In Pit Bits, you had an interesting picture from RCH that caught my attention.
"This will be Richard Matchett's last season as Broc Tickle's mechanic, as he's planning on going to school for mechanical engineering after the end of the season"
Any explanation why? What does he want to do after he graduates? Is this part of a long term strategy by RCH to develop a "Team Engineer?"
I personally understand the mechanic jobs are not as sugar-coated as they seem, but he's at the top! It's not like he's a privateer mechanic scraping by. You see many young men working on an Engineering discipline to try & get a foot into a racing team.
Regardless, my hats off to him for stepping away from an awesome gig to pursue education and better himself.

For most young men of that age, the RCH gig is rock solid. Must have some great ambitions to step away from that for 4-6 years to go through the education and internship process.
