Jim Creighton, thanks so much!! It is truly an honor! There is SO much talent in this class and much of it posted on this topic. Thanks for the kind words guys!! And yes, the engine did help Dan and a huge thanks to you and Drago. This is the third season on Drago's engine and it is still strong. But, with the compeition at the SIC, I thought I needed something fresh and it paid off. Dan, you and JIm build a fantastic product! I still have Jim's engine as a back up even after that much time on it. That's just how good the cars are. And you can't ignore Fowler's service and car building skills either. Just look at Skip's car and how well he's done this year. Tom thanks so much for your help...you always put up with my whining and help me with data, set up and improvement.
It isn't just great equipment though, you guys are simply the best. Danny, Todd Buras, and many others are always willing to help get you up to speed. Danny, you've kept me off suicide watch on the weekends where I'm getting beat up in the field. Thanks man. And thanks Terry! I made the right decision.
A massive thank you to the stewards, corner workers and track officials. Everyone works SO hard just so we can go out and have fun. SCCA puts on the absolute best events and it's because of you guys.
Most of all, you guys know my faith. I can't do anything without Jesus. I know the Lord allowed me such a great weekend and blessed me with a win. We serve an awesome God.
See you guys soon. Rog
"God is good!"
