Always enjoyed listening to the racing stories and their personal views about the changes that have transpired from some of the older guys such as Pete Kost, Vic Hobbs, Jim Waldo, Don Wann and Dave Wren.

My father was a racer and took me to my first race in 1966. Been hooked ever since. Wow, I guess I'll be starting my 47th season in 2013 !
