NASCAR Touring

[Big Daddy]

Attached is a photo of the Southwest/Northwest NASCAR Touring Car I crewed on a few years ago. This belonged to a great friend and we had many a good time running this car. We raced: Sears Point, Irwindale Ca., Bakersfield Ca., Phoenix Az., Tuscon Az., Tenino Wa., and the California Street Race. We were even on ESPN during the Sears Point Race. It was a blast!

What was your role?

It would take a lot of space to describe it all. Basically you have transportation, setup, practice laps one day, qualifying one day, then the race. I drove the semi pulling the trailer and car, was responsible for a complete inventory of the trailer (car parts, body parts, oils, springs, tires, spare motor, transmission even beverages and snack food), once at the track I kept track of lap times, tire temps, and any chassis changes, I also took car of the overall appearnce of the car, to include waxing, windows, etc. Then on race day I was the team representative to the NASCAR officials usually in Timing & Scoring.
