Tell Your Story

If you're anything like me, you have been a car enthusiast for a long time. We have been a lot of places, owned a number of interesting cars, and seen many changes in our hobby over the years. They may never make a movie of our life story, but maybe a few fellow "car guys" would like to hear our story.
In my case, I went on, year after year, just doing my thing. I was a street racer since the 1960's, spent many years also racing on the drag strip, and just enjoying my love of fast cars. One night in the late 1990's, I was out at the local street race spot about midnight, and was talking to some of the young racers in the crowd. One of them asked me,"how long have you been doing this"? "Since I was a teenager", I answered. "Things must have changed a lot, you should write a book about it" was his reply. That started me thinking about it, and the thought kept crossing my mind, and a few years later, I started writing my book.
Now, social media has given us many options of how we might share our story with other like minded enthusiasts. You might not go to the trouble to write a book about your car obsession like I did, but you can connect with other car people on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media site, and spread the word that way.
You can check out my book; "Grab Some Gears - 40 Years of Street Racing" just follow this link; "Grab Some Gears"
