Want to join a TF Team???

You see some of the low budget teams panic when they do wind up winning. What do we do now ??

That was us!

If it wasn't for the rain in Seattle in '95 we never would have made it past first round. On Sunday the body shifted on the Funny Car and bent or broke the structure that supported it, but it started raining and they postponed the race until Monday. Second round we pushed a head gasket out going thru the lights. We were prepared to service the motor, but not replace it, fortunately it started raining and they postponed the race until Tuesday. We smoked the tires in the semi's against Hoffman and he took us out. Thank god for the rain!
 
If I still had my CDL and was about 50 years younger I'd get in line
Around '81 I lived in Phoenix and met girl who was familiar with Johnny Loper's F/C team and told me Tripp Shumake was always looking for helpers if I was interested. I was like 19 and felt I had zero to offer and never got up the courage to at least ask. A few years ago, I told his widow, Suzie that story and she said I absolutely should have because Tripp loved getting people involved. One of the biggest regrets in my life is not trying. I'm with you,, I'd be there in a heartbeat if I had it to do over.
