As i said before i am a Nascar fan. Some of my dad and my favorite memories come from races. My Dad and i have been to all of the older tracks.
My Dad did not like for me to play baseball and football in school. I played sports until i was 35 and i stopped because i got remarried and i would rather be home. My Dad tried talking me out of playing sports after i got out of the military. I had to promise him i would keep disability insurance on me in case i got hurt. He was worried about me supporting my family.
When i was 14 i raced dirt bikes on a flat track. My Mom did not like me racing dirt bikes so Dad talked her into me racing go-carts. I raced go carts until i turned 16. Then i raced quater midgets until i was 18.
Whenever football or baseball practice would start i would stop racing. I came in third in the points 3 times but i would miss races because of other sports.

The Restrictor plates races are boring for me and the real redneck racers are all gone, guys like Bobby Allison, Dale Sr. and Cale Yarborough.
I raced Flat Track when I was kid too. I raced Motocross and enduro until I got married at 33. I like watching racing but I miss the old days. These new Motocross bikes are no fun to watch or ride. I miss the snarl of a 490 Maico or the howl of a Husky 430 WR. Only girls rode 4 stokes when I was into it[:D]
Once i got going i was ok but starts were hard.
