Introduction & Guest Introduction
00:01:27
Speaker
Welcome everybody to another edition of Speedway Stories on this Thursday night. What's up, Corey? Thanks for being the chat. I have a special guest tonight, Mr. Jason Brammer, four-time Grand National Modified 4WD champ. um He's the owner and driver of Cornfed.
00:01:44
Speaker
Let me bring him up here. you doing, Jason? Thank you for joining me tonight on the show and stuff. appreciate you coming on. Thanks for having me man.
00:01:56
Speaker
So get started with what got you interested in doing the truck and tractor pulling, sir?
Jason's Early Interest in Pulling
00:02:05
Speaker
Oh, when I was a kid, my dad, he pulled antique tractors. And when I was in high school, we pulled farm stock tractors. And there was a lot of local truck pulling going on when I was just senior in high school. We built a super stock truck and there was a lot of,
00:02:22
Speaker
rules and fighting. And my dad said, we need to build a modified truck and we need to go and, uh, run an ITPA, NTPA where there's rules and governing bodies. And so 97, we, uh, bought a truck out of Barnhart, Missouri from Raymond Engelbach called the blue angel.
00:02:40
Speaker
We run that for several years and then we just upgraded along the way to where we are now. So, yeah, i actually have, uh, can't wear it no more, but it's hung hanging out in the closet. One of the original corn fed with the Ford body that had the four time grand national champs, chance on and everything. that I've had that thing for years now. So, but yeah.
Florida Pull Series Experience
00:03:04
Speaker
Um, so to start your season out, I seen you went down to Florida. How'd that, how'd that turn out for you? Oh, we, we went there on that little five pool series in Florida, mid Florida Polars pro polling league.
00:03:18
Speaker
Um, Went to Ocala and we went all three in Ocala. And then um there wasn't a lot of trucks down there. The snowstorm that cut through there, the Carolinas and all that during Ocala.
00:03:31
Speaker
lot of the guys couldn't make it down. So then it wasn't feasible for them to come to Arcadia for the second two. And we we took our hauler down in January, ran through in ah Ocala.
00:03:43
Speaker
Left a hauler at Rodney Swifts, who's the promoter of Mid-Florida Pulling. flew home, then flew back and went down to Arcadia. So we won all five of them. We won the, we won the mid Florida point championship.
00:03:56
Speaker
It was a, it was really nice. When I first bought my truck in the nineties, they were pulling some four wheel drives down that way. and I always thought it' be fun to go down there in the, in the winter time and do that.
00:04:08
Speaker
And when they put four wheel drives in this year, we got knocked that off the bucket list. We got to pull trucks in Florida in January and February. And The weather down there, when I left home to go down there, my truck was gelling up. It was like 20 below.
00:04:20
Speaker
we were down there in Ocala. It was never under 70 degrees for three days down there. So it was it was a nice time down there. So you got to avoid the ah Florida cold snap that they had while you were down there pulling. So it was ah that cold snap came right after we left because ah we were loading and we kind of had seen it. And we went ahead and drained all the water out of everything because we were worried about how cold it was going to get. And um they said oh it's florida it won't get that cold and it got really cold down there right after we left really yeah there's some of the youtube channel guys i follow that are i'm into reptiles and stuff as well and uh seeing where they were posting moving all their outdoor animals into their like garages and in the house and because it was got so cold down there yeah yeah it was uh it got pretty cold down there we went back to arcadia in uh middle of february and
00:05:13
Speaker
it was 87 degrees down there. but by the time we got home, 21 hours home from Arcadia, which is down there Southeast of Tampa. yeah And 21 hours home, by the time we got home, it was like four degrees or something.
Future Plans & Family Legacy
00:05:25
Speaker
So we got a little shock to our system.
00:05:28
Speaker
So um tell me a little bit about the truck setup. What size motor and everything you guys, isn't it right, the NTPA in your class, it's an ah is it a cubic inch limit or you guys can can you run the unlimited cubic inch in that class? at When we run the end, we run 650s because we like to run NTPA and the pro point league.
00:05:50
Speaker
With NTPA, it's a 650 cubic inch limit, five inch bore space limit. Mike Murphy, When the pro point least that it's unlimited unlimited cubic inch and I believe there's still five inch workspace but it's a it's unlimited cubic inch so.
00:06:04
Speaker
Mike Murphy, we were run with both of them, and I mean. Mike If you catch the six the big motors are hard to run with on a girl good track, but if you get them on a driver's driving track, you can still keep up with them.
