Well after reading the Pinks rules I see I don't have a choice in using a backup driver so I am driving in Pinks but there will be a change in the looks of the car, I just hope for the better.

What are the plans with the rig Jim?

It looks like I will be going to Pinks as a crew chief for a friend of mine with a nova. Looks really close to the old WF nova, but has a 598 under the hood that makes north of 1000hp N/A:yes:

Sorry boys, but my money is on my Canadian brother, Ben.

Yes, George and Chad have been at the track more lately, but I am confident Ben will bring it on.

Ben, it's go time. Time to bring it. :yes:

Hope all is well,

Shoulder surgery was a piece of cake compared to all the other surgeries I have had in the past. My main concern is getting into my one piece fire suit and buckling up my 5 point belt, other than that with a help from people I will and should be able to race.
Mr. Berg, you back yet?

If I could only harness the energy from my vapor trails....... :D

You'll just need a good crew chief to help you out, that's all :thumbsup:

Don't worry about buckling in Jim, there will be more than enough of us around to help out.

I'm thinking it would be a good idea for someone to be at the end of the track should Jim want or need to get out of the car on any of his runs.....just a precaution for his safety. With plenty of people there not running, I'm sure at least one person could be designated to do that.

I'LL be home in about 30 hours, our time. I leave Germany in about 6-7 hours

You're kidding right? If Jim's car catches fire, with as mush GAS as the old fart has in Him, I'm not getting anywhere near him to unbuckle him.:noway:

If you are changing the look of the car...there better still be 1000 skulls on that thing when I see it on Pinks! With that paint job you'll be in there for sure even if you don't make it to the end.

The title had me wondering if Jim was changing the Headhunter once again...

I thought he might be going for what Darryl would call a "self-portrait" theme.

I know it's a '70 but you get the idea....;)

Nope, not kidding. I'm not afraid of a little methane:noway:.....I just haven't shared mine yet:D. A seatbelt cutter/knife would be another idea in the car with him.....
