I grew up not far from Islip on long island. The local gas jockey had a modified he worked on there.
My cousin and I would go there and watch him and is palswork on it. We were welcome as we knew enough not to get in their way.
One weekend he invited us to ride o the track with him, we jumped at the chance and I have been hooked ever since.
I love all forms of racing from F1 to the lowest class of street stock style. Have been to tracks from Northern Maine to South Florida, as far west as Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, PQ, Ont, PEI, NB, NS and all points in between. There are many many great tracks out there and I have left them all, glad that I made it to a race there.
But one of the biggest reasons I am a diehard fan, is the other fans I have met along my travels. Sure you meet as strangers (some of us stranger than others, but that's a discussion for another time) but I have always parted company with new friendships. Some of these go all the way back to the '60's and I cherish them all.
To me there is no better things in life than a good race and the best people in the world to enjoy them with.
Just thought I'd throw this out and get a few reactions.
