HiTech Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) I WONT GET INTO A BATTLE OVER WHO TALKS THE MOST . but one of us is a close second … lol … when I started on speedzone nick was not one of my favorites not even close . .I suppose the nick name could be used .. nick was always on me . he would say your car is fast but not fast enough and I took that as a personal shot . I would see him at the track and wanted to punch him ..lol .. .. I cant say when things changed but I think it was one time wHen he said to me .. said something like man mike I watch you and jessie work hard at what your car can do . I admire the never give up attitude .but the car can be so much faster its amazing someone like you can get a car that good and not understand the finer points to get that tiny extra .. I then realized he wasn't attacking me all those years .he was trying to teach me .. get me to realize he is right .. I really didnt understand those fine details .. why this and why that .. now I wont say I have learned all those fine details . he spent some time at my home pissing me off why is that cage built like that why isnt the old weld not grinded off why is the bolt there and that rivet there and and so on .. . my head hurt just about every time I thought I did something right only to be question about why or something else . after he may have said good job there was always a but right after words .. man what does this man want .. . well I am oldtimer my way and it took some reflection to realize this man is good he is right he does care about poeple even when you are in a battle with him .. his heart is always heading the right direction ..to bad sometimes his demeaner isnt with his heart .. but heck no one is perfect .. we jumped over to dirt in 2017 I never thought that would happen us dirt farmers .. but what I learned from nick helped me and us to take a none dirt racer in an old paved car . stop look listen and use some of those tools he gave me and darn near won a championship not because we won races . not because we were the fastest car with the best driver . but good luck helped A LONG THE WAY BUT MORE IMPORTANT working on set ups where I understood a tiny bet more using what nick taught me .. .. the new car jesse had built last year was junk all year long . we could not find a happy medium at all .lose or push or both .. .. off season we checked some things I learned from nick he mentioned part of one in that interview ,, bottom line is nick does not look for fame . he care less if we say thank you out in public . he wants no glory other than he helped someone move up the latter some more . that is always a win .. .. there really isnt anyway you can show just how much thanks you can give a person . it seems so little .. ……… BUT THANKS JUST THE SAME ..… Edited April 18, 2020 by HiTech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 Somehow, I had a hunch that HiTech wasn't a huge fan of mine over the first several years of our knowing each other. LOL. But over the years we sort of grew on each other, kinda like the mold that gradually grows on a piece of pumpkin pie that sat out too long after Thanksgiving dinner. Gotta admit, though, Mike, you found a soft spot when you posted this time. I checked, and it wasn't April Fool's Day, so I have to assume your thoughts were and are genuine... I am touched more than you know, MIke. NIck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
