Default John Carter - WOW

I remember a few years ago John was happy running high nines. He's building another new car. Go get em John.

Man, you got a short memory. I remember my 'monster' whipping your Z06 heads up. Looks like you have improved a LITTLE.

I sure would like to see John again. One of his pit crew showed me how to do the 'brothers' handshake and we would park together at E-Town. Remember he always had a carpet to park the car on? Good people in my book.

That sounds like Mike, basically John's right hand man.

Yup...the carpet, the crew fully detailing the car (tire dressing and all) after EVERY pass and the best damn food spread/BBQs I've ever had at a race track. Good people indeed.
