Why- Been going to the races (every week) since I was 11 yrs old. I promised myself I would try racing when I could afford it. I owned a body shop at the time and said...it's time, I did it, and have done it until it wasn't fun anymore, but I still won a bunch of races at different tracks, always top 5 in points and Championships to keep as memories. I would still crawl in any type of car now (if coaxed, hehe). I could not imagine being involved with anything else...the people are awesome. :wave:
