Being his oldest daughter she has accepted the awards in his name.<br />He was also inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame in Detroit , which has since been moved to Daytona. We only live 80 miles from there and been meaning to go check it out.<br />Yeah racing kinda runs in our blood.

Sprites and Mini's back in the day and then moto cross bikes.<br />I know I inherited the need for speed from him.<br />My problem is that I only know two throttle positions, off and wide open.<br />Doesn't matter if it's a fucking motor scooter with a lawn mower engine on it, a bike or a pumped up Chevy.<br />I used to rent my drivers license when I was younger.<br />This is why I don't own a rig with a V-8 in it anymore.<br />If it's got horsepower, I'm gonna use it all.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359657762730149804.post-48325310052908473692017-08-19T09:09:15.015-07:002017-08-19T09:09:15.015-07:00Dudes going the wrong way ?
