quickly um okay yeah it's on this is uh Riverside International Raceway in Riverside California and a lot of stock car racing was done there as well one of the road one of the famous road course races you can see the stands are packed and uh at this time I believe I was like 20 years old I'm here leading the race in a in a handmade uh more or less dune buggy with a lot of power and had good grip but the funny kind of the interesting thing about this is out of high school I went to work for Parell Jones and built his off-road Blazers and his trucks and he was he loved off-road racing so I went to work in that department parent and my dad kind of grew up together similar age and my dad was the painter of the group he did all their boats and airplanes and race cars and Indie Cars and all that and as a young man I got to hang around some of that stuff and clean up the shop wax the cars and kind of learn my craft just from from these other mentors that I hung out with but back in when I was 20 I'm racing and I'm beat this is Parnelli Jones this is Rick MIRS uh Roger MIRS Bob Gordon Mickey Thompson um uh Malcolm Smith was up here but I'm working for the guy during the day and then I'm racing and beating his ass you know at the racetrack so it was like kid what are you doing you're not supposed to do that you know you're supposed to let the old man do well you know and so but I was just you always do the best you can right but uh and it was a 10lp shootout it was an extra race um they call the challenge of the checkbooks I think is what it was and everybody put up 1,000 bucks my car owner put up 1,000 bucks and it was Winter take all and I wound up breaking my front shocks and Pally wound up broke breaking a a drive shaft Rick MIRS actually ran out of gas I mean that was so embarrassing I'm sure for him uh but somebody finally W it and uh it was a great race but uh it just reminded me of the time of being so humble for where I was and the people I I used to be able to hang around and uh and work for and then compete against him too at the same time it was a lot of fun so did you keep racing yourself after that oh sure yeah I raced for 13 years I won the uh Mickey Thompson Stadium Series across across the United States we raced uh hoer Dome Pontiac silver Dome Angel Stadium uh Las Vegas Stadium um Jack Murphy Stadium um so they did the Motocross uh when they bring in and take the turf out and uh they'd bring in a bunch of dirt for Motocross weekends so like a week…
