    He rates right up there in my books and will be hard to beat once he gets the hang of things again he didnt qualify in round one 19th in a 2010 Mustang :thumbs2:

    I also met Mike Edwards and had him sign a 8 X 10 picture of his B/SM Maverick that I took at Indy in 1980. When I showed the picture to Mike's wife, she went looking for him and found him another team's trailer. He came out with the picture and a big grin. He thanked me for bringing it out and said, "That's when racing was really fun!"

    Thats really cool And one reason i really enjoy going to these events is how friendly the pro's are, for the most part. Last year i was crewing on a super gas car and we stayed at the track all weekend, man it was cool to be there participating. One of the coolest things i have ever done.
