old man has been drag racing since the 60's, used to drag me to island when I was 1 plop me in the playpen, tell me to block out the noise, sometimes give me some tools or something to play with. When I was 16 I started working at his pontiac dealership and I bought a 91 RS camaro that came in on trade and started running the cars. I learned a lot working in the shop, including not wanting to be a machanic, so I went to school for engineering instead. My brother however is between crew chief and driver on a pro mod team. When im at the track and watch him make a 6 second pass it ,makes me wonder sometimes wonder if I made the right choice. Im so bored at work all I find myself doing is surfing the web for car parts. In retrospect I prolly should have done something in the automotive industry. Although I once heard it said that "a hobbie is a lot of work you wouldnt do for a living" My passion for years was playing hockey and softball, after my last three knee surgerys, Im leaning more towards racing now tho...