00:06:16
Speaker
yeah i see i see that a lot here with the ostpa because in their super modified class my friends was quite a bit of the drivers they've got the unlimited cubic inch deal for naturally aspirated and and it's interesting to see the difference between you know all the sanctioning bodies of the different rules because i follow follow them all and a lot of pullers And yeah, I just didn't know if you guys had the way your class was done. Do you ever plan on, plan on chasing that grand national title again ever before you hang it up again? We we have plans.
00:06:51
Speaker
We have plans to do it someday right now with the trade war and the fuel prices and the farming, farming isn't very good right now.
00:07:02
Speaker
We ain't made much money in a few years. It's just not financially feasible for us to run the whole circle right now we'd like to do it we got the truck back after you know was gone we sold it when my dad passed away and had to buy some farm ground but. um We we'd love to do it again, but we we're not going to go in the poorhouse to do it so until we can afford to do it we're going to just run when we want to and have fun, you know.
00:07:27
Speaker
So now my next, that's awesome. And that's, I mean, that's what matters, man, especially with what you said coming up through the ranks as a family, you know, being in the heaviest motor sports there is on wheels, you know, and that was my first passion has gotten me hooked on motor sports was truck and tractor pulling when i was a little kid.
00:07:44
Speaker
um right My other question is, so what's it like operating a sled being behind the behind the pulling vehicles, actually being in control of the sled?
Sled Operation vs. Driving Vehicles
00:07:55
Speaker
How much of a difference is that? It took me about three years to run the sled not to try to drive the steering wheel of the sled when they started to go out of bounds or it's a it's different it's it's a fun ride. But you've got your back along for the ride and until they go out of bounds or do something really bad you're you're just along for the ride but yeah anytime somebody start getting close to the sidelines for about two or three years there I would start steering trying to steer the sled with them and you know it didn't really work that good, but I mean it's just reaction to try to help them I guess.
00:08:27
Speaker
and ah yeah it's yeah I mean, you're you're doing it from a driver's aspect of it and everything else, you know? that So, I mean, that has to be cool that you you've got to experience both sides of the aspect of the asster the truck and tractor pulling. so and And the sled game's a lot like the pulling game.
00:08:46
Speaker
You have to read the track, make the adjustments for a hard track, a wet track, a soft track. it's It's just every much bit as much of a challenge. to do a good job around that and understanding your dirt and what you're running.
00:08:59
Speaker
And the only thing different about a sled is no matter what, you get check at the end of the where yeah If you don't pull good, you don't get a check. you know you Right. Yeah, that's ah that's the only difference. But if you had to choose within the last 15 years, say, without the break in between the pooling and everything else,
00:09:20
Speaker
What would you do, be more interested in doing, being a sled operator or keep doing what you're doing where you're doing a split deal where you're also the pulling pulling your own truck and stuff? if If farming was good right now, I would probably, I'd probably take a couple years off, take a break from running the sled and go run that Grand National deal. i got I've got some nephews that are getting to the age where they want to start driving a truck.
00:09:49
Speaker
I'd like to get them boys out there and run it one year real hard, let them drive on the regionals. And then if I could win one more, I'd probably let the boys take over driving and then I'd go sit in a sled for a while.
00:10:02
Speaker
That's awesome. Especially you got got family you can pass it down to. Correct. If it's in the cards this year, do you plan on making a trip to Ohio for Bowling Green in August?
Memories from Bowling Green
00:10:14
Speaker
I have not seen my sled schedule yet. I haven't been over there yet to pick it up. We've been trying to put on at Hydros. um I think that there's a good chance that truck will be there and there might be a chance I could be there for one day, but if not, my buddy, Kim Eddington, he will be there to drive it. And actually, i don't know if I'm supposed to, there's a chance there could be two trucks in the trailer out there that sure he's looking to get one. I don't know if I should release that information, but I mean,
00:10:45
Speaker
he's looking to He's looking to have one. There could be two trucks out there. He may be driving in bolts or I could be out there. Sometimes during Bowling Green, our sled schedule has been open enough I could make it, but I don't know. All the fares rolled this year. it was the year they rolled.
00:10:59
Speaker
So yeah everything's up for grabs this year. I need to get over there. I actually was just talking to him today about getting together if it rained us out tonight and getting all the schedules together and see who's driving where and who's doing what.
