Who would you want as a fly along wrench, remember you will have to come back. I'm talking Sprint Car mechanics. We all tend to glorify the drivers and give very little attention to the man that makes it all happen. Name, Names. Dan

A. J. Watson; but since he once worked with Bob Wilke, can I have them both?
Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.

Ralph Kramden used to always say "to the moon Alice" and he was a bus driver so Ralph would be my choice.

Apparently no one ever asked Karl to try, or there would be a V8 powered sprint car on Mars.

Oh, and a couple more: Kenny Woodruff and Kenny Weld. Remember the "Lincoln" modified that Kenny Weld built and wasn't it Gary Ballough that drove it? Weld told Ballough to take it easy and not show them all it had the first day out, and Ballough ended up lappin the field twice, or something crazy like that.
