Big money teams make it hard to win. People need to work two jobs to make ends meet. Kids have so many activities that one parent can't be in two places at once. The price of everything related to building a car is nuts. There are fewer people who know how to work on cars. Us old guys learned who to fix things when we were kids and to make something out of nothing. We have generations of people now who can't fix anything, if it breaks buy another one , they don't even own the tools to fix anything . Neighbors come by the house all the time wanting something fixed or ask me if I want something they have that doesn't work anymore. The guy across the street just called and wants me to look at his new mower that won't start . He is one of my frequent fliers...lol. I can't make this stuff up. I miss racing but not the work it takes but I was blessed to have some great friends who made it possible. Phil Speno was one guy who made it all possible and the fun and laughter we had was worth more to me than any trophy.
