The Crew
Dad is the pit crew. When
we were karting, he built the karts from scratch doing all of the tooling work
himself. He built a jig and went on to build the karts. On the hornet, he built
the roll kage. He does all the body work. He is the head mechanic. Building two
race cars take a lot of dedication and hard work. The boys' learn a lot working
beside their Dad. And, he is the crew chief!
The
Hobby Stock has been challenging and a new learning curve for Dad. He definitely
taught the boys about hard work, long hours, and perseverance as he built this
new race car. The boys have learned a great deal and can definitely help out on
all the engine work and body work now. The SportMod presented yet another new
challenge and steeper learning curve due to the amount of adjustments that could
be made. The team never stops learning.Richard Wilson built the car and Randy
Wilson did the sheet metal work and the engine work. Dad and the boys had to do
the assemble. Mom took on a new challenge and did all the vinyl graphics on the
car. In the pits, Randy and B are our extended crew as we couldn't jump to this
next level without them.
Mom is the
team owner. While she jumps in to lend a hand when she can, she mainly views her
job as keeping the team fed, taking all pictures, updating the web site, making
the stickers and funding the operation!
