i think i need to come to this event. theraputic reasons.

[personal shit]

this rallycross in 2007 marked the end of me doing the full series.

it was the friday before the cross and my dad was not feeling well and needed to go to the hospital. he had been in and out for a while with kidney and diabetes related stuff. so it was like just another trip.

i was there to help mom load him into the car, said i love you dad and sent him on his way, and i took off for rochester to go racing. my spirits were good. i got home at like 11pm after getting dinner in rochester and karting in scaraborough. i was woken to "the call" at 4:30 am, i had lost my father.

i carried a guilt with me for many months about going racing when i should have stayed home to spend time with my dad in the hospital.

[/personal shit]

i think i need to go to this event. time to load the snow tires in the RS, grab the helmet and go Stock AWD.

just thought i would share that. kinda explains my disappearance from the RX scene. i have done one or two events since then.but not much else.

no, he grew to accept it and actually initiated conversations about our racing in the last year of his life.

we discovered a picture of him racing in a soapbox..and we cornered him on it.

he started laughing and told us the whole story of building it, racing it, and losing a wheel heading down the hill and wrecking it.

hehe life has its moments.

I could change it the alt for you, but the car probably wouldn't make it there

You could drive my car but its def not the best candidate for 4M. No gravels, not much power, and its a wagon. I know you and wagons are like fire and ice.

thanks inski, but the way my luck has been this week, I don't think I'll borrow anything other than a trailer queen, in case it breaks on me!
