Welcome to my first post related to my website based on the sport of late model dirt track racing in the state of Illinois. It is a sport that I've grown up around and love it still to this day.
I'm 36 years old, been married 6 years and have 2 kids. Life at the house can be hectic...so sometimes you got to go to where you still feel like a kid again. For me, I head to the nearby race tracks here in IL...or even venture 2-3 hrs away to some I've not been to in quite some time. I've been going to races since I was probably 4-5 years old. So since about 1980 or so, I've had the opportunity to see some great drivers come and go.
I 'm passionate about the sport and how much it has grown in 30 plus years. Sure there are those who have been around longer than me and can speak of sport from the mid 70's on back. To that I say, welcome! Share you commnets and educate me. Can't fault a guy who just wasn't born back then. I'm a history buff and I love to hear about past drivers and their tales.
However I'll also be blogging on some the races I took in over summer. I'll also be noting about some races that are late season races out of state where competitors from Illinois are competeing. One of my goals with this blog I have is I want to try and update some of you on the whereabouts of some of the drivers who have retired and what they are doing now that their sun has set.
Again, welcome!
