There's nothing else like it in any auto racing series. 300+ mph in less than 4 seconds is damn sure not easy and can be super dangerous. Many factors are involved just to keep the car going straight. Anything goes wrong, the result can be a disaster and possibly fatal.

You have done a ton in and for motorsports and to me personally, this is icing on the cake! There are so many extremely extremely talented people that can tune these cars that aren't working right now and same goes with crew members and drivers. We definitely need more people in the nice ranks from other Motorsports, as well as sponsors and so on. Just like there needs to be a bigger Spotlight on the pro modified classes, especially the big screw blown stuff for example. There is also something really special about working on Drag Racing Engines versus other types because of all the things you do between rounds and at the shop.
