Alan is the first weatherman I have seen that can give you the weather forecast but also explain it to you in a way that you can understand. Everyone else just says it will be hot and windy or cold and wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE has some of his dads traits where he explains things where most folks can understand . back during harvey you could see he was more personable with out being a clown like the last one who retired . almost like you could see the worry in his face as he pointed out issues in a calm way . ..he reminds and or reminded me of charley saint john whom i learned alot from growing up on how to read the weather in which i still use today .sort of .. alan and nick were bringing the ranger over one day for me to look at shifter issue i think . they were late so i called found they were eating a burger instead of being on time smartly not inviting me . a ugly looking rain cloud was just right at the edge of my street not looking good . i had nick ask alan after i warned him about the cloud .alan came back with it wont hit your house and in ten minutes it will be gone ... he hit it on the nail .. i knew we had a good one ..big different between a meteorologist over a want to be we have and had have in this city ..

NickHolt Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 As a kid he always had an intense interest in weather and the environment. As an adult, he has retained that trait and has never stopped learning all he can about how weather works. But more than that, he has made it a point to find ways to explain what he has learned to others in words and illustrations that people can understand and relate to. I guess he kinda took after me in a way. I learned all I could about traditional (old school) racing suspension engineering and tried to share that very technical stuff with others in non-engineering terms and illustrations. Some people get it. Some don't. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm sorry, Reb, but I only help set up LTA chassis if they purchase them from me. It's obvious from the messed-up geometry on this chassis that someone needs to go to my suspension seminar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted March 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 LOOKS like someone didnt find the level on that floor to start with .. so no matter what that chassis is not going to work . going to have an issue with tire pressure to boot .. . i think that is just about how far reb has gotten in how many years of speedzone ..
