Agree, in another thread a few years ago I mentioned a Professor I worked with and raced with (a very few times) in Ohio, Doctor Richard Hathaway.

Here is the post from that thread:
"One of my old Professors "Doc Hathaway" is a crew chief on a very competitive ISMA-International Supermodified Association Sprint car.
When he is racing in the area I try to go and help him and his team."
The area was Fremont's Speedway, Attica's Speedway, and Wayne County's Speedway in Orrville Ohio.

The link for Attica is damaged,
Wayne County Speedway

Help in this case being adding gas to the vehicle, changing tires, setting the wing angle,
etc. No real engine communication.
You should check it out Eric. You live in Ohio.
