Danny, I think nearly all of us who are fans of racing had a person close to us who primed the pump, so to speak. You and all those folks you thanked probably will be credited by your Grandboy for doing that for him.
A letter printed in the old National Speed Sport News just before Fathers Day many years ago hangs on my office wall to this day and is certainly apropo to me and to many of us, I suspect. Just substitute Granda for Dad.
I wish I had written it and kudos to whoever did.
It goes like this:
Some Dads buy your first car.
Some Dads pay your way through college.
Some Dads even give you the family business.
My Dad didn't do any of those things.
Instead,
My Dad took me to the races.