00:11:10
Speaker
i'd be cool i'd be cool to catch because this will actually be the first year i'm actually taking my whole family up to bowling green i've been up with some buddies is special special place to a guy like me bowling green coma chapel hill those places were awful good to me over the years and it's just as soon as you pull on the fairgrounds you just a lot of great memories there i got i got to go one year got lucky uh one of your fellow competitors from back in the day, Mr. Jeff Schaefer, right here from my hometown.
00:11:40
Speaker
yeah um I got to go up and watch him with his win, lose, and draw one year. He got me in up there and stuff. I got to go watch him and everything else. There's nothing.
00:11:52
Speaker
i've been I finally went first time of that, and I got to go to Louisville, the indoor, but I'll take Bowling Green experience any day over the week than the National Farm Machinery Show.
00:12:03
Speaker
I love Bowling Green. Bowling Green is just a great, great, great atmosphere. And it same Chapel Hill, Tomo, there's just, I mean, but there's just so much at at Bowling Green for everybody. I mean, there's pulling, pulling, pulling. If you just want to in the campground, drink beer and party, you can do that.
00:12:23
Speaker
I mean, it's just a good event, you know. They say bring, they they have always said bring your beer goggles while you're while you're there to chuck a tractor pool for the weekend. yeah That's pretty much what it is. I've seen weddings in the campground. I've seen people passed out. I've seen people win. You've pretty much seen it all. i've seen I've seen a lot in Bowling Green.
00:12:44
Speaker
yeah just It's just got a lot of good memories from Bowling Green and a lot of them Grand National Bulls. So, pooling at Bowling Green, you how many did you ever get get a ring while you were at Bowling Green?
00:13:00
Speaker
Oh, We missed the ring twice out there. Three times. We were in the running for it. We never did get the ring. We've won out there. We've been consistent out there. My favorite story about the ring, we were we we were we broke a front end on Friday and we were coming back for Saturday and Craig Sage went back to SCS and got us all the parts we needed to fix it and there was a problem with The front end was, it was, it there was problems, but we were trying to get through the weekend.
00:13:34
Speaker
We got it bowled back together and we went out there and we made the pull off and we broke both front axles. I had some stock, stock axles and we went back to the trailer and there were still 22 trucks to run. And I'm like, let's pull them stock axles in. And I had Nick McCormick from Pro Stock Tractors. I grew up with him.
00:13:54
Speaker
He says, don't you tell anybody I'm helping you work on a four-wheel drive truck, but what do you need? I don't know. Get the brakes off. You know how do that. And he was, we were working and we slammed that back together and we come back and we, we won the pull off. And, uh, that was, that was a, but I think that must've been the Friday night, but there was one, one time this is, you know, battled with Peyton Davis, the punisher and his dad oh yeah and all that for years. And,
00:14:21
Speaker
you know On the track, me and Terry and Peyton, we were all about winning. but We'd sit down, drink beer, and eat supper together. and we We had a lot of good times together. but ah I remember the one time I needed Peyton to win, i missed the pull-off. It was that top three past 300 when NTBA was doing that.
00:14:39
Speaker
right Graham Young and Peyton and I think Kate Goonsman were in the pull-off. I got bumped. and I needed I needed Peyton to beat Graham Young to get me the ring and Graham got him. I said, damn it, Peyton. One time was cheering you. I had a big old foam finger cheering for you and you got me. Yeah, that, your guys is class. i mean, i follow a lot of them and stuff and, uh,
00:15:13
Speaker
If I'm not at my local, you know, going to my local pools here and stuff, I've been following along along with with you over the years, and especially now that you're back into it, you know, as much as you've been posting stay posting. I've really been following the Radical Pooling team.
00:15:31
Speaker
yeah yeah That family is, they're amazing people. oh i got to meet yeah I got to meet them one year at at the National Farm Machinery Show. they opened their They opened themselves up like and to everybody, all the fans, everything. like You're part of the family with them when we were down there and stuff. It was amazing. you know That whole Versailles Kentucky clan, Galen and Graham and Steve Clem and all them guys, they're they're blocked their shops are only like three or four blocks apart. and I've known them guys since the ninety s when I started pulling. in
00:16:03
Speaker
you know Steve's got the the modified truck and they run that blower that long wheelbase blower truck. They're winning with both of them. They've they got a good program, and they do all the wrenching themselves, build their own motors. they They do a hell of a good job. They're hard to beat.
00:16:18
Speaker
Yeah, that's – well, and I mean, that and – I got big question
Thoughts on IHRA & Pulling Leagues
00:16:26
Speaker
for you. What do you think about IHRA coming in with the pro pooling league this year?
