Re: The newest drag racer gears up!
Long day, but a lot of fun. The carb had issues so we just made runs for seat time. At the end of the first run was this wonderful site, 'hooked'!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: The newest drag racer gears up!
I'll try to post a few more pics when I can.... What an awesome time, love seeing the smile on Benjamin's face! The first words out of his mouth after the first run was "can I go again?" Exactly what every Dad wants to hear, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: The newest drag racer gears up!
After tech, I took Benjamin to the track. We walked the entire length, I showed him each section, each increment, each light, the turns, the ticket booth, and the shutdown/waiting area. He did an excellent job, drove it straight down Broadway on every run, turned properly, and executed each instruction to the 'T'.

Re: The newest drag racer gears up!
Dang Marlin, that is SO COOL!!! Thanks a bunch for sharing the day with all of us. I'm not ashamed to admit it brought a big smile to my face, ..... and a little bit of a lump in my throat.
Great Times Ahead for you and the family. Congratulations! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] |

Isn't it funny how quickly you forget how hard you work at your day job, how much money you spent on the car/gear/expenses, and how many hours spent preparing - just for that sight of an ear-to-ear grin.....
