Re: Team Sparrow

I think I can speak for everyone in the game... WE'RE ALL PULLIN FOR YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!!

With sleep so scarce, it's gotta be hard to take time to read here but I do think that you guys took it wrong. Mike's REALLY appreciated, we're pulling HARD praying it all comes together for him and the guys who he's doin all the work for.

I'd bet that if it were possible in any way shape or form, any of the guys here would take time and go help.. again, if it were possible.

Trouble is, none of us know a merlin finger from a chicken finger and even if we did, we dont' live anywhere near close enough.

Thinking back, I can't remember a year when one single engine builder had such a stake at Reno.. how many engines are we talkin'?? Two for Tiger, one for Button, one (two?) for Danny.... who'd I miss??

That's a LOT of iron pushed down the sleeve!

We're behind you Family Sparrow... even if it gets missed in the mouth to finger translation!

Wayne

Let's face it he is one of the few guys building merlins anymore. The law of average is just going to be higher. On both ends... He has a higher chance of failure, but also has a very good chance of smelling like Dom come september. Press on!

Re: team voodoo

For us it is just nice to have him home once in a while.

C'mon now, admit it... You just want him home so you can roll the ol' boy at yet another game of Uno! What's the score now? Mom 7, Toodles 8, and the Sparrow... 1! Best he sticks to the engine building gig.

Re: team voodoo

Just a short note from the spouse of Sparrow

Maybe working 7 days a week and 10 to 12 hours each day isn't enough for you people. Maybe I should just go out and buy him a bed so that he can sleep down there. I'm sure that he would trade your 40 hour week with his 80.

For us it is just nice to have him home once in a while.

Or maybe you would like to trade my 60 hours there working along side of him so all YOU can sit back and say it just isn't enough. Sorry but flip comments such as this one get my hair up. Nothing seems to be enough to satisfy you people.

Mrs. Sparrow, I'm sorry you took my comment the wrong way. I was trying to indicate support for Sparrow that although things are always busy during this time of year getting ready for the races, at least your husband isn't totally swamped with work since he was able to post here. As an unlimited race crew member for 15 years, I know the work that goes into preparing an aircraft for Reno. Now you multiply that times 5 and you have what Mike is going through right now. I thought this might be a good sign for him that things are looking up for him right now.

I surely didn't mean any disrespect, but total support for your husband's efforts. His efforts are what makes the Races what they are today, the world's fastest motorsports.

My sincere apologies if you took my comments the wrong way.

Re: team voodoo

Mr. Sparrow,

The fact that you make time to come on here at all is appreciated by more than me, I'm quite sure. That being said, I can't imagine anyone else who would want to come out and put on a woopass demo more than you. Everyone knows you've got the skills, but racing, in all it's aspects, requires luck as well. I'd say Lady Luck owes you one.

Mrs. Sparrow,

Thank you for "letting" your hubby do his do. Passion is usually accompanied by sacrifice. It takes a hell of a woman understand, accept and bless her husbands passion at her own sacrifice.

The House of Magnum Mopars is pulling for y'all too. Many is the time we've offered up prayers for inanimate hunks iron and aluminum... the prayers for humans involved are a given, though. Hang in there.

Re: team voodoo

Sparrow,
Who let you out of the shop, what did I tell you about slacking off. Don't make me come down there, and I do not want to hear the "I'm hungry...I'm tired....Blah, Blah, Blah

Get to work!!!

Boy, I can vouch for that!!!

If any in the Sparrow camp still want a piece of me, pm me and I’ll let you know what unlimited pit I’ll be in. But I’ll not be pushing pencils and my hands might be dirty. Please try to be gentle, is all I ask.

And I’ll say it again, “may all the Sparrow motor’s growl with thunder at Reno this year”
