Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Oh I love the sound of a cammed up car.. always have.. guess it's the " live dangerously girl " part of me.. and Earl's never been, even as a newborn, overly gun shy of those kinds of noises.. I do believe it's cause I was runnin' round the race track while I was pregnant with him.. I was the pit crew.. LOL.. There was only like a year that I couldn't go to the track and take him.. it was shortly after he learned to walk.. We took the playpen, set it up at the end of the car trailer.. when Bill came back from a run, I'd dump Earl in the playpen and start to cool the car, then get it ready for the next run.. worked for maybe 1 trip.. then we were at the back of the car filling the fuel pod... and there comes Earl toddling down the side of the car to the back where we were.. that ended his trips to the track until he got just a bit taller.. Couldn't have the little squirt wandering out in front of a car come through the pits with one of those hood scoops where he wouldn't be seen.. We came from Connecticut to Eldora, West Virginia to race one year for some special meet.. and I had uniforms put together for all of us.. black pants, white golf shirts.. but on each shirt I sat down and drew a picture of the car, then used the liquid embroidery on each of them.. so all our shirts matched.. Bill's hat (black with white lettering.. everything keeping with the color of the car) had " Driver " on it.. Bud's hat (my oldest son) had " Crew Chief " on it.. and mine of course had " Crew " .. Earl's on the other hand.. had " Future Driver " on it.. and he kept us to that promise for sure.. LOL.. We won an award.. for the longest distance traveled.. they wanted to give us the Best Appearing Crew award.. but couldn't give us two awards and every other team was local.. so we got the distance one.. Have pictures of it somewhere.. but I don't have custody of those pictures.. unfortunately.. Oh.. the smell of Cam2 and rubber burning.. I still love it.. and I miss it.. But like I said.. maybe this coming summer, now that I've got the chair.. and I will sneak up to the track and watch.. Don't wanna get Earl's dad all anxious with my being there with .. and I couldn't go with them alone because they'd have both been anxious about what was happening with me.. and that's not fair to either.. I didn't know there was a track up your way.. Maybe I did.. but I don't think we ever took the car.. is it quarter mile or eighth mile?
