Now that's just a crazy concept. But I like it

Re: Ben Robertson question....
So is Ben back in his shop in Jacksonville SC? All during the 2000 and some of the 2001 APBA season I was a tech inspector and Ben was awesome to deal with. I spoke with Ben and the Miami show last. I have been to Ben's shop in SC before and I go by there on my way to Charleston for business a few times a year.

One thing for sure - - Ben will always be involved with fast boats and racing.
