That is a really good question. I have been in and around racing of some sort all of my life. Seems like all of my Uncles were serious car guys. I was part of it from my 1st memory's.
Most all of my friends are involved in racing at a professional level and I was lucky enough to get involved through them. Dedicated weekend warrior on some really serious teams in a great period for racing. I could have went full time involvement but I really liked having a normal (
) life to escape to and be with my family. Involvement at those levels tends to make family 2nd....racing 1st. I liked my family. Running my 2 car team was a lifes dream for me. My son drove the fast car (Camaro) and I drove the slower street/race car. Good times. Damned expensive times.
Wifes job went south on late 06. She never really rebounded as the market (Housing) crashed. I kept us racing for about 2 more years and life just changed. It was time financially and age wise to let it go. I did.
I have projects I am doing for others and a really neat project for myself going so I am still in the mix. Turning 67 this coming March. That has a bit to do with it as well.
This is why beaters are fun!
I'm trying not to overdue it. You know I don't want the car to stand out too much.
