My first memory of any racing was Saturday Night thunder on ESPN watching with my Grandpa. I finally got to a race in 2008, I helped Mike King and company with anything I could do (painting the walls, pumping water off the track, etc).

Here is a few things I love about local dirt track racing.

I love watching the little guy from small towns passing, winning, and out driving the guy who shows up in a million dollar rig with one or two back up cars.

I love watching cars slide around turns sideways and take off like a rocket.

I love rooting for the person who shows up with a open trailer.

I love listening to the sound of a 410 sprint car go full throttle.

I don't get to a lot of races a year now for a few good reasons, but will go to as many THAT weekend races I can.
