Thanks to the Bart Family...

My wife and I stopped by the Bart pits Sunday after the race in Vegas. We are still making pretty good progress with our fuel head dragster and wanted to see how the big boys (girls in this case) do it. My thought was that we might be able to take some of their ideas home and apply them to our little operation. Rick took us in like we were old friends. Even though they were trying to pack up, he spent probably 20 minutes showing us the car from front to back, describing their procedures, and answering all my (and my wife's) questions. Before we left Ashley gave us an autograph for my little girls. My oldest daughter is old enough to get some seat time in a junior next summer, so getting a signature from a girl who's playing in the big game gives her a great example. It is truly a shining example of the quality of people that exist in our sport, and on this site.
