you ought to go to a spring race at Atlanta. i prefer the ARCA series, they wreck a lot and have good spirit. i got to watch an IROC race there once. I used to go to the spring and fall race at Atlanta motor speedway each year when i was a boy. another race to go to at least once is a top fuel race. there is no words to describe the physical assault your body gets from the sound waves. a marvel of technology, those engines are. i went last year with my dad to the spring nationals at Atlanta dragway, first time we went it was my 11th birthday, it was nostalgic us going again after 15 years.
I want to go see a motogp race at road Atlanta one day.
my grandfather raced nascar in the sportmans class in the early 60's. My dad has had the opportunity to meet Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Fireball Roberts and a few others. he ran a '54 ford. He used to say you could not find a clean right front fender in georgia for a 1954 Ford to save your life.

After yesterday's plug wire escapades, I expected the same today, "Murphy's law" sorta thing. Had a couple drive 5hours to look at a colt I had for sale. Instead, he bought 3 colts & 2 fillies, 5 in all. :joyful: On top of that, an old friend offered to fix my pickup, in trade for doing his taxes. Two lessons here: good genetics sell themselves, and old friends are awesome.

Went to the 1st moto gp race at indy years and years back.

Forgot

Paid 250.00 to do a parade lap with a group. They did about 30mph. It took every ounce of my NOT to say F it and twist the throttle. I used to race a 2004 Honda cbr 1000rr (ten kata race replica) at that time .

I guess, other than Mendel, you probably would not understand my glee. To explain, a normal colt would sell for $25, maybe $50, if they are a pretty color. But these colts brought $1250, fillies $750. So, absolutely, fat joints all around!
