Good to hear someone helping you NOT break something.
Who is Tommy and what is the significance of him putting on your sponsors shirt?

Tommy is about one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He would give you the shirt off of his back. He is extremely knowledgeable and a workhorse, often working 20 hours a day.

Tommy is one of the few guys you will ever meet that will drive his vette from NJ to Memphis pulling a trailer with his race tires on it.
Race it at Memphis, get himself on TV and in Hot Rod magazine, get the thumbs up from all the other competitors for driving his car instead of towing it and let me tag along.
