walking around during the rain delay, and after the shows each night at the nationals, I have to hand it to you (haud), the 15, and 11 for selling merchandise! I realize it takes manpower to run the trailers and that some people want to watch the show BUT for such a slow time in the economy and the cost of racing going up and up you are the smart ones for continually trying to sell!! Each time we would go by these trailers, we would comment on the fact that since they were open, people were buying!!!! NOTE TO EVERYONE try to keep your trailers open and your merch selling! I would guess it pays off in the longer run.

Hey Maxi.....I am assuming you are Mrs "Wild Child".....one thing you are missing when Jac is racing is the fans response when Jac is introduced......at all of the tracks that I have been at, no one gets a consistantly greater positive response than Jac! Even up here in Ontario when the Outlaws came to Ohsweken, he was the fans favourite.
I will always remember 5 or 6 years ago at the Nationals when I had bought some photos there and going around the various autograph sessions to get them signed. One of the drivers would not even "grunt" or make any eye contact after I expressed my gratitude. In Jac's case I had 2 photos of Jac flipping through turn 3 & 4 at Eldora in the yellow Pennzoil 22. Not only did he sign the photos, but he remembered the event and took the time to tell me all about it. I totally understand why he has been over the years consistantly a "fan favourite".
Thank you Jac for your years of amazing racing talent and the many hours that you have graciously made yourself available to the fans.....you are truly "one of a kind"

Was just on Jac's web site looking at the 35 year shirt. Where is the pink Tognotti car?

Jac is absolutely the best! We had a great visit when I brought my wing over for him to sign and he also signed George's cart. I will be ordering the car. I think it will be one of the greatest collectibles. We have always talked about Jac's popularity. I have seen just about everyone booed at one time or another but I can never recall anyone mad at him or boo him even though nobody drives as hard or intense as the Wild Child. He is and always be the one.
My wife told me if I went to one more Sprint Car race
she would leave me.................I'm sure gonna miss
that ol' gal.
