Have i created a monster

SCOTT SST2871 · 04-26-2010, 10:44 AM

My buddy billy blanton bought a jr dragster and he wanted my boy to drive it,he has never sat in one before{hes 10 years old}.we took him to orlando friday night after a couple driveway blasts.i told him 1 time how to stage and he pre staged and bumped in like a pro,had a 113 light(not great but its a slow jr) and he's had good lights on his first few passes.we were told it ran 45-48 mph,but it ran 61 mph on the first hit..when he was little he always wanted one of those paper wrist bands that i got at divisionals so i would cut mine off and tape them back on him,well sunday he got his own at central florida racing complex along with a semi final medal,he wont let me take that dirty wristband off of him

My Mom would tell anyone who asked she never had to worry about where Dad or I was. If he was not at work he was at home with her OR in the garage working on the car. Like my dad said there are alot worse habits than this!!! LOL. Good job Scott with your boy, I was the same way....Nothing wrong with that. have fun.

Thanks robert
we took my 15 year old daughter to orlando sunday with the jr.(she has been begging us to let her drive)she was a little more nervous than my boy but after the first pass she had 3 lights between .040 and .072 .when we got home she posted on facebook that she found her first true love and that she now understands her dads dedication to this sport
thanks for the replies
