Tony hung around long enough to get noticed by the "big boys". We gave him some of the best equipment he ever wrecked. (if you ain't wreckin', you ain't racin'.) You can't blame him for moving up when he did. He told us from the very start that he was going to race in the Indy 500. It didn't take him long to get there either.

He was fun to watch, but was is Eric Fehrman.
Given the amount of TV time and press that we get in TQ's, I can see how Gary Lee see's things. We (Dwenger's) were only in it for a hobby, but I am pretty sure we could have kicked a@@ if we wanted to move up. Only a small percentage of us really want to move up. If we find a place that has good competition and good people to be around, why move?
If you are not going to make a living at racing, it IS a hobby. If you are planning to MAKE a living racing, (good luck,) TQ's are a good stepping stone to a bigger class, IF you have the right stuff.
At best, this is a "wash". However, I do have to give the point to Mr. Lee on this one.
Now, Let us go racing!!!
