Thanks guys. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers. You guys are my second family, so it means a lot. I come from a close family and we have so many great memories of Dad, so in time, we'll be alright. After the initial shock of all a sudden him being gone, has faded.
Tuesday afternoon my brothers, sisters and I were going through several suitcases of old photos that dad collected and there were many that brought back fond memories. One in particular stood out, to me, in terms of my life as a face fan. It was from 1972, along the fence on the Action Track backstretch. This is the one person responsible for introducing me to racing and I wouldn't be here, on this great, great message board had it not been for my dad's love of sprint and midget racing. It's dad in the middle, my two brothers sitting and me (8 years old) on the right. When someone second guesses having a day race at The Action Track and wants to know one good reason to race in the day, this is one, right here.
