Visit to racing shop




Wow, We had such a good time hanging around the racing shop last Saturday morning but there was someone missing. The driver of the race car, Ed Gibbons, had died in his personal vehicle in an accident that happened two weeks ago. Billy Cagel, Ed Gibbons crew chief, invited us and about 20 guys there from our Sunday School class showed up. Only one guy was short enough to fit in the race car. He hit the gas petal with the 580 HP engine running, it was really something. My thoughts were "engineering at it's best" when I looked under the light weight body. We spent a couple of hours talking and looking at and trying out all the equipment. I even ran a bead from a wire welder making my mark, JK, on a piece of scrap steel.
