Charlie,
I've been privileged to know Michael for quite a while. He drove my SS Camaro for a short time as I was recouping from a racing accident.
Without a doubt he is one of the nicest young men I've been around. He is well grounded in his desires and the direction of his life. I've never met his family, but can say they are pretty good parents. It shows in him.
It was a joy to be his Crew Chief. He was like a sheet of Bounty... Soaked up everything! We made some real nice memories that short summer. My wife and I consider him an extended member of our family.
My wife Donna was impressed with him because he made his bed.
I was impressed because he didn't wet it!!
Mama Donna, as he calls her, and I have an open invite to him and Jill to visit any time.
Charlie you ask: "Do you have life other than racing?"
My suggestion is give him your cell phone # and enjoy some conversation with him. From time to time I get to enjoy calls from him as he is traveling the roads to and from races. (ever once in a while he thumps his chest, a little, after a win) I bet it would surprise you what topics are covered in those conversations. Yes, I'm even a little jealous of his ability to work at racing for a living and fulfill his dreams. :~)
