Keystone Raceway Park this weekend

I was there with my truck as its one of the main reasons I go to Chryslers at Carlisle, I double entered two classes right before a third time shot it rained and that was it. I wasn't happy as my truck rarely sees rain luckily I found a wash it yourself place to clean it on the way back to the hotel as the weather cleared. I really don't understand how there's 3,000 cars at Carlisle and only 20 or so show to race, poor promotion, lack of interest, who knows? I emailed Mountain Mike with a few suggestions to improve attendance , we will see. I would really hate to see it disappear as I like racing there during Carlisle.




I wish I could explain some of the things going on today. Mike is my friends son and he’s my sons age (32). His Dad always had chevies that he beat around in but never really raced. With a huge shop in Freeport we hung around for hours sipping a few adult drinks with the kids playing with race cars at our feet. Mike went to the races with h us quit a bit and loved racing. Today mike owns a custom paint shop 1 mile from dads shop, has an LS 5 speed camero with ported heads and other work and has never had had it to the track. He probably has at least two other faster cars and two beautiful trucks and his time is showing his trucks. There are at least 3-4 other kids that hung out with us that have nice faster cars but don’t even test n tune. Look at my son. He loves and knows racing probably better than me. His car has been sitting for over three years with engines and transmissions available if he would follow a few fatherly rules. Nope. He now waits on seats offered to him. I have never missed a year of racing and I mean that was through a divorce, fighting for child custody, rebuying my house, a heart attack, and one period in the mill that I was laid off for 13 months, went back for a week, and off 4 more months. Strange, very strange.
