Fantastic. It always amazes me how many folks are interested, yet unable to learn about what we racers do, because few take the time to explain it. Good job. We should all strive to be better ambassadors to our sport.

I teach middle schoolers in a shop class. Some are very interested in my racing. Quite a few have been to the track and are aware of the difference between heads up and time racing as they call it. I showed them the Sportsnationals video from 1978. They really liked the runs that went to the wire. I explained to them that its all math related and somewhat like golf. They understand the handicap system in golf, many of them play. My principal let us put a Porta Tree in the room to help promote math skills. We run a ladder system once a week depending on behavior. The students have to do writing or math related work in order to qualify for race days. They are pretty good, though some are better than others. They also like bye runs...don't we all. My- 2 cents, children need a positive outlet.
