The weather’s going to be really good, and we’re looking to get off to a good start. We feel that we were just one run behind at the last race at MIR, and Epping has always been a good race for us. We’re looking for some great things to happen, and looking forward to getting this Matco Tools FVP Worldwide Technologies Hangsterfer’s Top Fuel Car in that winner’s circle real soon. I think this could be our breakout weekend, so we’re going to keep our heads down, keep the grind on, and here we come. We never quit, we never give up, just like our partner, Scouting America. “We’ll have a lot of our Matco Tools distributors coming out in numbers, full and proud. We’ve even got a bus trip from ‘Wild Bill’ and his crew.”
