I must post something I've had framed and hanging on my office wall for at least a couple of decades. I embellished this from a fellow who wrote in to the old National Speed Sport News in the days leading up to Father's Day and NSSN published the letter and it spoke volumes of how him taking me to the races was a bonding mechanism that exists to this day in spite of the fact that Dad left us way back in late 2005. I really wish I could take credit for authoring this but I can't. It exemplifies my gratitude to my Dad for my lifelong love of motorsports and many other things he influenced in my life. It's a safe bet this describes Father-son/daughter relationships of many of us here.



It goes like this:



Some Dad's buy your first car,

Some Dad's pay your way through college,

Some Dad's even give you the family business,

My Dad didn't do any of those things,

Instead,

MY DAD TOOK ME TO THE RACES


Happy Father's Day to all Father's everywhere.
