You obviously do a great job because the team always gets there on time and well equipped. Keep up the good work as I am certain the guys all appreciate how hard you work to get it all done right.
My son David and I met Tags again at the Edmonton Indy this year. It was quite the time for my son as the team presented him with a Hot Wheels Jersey that the whole team signed for him. He is so proud of oit and mentions it ot everybody he sees.
Hope to possibly meet you at this years Edmonton Indy and congratulate you personally on a job well done!
See you at the race.
