First and foremost, I want to say Congrats & Good Luck to David Baca.
With that said, I don't know who I'm happier for - David Baca or Rod Fuller.
It is apparent that David Powers has recognized a class act that doesn't fall far from the tree. Dennis Baca was a class NHRA product from the 70's and much like his son, a "run-whatcha-brung" kind of racer. This Baca duo are one in the same when it comes to how you accept the sport. You show up and qualify. If you don't qualify, you go back to your pit and figure out why YOU didn't qualify.......not dwell on who did and why. You go "out" on race day, you analyze what YOU did wrong or could do better......as apposed to blaming it on your own crew or your opponent "deep staging".
. Which brings me to Hot Rod. Enjoy these next two races and take in the feeling of what the epitome of a "team mate" really is. Yes, he is older and wiser. But he will share his knowledge and his years of experience. He will help you help yourself to be a better driver. Most of all, you can bet your last dollar that he will Never, EVER ...... hop on a bicycle and just ride off when you need a friend...............
