I am nominating David Love for Sportsman of the Weekend - Round 2
David and the rest of the Love gang showed up Saturday morning with their racecar disassembled. Some of the engine still needing buttoned up and the tranny was not installed.
He spend most of Saturday putting it back together at the track.
I asked him early on Saturday what he was doing, he told me "I would have worked on the car all day anyway, why not do it at the track with all the guys!" Wow, that is dedication to the group! Awesome!
He got the car together and was able to get some track time.
During the 40 minute race his clutch started slipping around lap 15. He decided to pull in and not mess up anyone else on track with a racecar that was slightly wounded. He pulled into the hot pits, after sitting there for a little an official came over to ask him what he was doing. He asked them to let him know when there was a couple minutes left in the race, because he wanted to take the checkered flag.
He went out with 2 laps to go and took the checkered flag!!!
David, I toast you for your great sportsmanship and dedication to the group! You and your attitude are one of the reason I love this group of guys and keep coming back weekend after weekend!
Way to go!
DD
I'm sure there is more to the story, but that is all I have.
