Tom shares his wild journey from dreaming about Rocky Mountain Race Week to living it—10 events in just 2½ years, buying the “Nap Shack” Fox Body sight unseen, wrenching in the pits, and getting surprise help from friends who rebuilt his car behind his back. Plus, we talk about AFCO Racing coming on board, running at Bandimere before it closed, and what’s next for Tom’s race car adventures. If you love drag-and-drive stories, road trips, and grassroots racing, this one’s for you.
