Friend of Mine found this old picture. That is Me, bottom center blue suit, waiting for drivers meeting to start at local race track.

Nice shot.

One of these days, I need to sit down and scan all the old polaroids I have. Then I can see how much skinnier I use to be.

That's some scary stuff. I want a good roll cage around Me. Seriously almost all tractor operation is precision driving and like every other farm boy I started driving as soon as I could reach the pedals. Dad would pick Me up from elementary school to help him move the truck and combine from one area to another. I hauled My first truck load of grain to the elevator at 11. I seriously believe it made me a better race driver to drive tractors growing up.

If you had turned left (major qualifier for racers) you wouldn"t have missed the Elvis sighting.

Ron, I agree. When we were young and learning, sure, it was fun and exciting, but we also realized that this was serious business. It takes a watchful eye and concentration. We knew that if we messed up it could be serious due to injury or damage to equipment, so we were careful.

Sometimes it was injury due to damage to equipment!
