No, thank YOU!!! :hug:

For those who do not know, Robert is a GM mechanic who has been helping us with Casper since Experiment 626 was born. We make a great team. I have the crazy ideas, and Robert figures out how to bring them to earth.

He has worked on other "high profile" Dmax projects as well, but not sure how the confidentiality would work out.

Well I think the :witch: was off her broom on Saturday. The hamsters where making a joke about their Dad being the "Monkey in the middle" We took off Saturday with Ralph in the lead driving Blue with trailer with the dirt toys, Pat in the middle driving Casper which just started that morning and me behind in the motor home :eek:

I guess it not a bad way to break in a engine doing 175 mph with 65 miles on it ;)

PS-I'm also glad I didn't break anything on my quad:baby:

Seriously, we need "pit crew" when it's time to run. There is actually alot of stuff to do all at once to get me packed into the truck and get it up to the line. Without Ralph there we would have been dead in the water. And we could have used at least one or two more.

The big name teams often have a dozen or more helpers to get running.

I would like to be part of the pit crew too.

You were "part of the crew" and I'm sorry for the omission. Both you and your dad helped alot, thanks! :hug:

Drew helped us prep the truck and did some camera work, and Paul helped out moving stuff, supplying us with lighting, etc.

Again THANKS!! We are happy to have you in our corner.
