3rd Generation Waibel to take the track

[FlyingW]

For those of you who are up on your history, there will be a piece that you can put in your books this Thursday as Jacob Waibel, son of Jeremy Waibel, and Grandson of Jimmy Waibel, steps into a Jr. Dragster for his first lap of Drag racing at the age of 8. Jacob is the 3rd Generation on both sides of his family to race. Jacob is being afforded this opportunity by a family friend who has a child in Jr. Drag racing and offered for him to come and test and tune at Lakeland, Florida. For those of you who are familiar with the Waibel name, you know that Jimmy was a driving force in the creation of Lakeland Dragstrip where the nationals were held in the 70's. This dragstrip is soon to be demolished or so the rumor mill goes, and I think that it is awesome that he gets this opportunity to do this before we no longer have this piece of history. We are very excited in Jacobs determination to drive like his dad and grandfather, and hope that we will one day be able to put him in his own car to race.
So anyone who plans to be racing in 8 - 10 years you need to be aware that Jacob Waibel will be hitting the tree like his dad and the stripe like his grandpa....... (scary huh) Fletch and Biondo... that means you too!!!!
