I paid very close attention to this team during it's heyday. Jerry Bickel was a key component in their success. There were many events where they didn't have the most power and the baddest bullets. They were able to 60' better than most in the class and knew how to use their chassis to win races and championships. They were the most consistent and it made them champions.

They (Justin and Maskin) split after the Bristol race. Justin is trying to get back out there. I hope Justin gets something worked out and can return. As for this Yates/Maskin reunion, I am surprised to say the least.
Here's a photo I took of Yate's McDonalds car at the Southern Nationals in the mid 90's. He was lika a G.A. in those days.

A beer to whom ever can tell me who's in the Olds running Yates.

Is McDonald's coming on board too? if they are,Team McDiver is back in action.
Good call. I remember when anyone faced Yates that also had a Maskin motor, 90% of the time they'd lose.
Good guess but wrong. I'll give you a hint,he became a member of Team McDiver.
What brand do you drink? you're the winner. I figured it would take a while but I was wrong. That might have been the race Pete took WJ out in the first round. I've known Pete for a long time and he was a very good racer and with funding,no telling what he could have done. He raced ProMod and that's where he learned clutches.
90%,are you kidding me? I left out the part about having to buy a Bickle car to be a team member. I remember a race where Mark Carter had Yates beat so bad that had to slam on the brakes to keep from "breaking out".

. I wasn't sure if it was Williams or Larry Nance. I am glad to see my memory is still going strong at the ripe age of 30.90%,are you kidding me?

I know you and I remember, Mike, so I'll throw it out for the rest:
Who was the team captain of the diving crew?
Hint: He came out of nowhere, was very much a player for a while, and disappeared just as quickly.
Somewhere around here I have a copy of the "Top Ten Reasons I Lost" list which was suggested by other pro racers in the pits at Brainerd one year. Larry Morgan spearheaded the effort to put the list together so the teams in question wouldn't have to keep using the same excuses over and over.
Hey, who says Pro Stock racers aren't a caring bunch?
Would that be Chuck Harris?
Like I said, I knew you'd remember.
