Good luck Jim and keep working hard, you know it will pay off, your'e driving is still top notch so the problem has to be in the setup, We are rooting for you!!!

Hey Jim,
Keep kicking that door, it will open for you again!!

You do show the difficulties of keeping life balanced between the rigors of racing and keeping a family together!!

To all on the Mater, my 1st post here was a sideways kick in the shins at Jim, he did not deserve my attempt at making light of him having a nice boat and looking for sponsor money, I have since made an amends to him, and he was very gracious at accepting it, (even though I had some harsh words coming to me).

I wanted to clear that matter up, publicly.

Good luck Jim!!!

PS, that boat still needs a bait tank!!

I have had the opportunity to rub shoulders with the Yates family while they were testing out at Speedworld and can attest to the fact that they are great people just as many are in racing. I would like to openly thank them for being the people that we as fans can feel good about supporting. Good luck.

P.S. Jim, can you thank Toni for being my personal receptionist while my phone was in your trailer? Thanks.

Darrell;

It is easy for people to get along, if they communicate with one another and are willing to accept each others point of view. They may not agree, however they still respect each other when the debate is over and the smoke has cleared. I enjoyed the talk we had in Pomona and your point of view. As for the boat...... I have not seen it in soo-long, it may actually be a "BAIT TANK" . We are hoping to stop by and see it for a few days while in Florida for the Gators, but it depends on how we run and how much more we have to test before Houston. Keep pulling for us, we can use your thoughts and prayers.



Jim

Thanks for stopping by Jim! It was good to hear from you. Good luck in Gainesville and we'll see ya' in Houston.....that is if the wife can hold out one more weekend......third boy due April 2nd........

Thanks for posting on the Mater, Jim. I know you prefer to be out on the track on Sundays, but I must say you do an excellent job in the tower with Mr. Frey.
