First time you ever drove a race car?
What was the first time you ever drove a race car?
I’ll start.
Caney Valley Speedway, 1982, got to pack the track in a street stock. Scared as he!!, and they ran in the track the opposite way. Slick gumbo clay ¼ mile. Sliding down the banking while trying to figure everything out was not fun. Thought I was going to crash packing the track.
The only other time was 2019, at Baer Field on the 3/8’s for the 24 hour Grocery Getter Classic. I and three others did the entire 24 hours finishing 17th out of 58 purely stock street cars. Used up 27 right front tires, 38 total tires for the whole race. It was definitely a bucket list deal. One of the, if not, the, most fun I’ve ever had at the race track. Asphalt aside.
