Getting out of in house S (9)

[vise82]

Hey Fogg,

Ok auto racing.

I was done high school and after a very sucssefull football carrer in highschool, winning MVP two years in a row and our school every year at the championships only to lose i found that i peaked. Football was my life.

I left football and entered into a trade school. while in trade school I thought that i would do something different and because auto race is primarilly a solitary sport and seeing how my social skill were not the best i thought it would be a good fit. I was already tearing apart cars and working on them and my friends cars so I had that skill.

My summers off I took a weekend racing school and entered into a racing series. This was a lot of money and most of the racers were what my age is now. I decided to race young and not to save the money.

The first year was disastrous for me, still learning, was at the bottom every race, had rally old tires but i learned fast.

Second year I was doing better and with new tires I won, I was able to finish the series with a second place in my class.

The third year I really pushed it, was on track to win my class but was plagued with two roll overs and having to rebuild the car on the last roll over. Although I did see more event wins and faster lap times, It was more of a struggle just to have a car ready so i did not miss an event. I did not miss one event despite the roll overs.

That was my last year. moth balled the car and really have not worked on it since, was focused on my w (girlfriend at the time).

Did some weekend drag racing here and there while dating, nothing too serious. I sold my other three street/race cars but held onto one. Sold my race car trailer and installed a bumper hitch tow bar on the race car. Sold the race tow vehicle and bought a mini van that had some towing capacity.
Sold all car parts not related to racing. Had to reduce what i had in a three car garage to fit in a one car garage and some room in the basement.

Then moved again and had to get all the racing stuff into a one car garage and what was to be a loft above the garage but it never got built. Race car had to sit out side until the storage loft was built but was not a priority the last couple of years.

The new house I am moving to has a two car garage. W actual found the house. funny how she cares that I have a two car garage now and not when we bought the current house we are in. Its in the school zone so I agreed to move there and sell our current house, getting the S moving as W was threatening to take me to court.

I have every intention in getting back into it, even if its just parking lot type event for now. Kids are at age now that they will be leaning how to build and set up a race car as I get back into racing again.

really its ALMOST everything I always wanted, and if W decides to join me in this life i build on my own, thats her decision.

Yesterday I found a car club that is having a car show, swap meet and they have a list of orphaned car companies that the members own. The car I race is one of them. I will be checking that out. Maybe join.
