So my kid goes up to the guys and asks if they need a vacuum pump for fixing the glass. What they needed was a 3/8" thick 5056 aluminum flap part 36" wide cut out, bent, and welded. So he offers to make it. He drove back to Baroda, opened the shop, made the part. He's heading back to Michigan City now to bring it to them now. That's cool, my 21 year old kid is helping Miss Geico run tomorrow. BTW - if anybody needs an awesome fabricator, my kid is a perfectionist. He likes making one-off pieces. Hopefully somebody from Geico will give him a plug here. He really wants to get into High Performance racing in a big way. Great to hear that there are still good people out there, willing to go the extra mile to help someone out and to make sure that Miss Geico can race tomorrow and put another great show on for all the race fans who have come to watch her and all the others race. I hope he gets some business/recognition for his efforts and there is always a need for talented and most importantly good people in the High Performance Industry. |
I met Waybomb's kid.....very very tallented machinist/fabricator and have seen some of the stuff he has made....and he's only 21 years old!!!

I was talking with Randy Scism and asked if he had people there to fix the Geico boat. He looked at me and said what happened?..........:eek:

Are they Sean? I have seen them test the Mystic but all the race shots I saw this season had still the MTI most of the time.
Sarasota was scheduled to be the last race for the MTI. If they want to keep up with the other Mystics, they are gonna have to run theirs. |
