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
