Wonderful story.

There is something very pure about local short track racing, that certainly comes through in your writing. When people are racing the bumblebee cars worth hundreds instead of thousands, they go for the win every time.

I wonder, what is the scene like at flat-rock for the “big-boys” of the late-model class? Will you be taking a step upward in class in the future?

Storytelling at its finest. The Ford Tempo that could. brilliant!

btw that little boy you disappointed, the very day he gets his drivers license, he will find you, and he will spin you out. You could be in an Arca race, or at LeMons, or autocrossing, or even on your way to get your fancy custom shoes, but you will be spun out. I can assure you that.
