A couple of weeks ago I bought the book "Lone Wolf" and I'm enjoying the book.
I kind of just open it to any page and just start reading and laughing and enjoying
it.
Then I shut it and just open it randomly to another page and get another insight....
kind of confusing and bewildering. Sprint car racing isn't all it's cracked up to be,
but the book is insightful. Goin' down the road and living with somebody 24 hours a day for weeks at a time can get old...'real old'...lol!
The best part I liked is that Doug Wolfgang thought he was given a "God Given
Talent" of being able to see everything in 'slow motion' when he was traveling
very fast down the speedway. I thought that was the best part of the book!
I always like to think about what a driver is thinking when he's driving a sprint car.
Been in one, so I kind of know what he's talking about...lol!
I was also kind of intriqued that he said he manufacturers about 18-20 Wolf Weld
Sprint Car Chassis a year.
Anybody buy one? Wasn't sure if they were 4 bars or coil cars? Kind of curious what people think of them.
He did say one of his joys was just helping a kid set one up (Wolf/Weld) chassis
even though the kid bought it second hand. He talked to the kid over the phone.
I guess if you want to put it in perspective, don't ever think you're goin' to "INDY" if you drive a front wheel car, but I guess you might have a chance if your Dad has
a lot of money or if you got some talent or are just Lucky..lol!
