True, but idk if Scism has won any world championships with CMS?. I remember Gary Stray once said that the two best t-men that Victory Team ever had was Felix Serralles and Khalfan Harab, but i have no idea as to why he ranked these guys ahead of any other t-man that was hired by the Victory Team.

Randy Scism has to be on that list. Jeff Harris might be best all-around racer given his success as a throttleman and driver in both v-bottoms and cats, but IMO Johnny Tomlinson is the best ever given his sustained success with so many different drivers, and his safety record.

3. The World's most amazing T-man.......... Willie Diaz

4. The World's best rough Water Vee T-man.... Bobby Saccenti

5. The world's best rough Water Cat T-man.... Joey Imprescia

6. The World's most handsome T-man..... J.T.

7. The World's smartest T-man..... Jerry Gilbreath

8. The World's most experienced T-man...... Stevie Curtis

9. The World's most innovative T-man...Billy Sirois

10. The World's best mind game T-man......."Smitty" Smith

11. The World's best up and coming T-man...... Gary Ballough

12. The complete package T-man.......... J.T.

13. The "if only he had more time" T-man....... Mark Lavin ( Greatness nipped in the bud)

With apologies to a bunch of people

T2x"

P.S. Being a Team Scarab fan, I'd like to also salute the humble T-man, crew chief, setup man, and visionary engineer, John Connor. Gratefully Lars. D.S.

Man what an impressive record that guy has

Yeah, JT`s record are just unreal. The only guy who could challenge JT in terms of titles won is Steve Curtis.
