As a kid my dad took me to dirt track races sometimes three times a weekend all around the western Pennsylvania area. I liked it, the roar of the engines and the beating and the banging. The usual fight in the pits after the main. But as I grew older I lost interest in it as other things were taking shape in my life. The Army, college, and a wife. Then in the early 80's I was watching a race on TV and they had a in car camera right over Cale Yarborough's right shoulder. You could see the gauges, part of the wheel, and the track in front of him. The mike picked up the engine and the whining of the gears. The commontators could talk to him under caution! I don't remember the exact year, but it was Datona and he won! That was great! and I've been hooked every since! I'm just wondering if any of you remember when you got the Nascar bug and what it was that triggered it?
