My Book

I’ve been a car guy for more than 50 years, and have been involved in some type of racing for many of those years. About 10 years of that included many runs down the quarter mile drag strip, but most of my experience was late night street racing.
One night, in the late 1990’s, we were out at one of the popular street racing spots, talking with a group of young racing fans, most of whom were much younger than me. After talking for awhile, one of the young guys asked me; “how many years have you been doing this?”  I thought for a few seconds then answered; “ I’ve been doing this for about 40 years.”  He looked at me with amazement and said; “Wow, you should write a book.”
That conversation started me thinking about all that I had experienced in my many years of racing, and all the changes I had seen in all that time.  It took a few years, but the thought kept coming back to me, “maybe I could write a book.”   I started to put some ideas together , and after a little while, I had the start of a book.  It was finished and copyrights filed in 2006.

Dreams

We all have these type of thoughts, no matter who we are, or what our stage of life.  Sometimes it’s about our home, our job, places we wish we could visit, or maybe the type of car we wish we could have. No matter what we’re lucky enough to have, there’s always something nicer out of our reach. Sometimes these things are so far out of our reach, we know for sure that we’re just dreaming.
For me, these “dreams”  often involve a beautiful car I have seen on the automotive posts that I follow on Twitter.  This is an everyday occurrence for me. The most beautiful and amazing cars in the world make an appearance every day.
People who know me, or are familiar with this blog, or my Twitter posts, will know that I have owned some very nice cars over the years. I have to be very satisfied with the great performance cars have been able to experience. But, even after all that, I can still dream.  I can still admire the amazing beauty, and try to imagine what it would be like to get to drive those awesome machines. Let’s never stop dreaming.
