This is the time for me to thank Bruce Thompson (Bruce302)who last year at Laguna Seca introduced me to Trans Am driver,
Chad Raynal.
So this year at Sonoma I saw Chad and he took me in as though I was part of the family. What a super nice guy and a wonderful driver and a great sense of humor. So Bruce when anything went wrong it was your fault and when things went well I got the credit ! That suited me just fine. On the Friday practice the 1969 Camaro # 64 of Chad's had an exhaust welding issue. (Bruce's fault ) In the Saturday warm up a front brake rotor cracked. (Bruce's fault). But all was repaired in time for the main Trans Am race on Saturday. (Thanks to Ken )
