.

Our local track had a booked in 8 car F/C show.
I showed up EARLY because I was dying to see all the cars, not just the funnys, that were going to show up for this big race. Top Stock was a stock/super stock combo. Several altereds and gassers.
Anyway, I was as close to starting line as I could get when a guy from the tower asked if I'd like to come help!!!!!!
He gave me some stats/car owner driver info to review, showed me how the clocks worked and shoved a microphone in front of me.
All he said was, "Keep it clean and have fun".
He let me stay there until eliminations and then he took over.
Never knew the guys name. I suppose he was part of the booked in group because I never saw him there again.
A 15 year old kid got to be a part of the show!

Hero for the day.
