I feel all the above post make really good points. I was like most of you as far as going racing with a parent, and during high school I wasn't there a lot but went a couple times a year I think most younger people would rather go to their schools games and such. When I was growing up most race cars were at garages so you could at least see the cars, Stadium Motors 00 was bout 3 blocks away and when they fired the car up it was like a magic sound to me as I went there with a couple of friends, my friends would stay bout 5 minutes but I was there for hours or till they told me to go home lol I"d talk with dad about going to Haubstadt and we"d cheer old 00 on and it won a lot of races. My dad always asked me if I wanted a buddy to go with us and more often than not they wern"t interested but next day they wanted to know how 00 did. I became hooked and was ready to go with dad and his buddies when they started going to USAC races. I guess what I"M trying to say is that now days younger people have so many things to chose from that unless they were brought up going most won"t. So next year if you younger guys see a heavy set guy with a walker stop me and say Hi
