I met up with Dick Trickle at a Target store...he must have been driving the Target car at some point?

When we went up to look at the car on display at the Target store in Orange...I noticed how small the cars look in 'person'...

I went up to Dick and he asked if I wanted an autograph...I politely said no. Then I asked him if that was really his name. He got a bit mad...soooooo, Lynn and I went into the store...end of story.

You should have asked him for a cigarette, he was one of the last smokers in NASCARs top series. Famous for lighting up a butt during the caution periods!

The best tool I know of is by OTC. It has two heavy plates that go between the coil. Then an all thread type center section uses a bearing and a heavy nut to compress the spring. I have never had a safer tool, and I have used many different types. They cost between 3 to 5 hundred dollars depending on vendor...BKH
