    Default Tom's Truck on cover of NOPI 2006 Publication

    If you went to the Drivers Welcome Center (What? Yes there was a driver welcome center) and got your Free Goodie Bag. Inside were cool things like a lanyard and plastic sleeve to put your ticket in, a special edition of Modified Magazine AND a NOPI NATIONLAS 2006 publication which listed things like a list of Team Participations at NOPI but the thing that really jumps out at you is the cover with 2/3's of it being Tom's Lightning!

    Congrats Tom!



    Ah yes how ironic - I will scan it in tonight and post it later. Unless someone is trolling through their bag now and has a scanner handy, then you can beat me to it.

    Sweet Eddie, looking forward to seeing the scan...

    And I cant thank you and your team enough for the positive way everyone handled Gary with his accident this weekend, if you hadn’t been their it would have been far worse bro. It was comforting to hear that everyone supported him with there accident stories ECT… keeping his chin up and mind off of things while I was on my way. I'd also like to thank Pablo, Mike and Kevin (from Matworks) for their help, and special thanks to Johnathon Chase for the quick ride, you all are the best!!!

    Gary has a bruised sternum and shoulder blade from the seat belt (the air bag didn’t deploy) and a minor case of whiplash, were also watching a lung, but right now he is doing well, again thanks guys this meant a lot to me…

    Thanks so much Tiff, he’s doing well thank GOD. I think he was more worried/upset about my reaction to the accident than how hurt he was, he couldn’t have been more wrong. This can go without saying to any parent but I wasn’t upset with the truck being totaled, I was upset that my son was hurt and needed to get to him. To put it in better words (and I’m quoting Petey), we can bondo metal, not people, so on that note I’m extremely grateful that I have my son, everything else is replicable. Give me a ring sweetie; I’d love to know how you and the baby are coming along…

    And Pete, I’m sorry bro I should have included you in the thanks, you’ve always been there for me and my family for this I can’t thank you enough my friend!
