Personally, I though that Rich ran a perfect grid on both days this
weekend at the Sac Chapter event. I was a driver in the group Rich
worked. He even showed a new person how to run grid and he did an
excellent job showing him how to do it. The multiple driver cars were
mixed in real well both days.
I always knew when my row was up and he always had 2-3 cars at the line.
