I think some of the post are misleading.

Monte is not working on the car. I would have to go back and look at what he actually posted but seems he set the new wheelie bars up and gave Eddie some baseline nitrous tuning strategies. So in fairness Eddie is working on his own car. Eddie and his crewmember are the only ones allowed to work on the car once the event is started if I read the rules correctly. Not an Eddie 1/2" fine thread hugger just giving him credit for what he seems to be doing.
