Don’t forget his trick shocks he developed with Ronnie Crooks.

Don’t you have to be with a company to go?

Why go see the flash and flare of stuff that's raising the cost of racing and killing the sport...

I've been to several... Orlando, Louisville and Indy.

When I was promoting it was about shaking hands and networking with people in the biz. My first trip back in the 80's got me a crap load of promotional signs, banners and give always for my track. Plus I got some cash to give to my driver's on Friday nights.

Now I go to spectate. I need to bring a piston sample to give to the outfit who is making a new set for me.

I like to see what's new engine tech just to keep up. I like to talk to the guy who grinds cams... and the ones that make the springs... and the man who welds up the chassis.

I even take a peek at the drag racing stuff. You think dirt cars are pricey? There's 10G's in the dashboard of the average door slammer. Plus a $50k engine and a $15,000 transmission.

I even ran into the "stars" from the 405 and exchanged Barb's with them. I asked Murder Nova's crew guy to take a pic of me with the guys and he took a selfie of him by mistake...and he tunes the car but can't run a camera!

Anyway it's a fun day or two. Cheaper than buying a ticket to a Lucas race and you might even run into one of your racing heros...or your neighbor.
