Hey PhilHeil, just maybe what you call kids are more grown up than you. At the pro-truck race Saturday night. An official said, kids you are no longer kids now, because you are racing adult machines, so be ready for anything. And, they are right you have grown men that can not handled getting their behinds kicked on the track and are taking swings at minors. Out of a total of 13, 8 of them were quartermidget racers. And, as far as some of us not getting out of them earlier, you know they do have age limits. Go Figure. And, my son is speaking out for himself, because he is tired of this grap and that they kept him from getting to race quartermidgets again. He was going to race his truck and do some quartermidget racing for fun to hang out with his friends. Now, he said he didn't care if he ever raced another one. I am sure that would please some of them out there wanting to win a championship. We have plenty of jackets, if you need one. We are a clean driving family!
You and your kid sound like you are full of yourselves, talking about all your race wins and championships. Now you are giving jackets away....good for you, no one else gives a crap. Good thing they are jackets and not pull-overs because I doubt anyone has produced a pull-over yet that would fit over your big, arrogant heads.
No one at the next levels of racing will give two-turds about your QM championships. It's fun to talk about with all you QM buddies that seem to enjoy kissing your arse, outside of that no one cares.
My son started running a 1200cc upright mini-sprint at the L-Burg Speedway halfway through last season at age 13. He's done pretty well and the older drivers respect him because he is clean and can drive. They don't know, nor do they care about his QM days.
I will miss the friends and the racing at Mini-Indy. Two things I won't miss are the drive from Cincy to Indy and dealing with people like you that think they are bigger then the sport. There are some real good things about getting out of QMs, listening to people blather about how their kid is going to be the next Jeff Gordon is one of them.
Like I said, if you plan on living your life through your kids future you are setting yourself up for a major disappointment.
Regards.....and good riddance!
