Dude, NEVER tow your car on an open trailer with the car cover on, it will ruin your new paint job.

It may be hard being you, but you sure seem to get a lot more out of less than anyone I know.

Old Yeller, we have never met but I have admired your car for years now. The first time I saw it make a pass was at Milan a couple years ago when it was murdered out. I have to say, I fell love with the car. You sir, are a pure bred racer. You do what you have to to get to the races and you lay it all on the line. Kudos to you. Maybe we can meet this season if you are going to be running in Milan's Friday night heads-up series. I also tow my car on an open trailer. Never for 2,000 miles, though.

Humility doesn't suit you.
I had some preconceived notions about you based on earlier posts that were way off the mark. ( no pun intended )
I apologize , and now appreciate your character for what it is.
I am a couple seconds away from ever grabbing a lane next to you , but it has been added to my bucket list.
I try to do a lot with less , but you have elevated it to an art form.
