I have the same memories as a kid! I always went to the race track with my Aunt and Uncle! My Uncle was a crew member for Leon Thickstun and back then kids weren't always allowed in the pits but I would sneak in the back seat under a blanket or something heck I was only like 5 years old. We always raced at tracks like Paragon, Bloomington, Haubstadt and The Old burg back then. Leon, Bobby Kinser, Steve Kinser, Dick Gaines, Butch Wilkerson, Leon Rose, Calvin Gilstrap and many more were always nice to me and that's why I love racing so much. Sprint car racing is the greatest and its guys like Robert Ballou keeping the tradition alive of being nice to us fan's that makes it all worth while! See ya all out there in 2015!!
