Personal Achievement

CRA91 · 10/19/21, 6:25 PM

This past Saturday night in helping J.T Imperial get a ASCS winged feature win at Barona Ca. a friend told me that I had now won at least one race in the past 5 decades now( I had no idea) in the 80's,90's,2000's,2010's and now 2020's.

Now that I'm aware of it I fell very honored and blessed to have been able achieve such a task. I'm just one of the many people or have given their whole life to racing in hopes of fame and glory,some of us are fortunate to achieve something, but a lot work just as hard and are never even heard about. Racing is fickle and thats why I feel fortunate to have had good owners with top notch equipement and great drivers to work with.To them I'm very thankful.

This is something I'm very proud and just wanted to share it with everyone.

Thanks for giving it up for a good cause as long as you have. I have a few pics of Lealand back in the day that I would like to email or text to you. Both pics are from PA in 92 or 93. BTW how is the Tempe Tornado doing?
I have some really fine memories of him.

You SHOULD be very proud. That's an outstanding record.

Send me a personal message and I will give you my e-mail address, Lealand is doing well and enjoying retirement,I've heard that he still gets pretty crazy in his sand rail.
