"Hi, I'm Dave Darland. What's your name?"

yada yada yada......

"That's cool, well keep after what you want to do."

The Peoples Champ introducing himself to a young American driver at Brisbane last night during driver intros.

These are the stories, and the part of racing, that I like.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Dave does care about the sport and the future of it.
By the way, How did the race end up?

Nathan Smee of NSW's won, followed by Ray, Michael Kendall, Dave Darland, & Brock Dean in the 40 lap main event.

I think just short of 30 cars entered. The other young American (my son) had the engine expire in the first heat after qualifying 5th.

Yay !! Thank you!!
I'm sorry about your son's engine though!
