Few pics from my very first race beginning of last year.

First couple my moms helping me out with helmet straps.
Next couple my dad and I waiting for the green flag and holding the boat as I get in.

It's tough enough running 750MH in region 7 without having to run against my own kid. We are second and third generation racers. Mom and Dad both ran 4 cyl. alky back in the last century.

Family: what a pain! HA!

On of my first races in a 45 with WayneCo on the inside. Nothing makes the week like kicking his son's backside the previous weekend...

family rocks...

my father (cowboy hat) instructing me how to put gas in my motor . my son wondering when i'm going to let him drive. my mentor (ball cap) who has been just like family.... if my crew chief could only enjoy this racing as much as the rest of the family i'd have it figured out. i need to keep working on her.

Here`s a snapshot I took at the worlds of a father sniffing his sons butt to see if it`s time to pass him back to momma.
