    I also know someone that also shows what wrong with racing. He and his father take care of legend cars. They have six cars they take care of. With a lot more people wanting their service but six keeps them pretty busy. They get 600 a week per car. That includes up keep any repairs and driver instruction from a many time champion. All the kids have to do is show up with suit and helmet . They know nothing about how to work on cars or how to set them up. This is the future of racing kids that knows how to drive but nothing about the cars.

      Kyle and Kurt Busch had to work on their legends cars with help from dad. They also had to order parts at 04:30 am on Monday pacific coast time so they would have them by the next weekend. Dad taught them the work effort.

        That was also 20 years ago. I guess I hijacked this thread and made it about something that it wasn't supposed to be about.

        I want to, if I ever can string together the time within the next year put my niece in a mini wedge, she just turned 7, so hopefully by 11 or 12 I can put her in a hornet for a season then into an IMCA modified for a couple of years, maybe forever if I still have a late model, maybe in the late model. I'll be out of trying to drive myself by then I think. However she's gonna have to pound on the doors looking for sponsors if that's ever going to happen. I'm not a rich uncle or anything.
