I agree Dan. Those guys are freakin' nuts! What a great bunch of guys. Just run and say you don't know 'em if the cops show up, though! :laugh: :TU:
The Mass boys were awesome. We were toughing it out camping(there was not many others in tents...) just 50 yards from the infamous engine swap. It was just impossible to stay away, the action and crew working on this was hugely entertaining. Even had to get my hands dirty once. Watching them repeatedly drop the engine on the new 455 mounts(to align the mount holes of course!!) got way more interesting when it was decided that one or two people standing on the engine while it was dropped would be much more effective......... Even the story of the food fight on the journey to the Nats was made more interesting when you got the details - cars on the highway and food was out the window..... Johnno's late night doughnuts, Ramsey's famous "bunny hops" and A&W burnout that prompted the manager to go on the PA for all Buick fans to hear..... The Nats were great with a lot of stuff going on but somehow it is a lot of the funny stuff you remember and these guys were super at it!!!!
Johnno is one of the most rightious and radical people I've ever met. He's genuine, friendly and honest. And definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer. And somehow i get the feeling that he'll do any damn thing someone suggests, but only if it is illegal. Ramsey... what can i say? Every time I saw you you were either covered from head to toe in grease, were under Kevin's car or flogging your Stage 1 mercilessly. Kevin... didn't have a chance to talk to you much... you were a very busy man. But you also seem like a great guy. And I can't recall the other gent's name... Rodriguez? Something like that. He was a riot in the Red Roof parking lot Saturday. All in all I can tell that you are a very tight group and it is obvious you are great friends. I've never seen a greater jesture than how you all ignored the Nats to focus on getting Kevin's car fixed. Thanks to Marc DiConti as well. It will live forever guys. Awesome job. Now, for the stories... Johnno???????
John, Jim, Chris, Johnno, Kevin, These guys stole the show!! Major props, I wish you guys the best. See you next year!!
