Default How it all starts

I'm just in one of those moods I guess. Thought this was cool, funny and had some good sounds going on... All my grandkids are older than this one but you young dads take notes....

That was a great video. Looks like he is ready to race for the Piston Cup . That video will be priceless to him when he gets older.

WOW!!


Cool Video and REALLY Cool Experience for everyone involved!



My father was a really good man, and he tried to support me the best he could. HOWEVER, he barely knew which end of a screwdriver to use, so as a child I watched a few of the "other kids" race go-karts, etc. I often felt, as a "young gearhead", that I was an orphan that was taken in by my parents, as my adventures in the driveway were always done alone, as my father was at a loss with things mechanical. It's good to see a young boy growing up with the family support he'll cherish forever.

The best part to me is that the child was involved in all of the building process!

I was hoping he would show how much power it made on the dyno!
