I've been watching Nascar since I was a wee grass hopper and I raced quarter midgets for a while. I don't know why I stopped, biggest mistake I made. I plan to have my kids in Quarter Midgets.
Funny story, when I was about 13-14 after I had stopped racing for a while, my step dad took me to this indoor go kart place in NJ. It was concrete track and they powdered it so you had to slide it like sprint cars. A couple of local older racers just wanting a night of fun to play around showed up and after a couple of laps, it turned into a competition against me because I was whipping their asses. By the end of the night I figured which cars were worth driving and which ones weren't. I left those guys scratchin' their heads. Man I miss it.
