Acquiring a Car and Initial Racing Challenges

buddy baker was running really good i watched him drive off and turn one he went off the corner didn't sound like he lifted out of the throttle he got halfway into the corner i thought i can do that no wonder i'm not running as fast as he is got time for me to qualify i drove in it's fun out before i got to the center of the corner because i had never cracked the throttle anyway wind up crashing down the distance right on this other track that's a track it doesn't really tell you exactly yeah i wasn't used to this tracks that big go-kart tracks not very big but anyway it really uh threw me for a curve darryl said you know i don't think you're gonna get to drive anybody else's car you're probably gonna have to get your own if you want to do this but obviously obviously you're not afraid so that's that's a good thing and uh so we bought this old used car and carried it out to drove drove barrel said okay i'll get a couple guys work for us and one of the guys that was working for dk that had seen me run practice and then go down to the racetrack and run he said i want to be part of this so he volunteered and come to work for us we left dk came workforce a couple other guys we took this old raggedy car and went out to uh ontario motor speedway at that time the last race of the year missed getting in the race by one or two spots i don't remember which but didn't get in and then they took us the next weekend they said while we're already in california there's a winston rest winston west race next weekend at phoenix we'll go there and get you some experience run with those guys okay so we get over there we're running the race and i'm running along their mid-pack i said all right daryl comes on the radio and says okay you're going to be pitting here in a minute now get ready don't don't get flustered or anything we're going to pitch you you come here get some gas and uh so about the time i'm starting to go down come down pit roads no no no
