Who wants their name on a kart?

There are a lot of initiatives on this forum that many of us wish to support, so don't stop asking for legitimate reasons. Hell, GentleBen was so smitten with GWiz, that not only did he fund her racing adventures, he gave her $1 for every 1/100th GPA point that she had achieved in her 4.5 years there, along with a really nice card. That was nearly $500.

Keep the racing dream alive for the next generation.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

I can't think of a better place for my kid to be on these summer weekends. The sportsmanship, the atmosphere of racing, the responsibility and learning that comes along with it. As I'm sure you can relate to the gazillion late night hours, bloody knuckles, tears, and smiles along the way... it's so much more than a "hobby". I really don't think it's something that can really even be explained. No other sport compares in my mind.

GWiz's growth has a lot to do with her passion for cars and racing for sure. A couple other areas that contributed to her overall package was 12 years in Tae Kwon Do (3rd degree black belt) and 4-year letter winner in Cross Country. Both martial arts, and long distance running require an immense amount of discipline and translate into life-winning attitudes.

You're doing the right thing. Your kid will be a winner when he's ready to contribute to society.

Considering my Hoosiers cost $2,500/set and give me a total of 36 runs (36 miles), sending you roughly the sales tax on my tires for your kid's kart is an easy decision. Shit...maybe I need to get a kart. (thinking...I'm 6'5", 300 lbs...OK, kart is out. Keep running expensive cars and tires)

The boy isn't much of a runner (yet), but martial arts of some kind is on the radar for sure. Give them the foundation... let them build upon it.

GWiz started at 6 and dad did it with her. Great bonding. I only made 2nd degree.

My old ass is sore for 3 days after coaching baseball practices.

I dont recall EVER begging or even asking for anything on this or any other forum besides information.
