Happy Father's day!
Many of us got started in this hobby as a result of a cool father. If you have a cool story please share it on this thread. I'll start:
22 years ago, we took an SCCA driver’s school together in rented cars. We just wanted to complete the school, not run hard, and get our licenses. Well, on Father's day for the race, dad was lined up 2 spots behind me. As we left the grid, I sensed the pre-race talk of 'let's take it easy and just finish high enough to get signed off' was out the window. Dad pounced when the green flag fell and the race was on! I immediately started putting cars between us. Coming out of hog pen, dad really sent it and the GTV he was driving drove past the 124 to win by about 5 feet at the stripe. Dad had staked his territory and we had our licenses! Definitely a memorable Father's day for both of us (even though I wasn't a father then, I appreciate that memory more each year that passed).
Cheers,
Scott