00:16:31
Speaker
I think that's – I think that's solid. I think that's – Mike They're gonna i wish we' had got on the high stakes deals before drives I think that's going to bring a lot a lot of attention to the sport of truck and tractor pulling and. Mike Murphy, Right now there's a so much good things going on with ntpa and full pole and they're they're they're picking up a lot of events and I hra is doing their thing there is just a lot of good things going on with truck and tractor pulling right now.
00:17:00
Speaker
That's just like with the drag racing, too. It's with them coming in. theyve So far, though their season's kicked off. I'm looking forward to the IHR idea. We get two of those high stake pools here in Ohio. yeah and i got They're right in my backyard that I can go to and check them out when when they happen. so No, there's just a lot of good things going on i wish that we were financially able to run harder and make more of that kind of stuff.
00:17:26
Speaker
because there's just a lot of good things with NTPA and Pro Point League and IHRA, you know, with IHRA and the high stakes deal. And, you know NTPA has got a bunch of new polls with Evansville. And there's just a lot of good things going on right now.
00:17:40
Speaker
They had old Cletus McFarlane driving in Florida. That was sweet. i could love I love that. And he did a good job. I was skeptical about that Florida saying, and I was hoping he'd do all right. i don't know the guy.
00:17:51
Speaker
but you know it never be on one and he he did all right you know he did a good job for never being on one got got top five i mean you can't yeah yeah you're running against some pretty tough tractors i don't know i've drove a lot of stuff i don't know if i could have done that good but yeah but i think like i watched his version of the video because i follow him he even admitted when he goes if i wouldn't have gunned it there and got it hopping off the starting line like they said he goes i could have probably been a top three if it wasn't yeah yeah he got a little go get a little aggressive but first pass never driving ain't never been hooked to a sled before i mean yeah yeah he drives a lot of high power stuff you gotta give him credit you know if you to put i've drove a pulling truck for years you put me in a nascar
00:18:38
Speaker
I'm going look a lot worse than he did on pulling tractor. I'll tell you that. Oh, me and you both. I'll be honest with you. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot more to it. Them guys, my uncle drove dirt late miles and he always talked about what NASCAR guys would come and he's in the hall of fame.
Track Conditions & Class Preferences
00:18:52
Speaker
And he would talk about how them NASCAR guys are so used to speed because they're Daytona running so fast. They can drive anything because they're so used to going so fast.
00:19:02
Speaker
And I think that's probably Cletus is so used to going. so fast on a drag car it's so slowed down even though there's horsepower that's probably why he could adapt so quickly you know yeah and like i mean and the cool thing with the truck and tractor pulling aspect is main thing of it is is majority your stuff's all hit the your throttles right there basically on the joystick as i call it it's right there on your on a handle for you guys and all your setups on everything so Yep. No, it all happens in about the first 100 feet driving four-wheel drive truck. If you make the first 100 feet worth where it's all won and lost at.
00:19:41
Speaker
So when you guys are – when I see a bunch of them out with the po what I call the poke sticks, are you checking for the density of the track, like the hardness and softness? Yeah, just four-wheel drives don't like a soft track. Like, it's so weird to me. We ran with the diesel Supers for years, and if the diesel Supers – like, it seems like when we were running for points,
00:20:03
Speaker
you know Jim Shandorf had his diesel Supra. All them guys will be running with our crew. We were seem to be at a lot of the same events. If they come back and said the track was awful, it was too hard for them to get a hold it. The four-wheel drivers loved it.
00:20:15
Speaker
Now, if we if we liked it, they hate yo know they hated it, you know vice versa. But we like to find a nice hard spot to get a hold of. you know That's what we're looking. we don't want We don't want to sink in much. We want to find a hard spot.
00:20:28
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I was always wondering because I've noticed that a lot of it be paying attention being on the starting line with the guys that I know and everything else and seeing them, and I've never never actually asked them, and I didn't know if you – like, is it different for every class?
00:20:45
Speaker
You know, like for, say, the mods and stuff? I think big tires like a softer track. They've got be able to get into it a little bit, and little tires like to have a little harder track. But, yeah, I mean – As far as I know, I just i just kind of knew, like, I can remember Jimmy Shandorf coming back and saying, track's awful, and then the four-wheel drives, we just loved it.
00:21:05
Speaker
You it's just different. Guys are out there eating it. Guys out there eating up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We kind of learned, like, don't take too much to what... not Not taking anything away from Don't take too much about what they say because they're just so much different between diesel supers and four-wheel drives, you know?
