can or might be able to do, So my whole life i have when i run across something i cannot do is i will learn it and master it then do it, Iam allways learnig new things, Iam 46 years old and feel 1/2 that, I love to build things and race, I have driven race cars for a lot of yours, Mostly dragsters, everything from 12 second street cars to 6 second front enging nitro dragsters, Then i build pro street cars like my 8 second 1000hp blown alcohol pro street S-10, Then a 1200 hp blown 572 lifted 1985 chevy truck for the street, I had to take that one apart, i was going to kill me, 1200 hp short box with 38 inch tires = death, Now iam into Baja for life
