Thread: My first "professional" racing job

Tweet

This is the only picture I have of this car. My name is on the side. I had others but someone else wound up with them. I worked on this thing 3 winters and 3 summers. My job keep it looking good. We won enough to pay for the gas and some parts. My welding rod of choice was coat hangers. ( metal ones remember them) We only raced clay at a track outside Chicago . It is now a housing project. The first race of second season I couldn't go had to work.. I was waiting for them to get back, I went out to see what damage had been done....Drivers side was like it was when it lift...The passenger side was ripped open like a sardine can. It was fun and a learing experiance..........Thanks for bringing up the menories Dave.
