What a great memory to cherish of you and your Dad spending time together...

Glad you guys enjoyed it! Once and a while I get the old phart to race with me these days! He is eighty years young! :handgestures-thumbup:

Jeff,

That is awesome you and your Dad still race together at times.

I lost my Dad at 59 about 6 years ago and my Uncle passed about 8 years ago at 57.

The 3 of us had great times racing, building 1:1 cars, models,slots,fishing.

I really miss those days.

They were my buddies and best friends!

We did everything together....

I told my wife the other day I can only imagine how different life would be now if they were still here.

My uncle and I had plans of opening a hobby shop when he retired since he was a big Lionel train collector also.

My Dad and I would probably still be building 1:1 hot rods like we did years ago.

Cherish those days with your Dad.

You don't realize how much you miss them until they are gone.......

I am the last of the true gear head/ car guys in my family.

I have yet to find another family member or close friend who has nitro methane running through their veins like me.

Either your a car guy or not.

You are born with it!

Another great post my friend!

I wish we lived closer to race and enjoy all these great little cars on our tracks!

I wish us motor heads were closer to each other. I probably get nothing else done!!! Glad to hear you are still carrying the torch Wayne! Sounds like you and your dad and uncle had some memorable times together!

I'm trying to carry the family torch.

Not so much in 1:1 cars anymore but at least in Ho and 1/32 slots.

I'd love to pick up another old 1:1 car project but time and $$ prohibits it currently with all the kids activities we are involved in.

Slot cars will have to suffice for now.

Wayne :D
