Holy pit crew distraction Chuck ! Hope everyone was focused on their jobs with them around the car. Both Barry Setzer from the Pat Foster days, and Jim Jannard who sponsored Scotty Cannon through Oakley , said they were influenced to sponsor the car , partly by how their kids were treated by the driver and crew, like you said , you never know how that person at the ropes could influence your racing operation, always be on best behavior to the public.A great question Chris thanks for asking - a friend of mine worked at Stack-On Products as a line supervisor and introduced me to its founder/owner/President Mr. John Lynn. Mr. Lynn was a very personable person interested in Motorsports. I presented him with a proposal and we negotiated a multi year contract. In addition I introduced Mr. Lynn to Mr. Orville Moe who was the owner of the now defunct AHRA and Spokane Raceway Park. Stack-On became a presenting sponsor at AHRA events. They provided complete tool box sets to the AHRA Champions as well as being the presenting sponsor for the English Leather Pageant held during the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. In closing you never know who is in a pit area for Mr. Lynn attended several races incognito to gauge the racers and spectators response to his product line and our Seyler Ford T/F car.
