COMMENTS
Need to add a big thank you to my Crew Chief Mark Hopkins, Crew Gary Vincent, Keith Carlile, Cary Eisenman and Dave Hopkins. Without them, I could not be drag boat racing.

Also need to thank my sponsors Moses Lake Professional Pharmacy, Advanced Medical and Respiratory Supply, AAAHomemedical.com and G&A Truck and Auto.
