Without Jim Diest, we would not have been able to run B'Ville in 2008.

Tech didn't like our window net, and a normal net won't cover something the size of full sized pickup door.

Jim figured how we could rig a safe net that would pass tech and helped us git-er-dun.

Thanks Jim, and RIP.  :cheers:

A few more of M/T.

That staring line setup in the last shot sure was cool.
Other than wind anyone know why we don't do that any longer?

Mobil paid for it and set it up. In the early 50s we had a banner across the starting line.