00:21:21
Speaker
Right. Yeah, they're... And then I know there for a while, too, it was... It was kind of neat to see, you know, you had your super stock diesels competing, you know, with you guys And hu here we had in the OSTPA before they split them off, where they were keep competing with the blower trucks. And it's like, it's diesel. It was like the battle of the diesel and the blowers. It was it was always something to see ah up for for a while while they were doing that. And now they got their own classes.
00:21:52
Speaker
I can remember going down to... Bob, or, um, Georgetown, Ohio, Bob Neal's pool down there in the fall. Um, I don't know what year it would have been, but we ran the open class was, there was a break for the modified four wheel drives, the alcohol blower trucks and the, we all run together and they had a pretty good, we got this much weight, they got this much. And it was actually a pretty good, uh, pretty good combination, but you know, now they've got enough trucks, they can just have their own class. I mean,
00:22:23
Speaker
That diesel super stock truck class down in Florida had 10 or 11, 12, I think they had. Really? plenty up down there Wow. their Their numbers, there's quite a few new trucks out there that I hadn't seen before.
00:22:36
Speaker
But yeah, I've always, I've always, i've I've always, I don't want to build one, but I'd kind of like to drive one of them one time just to see how much difference there is between a diesel super stock truck and a modified four wheel drive. Right.
00:22:49
Speaker
Yeah, be it'd be I think it'd be pretty cool. I'd i'd love it. yeah but Before I talk pass away, I'd love to take the seat in and either one of the four-wheel drives, the Superstock, Diesel, Mod, or the Blowers. before But yeah, it's definitely a different game, man, when you get those three different combinations together, what they can do with it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. yep No, it's it's it they did a good job with that when they were doing that. and I mean,
00:23:17
Speaker
Steve Barker, he built my chassis. So, I mean, I good on steve never drove i um never drove a blower truck, but he makes look pretty easy, but he's done a long time and he's a damn good driver. Yeah.
00:23:30
Speaker
Between him and Dave and Evan Pierce, the stormer and stuff, that yeah call all that whole group, that whole super mod group over here. So it's really tightknit night tight knit, tight knit family.
00:23:43
Speaker
So, yep. Yep. it That way, pretty much every, I, I've only met about all the places I pulled forward drive trucks. I won't say who they are, but only know about two people that are, that are, I don't stand off let's put that way that i don't get along with, let's put it that way. Gotcha.
00:24:01
Speaker
But yeah. i don't know So this year, like you said, and I know with the financial stuff and everything, what, but beside how many NTPA pulls do you guys, you're from Illinois, correct?
Upcoming NTPA Events & Sponsors
00:24:14
Speaker
Correct. Correct. How many NTPA polls usually come in in your region for your region, regional pools and stuff? Just, ah just, just basically sandwich Illinois. Okay.
00:24:25
Speaker
There'll be some Indiana regional nationals in Indiana and a Michigan we'll hit. We'll be in door Michigan. i know we'll be in door Michigan. We'll be in sandwich Illinois. going to try to make Bowling green.
00:24:37
Speaker
um i don't know. I think Boswell is running four wheel drives with NTPA this year. Try to make that one Boswell, Indiana. But I know we're going off the schedule. We got the Polar's championship, which is a pro pulling league, not for points, but ah that invitation fans voted deal.
00:24:56
Speaker
We're down there May 15th and 16th. And then we'll go. We're going to try to make that Goshen, Indiana and Joliet, Illinois run for pro pulling league. Nice. Yeah. That the Goshen, Indiana, I'm watching the pro pulling league.
00:25:10
Speaker
I always seems that there are two hooks that they have every year, the like summer pool, and then they're close out the fall, man. They don't seem to draw in the pullers just for what they have out there. I mean, it's freaking amazing on YouTube.
00:25:24
Speaker
Goshen, Indiana, draw some of the most fans I've ever seen anywhere. They pull their all day long farm stocks and they just, The track is kind of sandy and I'm kind of excited about getting the unlimited cubic inch motors on that with these 650s and be able to drive to drive with them where they can't use their horsepower.
00:25:42
Speaker
So anyway. so how is it about this summer So how was the track set up in Ocala? Was it sand and dirt mixture down there? as you guys were pulling on? or Ocala is about 250 feet to the dirt pile and it's like inside a rodeo arena.
00:26:01
Speaker
And it is a really red, it's a red sand, but Rodney and his crew, home and dirt, and they do a lot of excavation. Kevin Standridge, them guys, they've been working on that track for a long time.
