My wife - of all the people I have met in my life both inside and outside of racing - she is the person I admire the most

My wife and my mother. My wife for accepting the fact from March to November she is pretty much a weekend widow.
My late mother because she put up with my father and I coming home looking and smelling like crap after a long weekend of wrenching at the track. |

Growing up, the guys I always wanted to run to the pits after the race to see were Jack Hewitt and Tony Elliott. Couldn't find two nicer and fan-friendly guys. :respect:
I was a big fan of Jonathan Vennard for a long time but realized he was just a stroke :loser: :rolling Outside of racing would be my old man... It's because of him I'm even into racing and following the career path I am today... After all, I am "his own lil' A.J." :O: |
