Frank, I'm VERY impressed. That's just great sportsmanship!
I think we often forget that this is just a hobby and take this stuff way too seriously. It's always nice to win, but, in my book, an act like that speaks volumes of a person who'd offer another driver his own car. Way to go!
There ought to be some sort of recognition at the annual banquet for "above and beyond" behavior.

That's fantastic. I'm relatively new to the series so I wasn't aware. It's just good to hear stories like that.

While we are hijacking the thread to honor Mojo, he was even nice enough to go to pick up our 11 packages of Zaino and delivered it to the track for me.
Thanks Mojo
Thanks Mojo

I just spoke to Chris on the phone.... poor Bastid 
if he didn't have BAD luck he would have NO luck..
He broke the spindle, & won $250 at the track.. but has to pay for repairing the broken spindle... ok we can live with that... but tonight when he gets home he's rolling his car off the trailer & the wheel bearing was broken too & the wheel slipped off, the whole weight of the car landed on the tire.. with the weight on the rear 1/4 panel which broke off.... I haven't seen it & dont know how bad the body damage is..
