an interesting fact
I build model cars and open wheel car releases as a subject matter are pretty rare. Salvino's Model Car out of North Carolina is offering an all new Indycar model in 1/20th scale Their first release? Kyle Larson!, and he hasn't even raced an Indycar yet! Pretty cool |

55-60 years ago people were asking the same thing about AJ.

I was 26 in 1963, and just returning home from my "tour ",and have to admit to being a Foyt fan, and picking up on my own racing, as it were, we all are not blessed with the funds to pursue our mission in life, but we do with what we have, I admire anyone who can do what they love and be satisfied with their lives, something to be proud of

Larson is so good because the Japanese build better machines.

Larson is good because:
He has good equipment He had good people working for/with him He is smart He has a competitive nature and prepares himself to win He makes few mistakes Frankly I've not seen many who can hit their marks lap after lap like he can. I first saw it at DuQuoin in 2011, lap after lap on a thin cushion inches from the wall. Hit his marks every time. Foyt did that himself and never gets enough credit for it. A.J. was not was wild as some would like you to believe. He was very smooth. I got to watch him in a variety of cars, one of the smoothest in a dirt champ car you would ever see. A simple flick of the wrists entering the corner, nitting his marks lap after lap. |

In any type of competition, some are always better than others. Once in a great while, one comes around who is exceptional.