00:26:16
Speaker
And, you know, in the Illinois, we get on a sand track, the first track wins, they can't get packed back together. I will say that's a sandy track, but those guys know their dirt down there well enough.
00:26:26
Speaker
It is is consistent when the first track runs as the last track runs. They get it packed back together. they They've learned over the years around down there, they've got, and they they did the same thing in Arcadia, Dan Nearpath that ran the sled for years.
00:26:40
Speaker
He was building a track and they got that thing packed together. It's consistent. It's sandy. it's I never got over 55% throttle the whole time we were down there, um just trying to keep the tires under but it's consistent.
00:26:55
Speaker
It's not the greatest dirt, but it was fun to drive on. To me, if I feel like if you got the throttle wide open at 80 feet, anybody can win. If you got to pedal that thing all the way down through there, that's when that's what it makes it interesting me.
00:27:08
Speaker
Makes it where you guys where everybody's got to work for it a little bit more than. put the driver's Put it in the driver's hands a little bit. you know Don't make it who's got the most horsepower. so that That makes it competitive too. i mean that yeah it keeps It keeps your class kind of kind of tight right there on the group and everything.
00:27:28
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yep, definitely. Definitely. What is what is one of your dream pulls that you you you would love to go to? What would be one of your most famous hooks that you would like to try? Sounds like you've almost hit every one of them that most people would want to go to.
00:27:45
Speaker
i don't know if we haven't been. I don't think we've, you know, not taken it. I don't think we've ever pulled in Rockwell, Iowa. That's a heck of a big pull. Um, it's a good poll. I haven't been there. Maybe Farley, Iowa. I haven't been to that one.
00:28:00
Speaker
Um, but as far as the rest of them, I've been to them. I'd probably say I like to knock Farley, Iowa off the bucket list. That'd be a good one. I know the Simons do a good job out there. So, I mean, yeah, I'd say, I'd say, I'd say Farley, Iowa probably be the biggest one that we haven't been to.
00:28:15
Speaker
that i've I've been following that. Uh, got nods. I must subscribe to the full poll deal. Um, got to watch it for the first time last year other than than just seeing clips from there that place is as packed as tomahoe and bowling green when it comes to oh yeah pulling vehicles up there for all the classes last year they were pulling for 50 000 to win there they were pulling every classroom for 50 000 to win that was the heck first the biggest purse ever now that's it's a member there well i think they're part of the high state they are part of the high stakes deal i think brandon and rj have a lot to do with that so
00:28:50
Speaker
They didn't put the four-wheel drives in this year. Maybe next year we'll get involved in that. We'll get the chance to go out there. That was the only thing I was just kind of disappointed about because that's actually my favorite class. And I looked and seen what classes. I'm like, well, at least I got the diesel, guys. I get to see Shane Kellogg and, oh you know, Stacy and all those guys come pulling and stuff. so It's the first year for it. They got to get it growing and see how it goes. Maybe next year they'll add us. You know, if not, well, you know, it's it's part of pulling. Sometimes you get to go places. Sometimes you don't. Right.
00:29:21
Speaker
Yeah. Yep. so So you got any, need us you got any sponsors or anything you want to shout out besides your own pocket? Oh, well, yeah, we've got hotshot secrets. They, uh, when we got the truck back, they got on board. They supply all of our oil needs, everything we need for the hauler, the pulling truck, everything.
00:29:40
Speaker
And, uh, they're, they're good. And, uh, we got editing and record service. They're always helping us out. Dick pots, auto parts, uh, Remax executives in Goodland, Indiana. I'm trying to think of them. for Heinz Automotive, they've been on board since day one back in the 90s.
00:29:58
Speaker
They're the guys that, behind they're the behind the scenes guys. When we used to come in broke in the middle of night with no sleep, they'd we'd pull the truck in their shop and they'd start wrenching while we took a nap. I mean, those guys have been helping for a hundred years. That's some loyal people right there, man. That is awesome. I don't know how many times I've called them and said, I'm going to rolling at four o'clock. We've got to be on the track at six. We got knocked out rear end and They'll have the parts laid out and everything ready when we get there and take a nap. You gotta to get on the road in a couple hours, you know? So they've they've always been there to help us. So I'm trying to think if I'm forgetting anybody, I'm probably forgetting somebody. We got a lot of people to help us.
00:30:32
Speaker
So. That's awesome, man. um Good luck. I appreciate you coming
