If it's not a perfect pass, why stress the parts if you're short on funds.

I hate to see it happen.

The "Professor" and his son haven't had a major sponsor for a full season in a couple of years. He's funding a lot with his own money and picking up race-by-race sponsors here and there. Lil Jack's right - "Not enough cubic dollars". Kind of a shame, even as crusty as he can be I like him.

every winning pro stock team now has 3 cars or 2 cars and other " partner cars " , the more cars the more data, and more r & d.

In the "good old days" he would win a race and give credit to his other emplyees, Greg Anderson was usually always mentioned. I wonder about that....

After Lee Shepherd was killed, Reher Morrison only had one more successful season, after that, not very much.

I've read about Warrens shop having all kinds of sophisticated machines, that I'm sure GM footed the bill for. AND Warren and Kurt are two sharp cookies, I wonder also, wuh hoppened........
