Re-Kindle an old flame

Hey guys and gals! I'm not sure how many of you are dirt track fans but I grew up going to my local track weekly as a kid. My dad's boss at the time ran a Street Stock at Canyon Raceway. Thats how i learned how to spray paint was painting that car . Anyway I have not been to a dirt track since I was about 14 and now I'm 32. My dad and I went to a local track in Prescott Valley, Arizona for the 2010 Finally. A friend of his ran mini stocks for a little while and took a couple years off and came back with a brand new car to test the waters in Super Stock. After getting in the wall to avoid a crash in the heat race he came back and finished 3rd in the main. Not bad for a first time. ( His is the black and orange #10 ). Anyway I know these pics are not the best as it was tough to capture but I hope you guys like it. Now I want to go every week again! First up my only good Sprint pic and some mini stocks.

This is a pair of Toyotas. White one a Celica and the Yellow one is a Corolla

Here is a pair of odd ball fords. A Tempo and a Pinto! I wish the Pinto shot was better.

Followed by a few Mustangs. The orange one blew up and ended up on fire.

These pictures bring back a lot of memories. I raced dirt track stock cars back in the seventies. A wreck that left pieces of my car scattered from the fourth turn, clear to the first turn, and me in recovery for the next two years. I would still go back to driving in a heartbeat if I had the chance. Just looking at these pictures, I can smell the oil, fuel, dirt, and tires. Thanks for sharing them.
