    I had a similar situation at Indy this summer. Jay changed out a cracked valve spring keeper. I'd never met Jay before. What a gentleman!

    I've begged Mr. Handy on my knees to let me drive that RT1. Probably ain't gonna happen. Still buying lottery tickets.

    NJMP was a blast. Long trip for me but great racing here. VRG and RFFCS put on a terrific show. Lee's track is a must-do if you've not been there.
