Thought I’d share some of my “racing history” Though I’ve never raced “full size” cars, I have done some R/C racing. 1/10 scale sprint cars on dirt ovals. Highlight of my “career”. This a big end of season event in Wisconsin that lasted 3 days. Total entries across 4 different classes was around 150 I think and guys from as far as Georgia were there. My class had like 40ish.
Many feature wins, 2nd for that season.
I used to be part of a pit crew for many years for a good friend. This is as far back as I have photos of.

And after he had his worst wreck ever. Hardest hit he ever took. Other cars wrecked coming out of turn 4 and the track was filled with thick smoke. He was the leader, and was not far behind the wreck. Caution came out and he was still at a decent speed, smoke was so thick he didn’t know where to go, ended up hitting a stopped car head on. Race was technically over before he wrecked and was awarded the win.

Really miss being at the track. Hoping to get back on the crew for the upcoming season. We’ll see.
