Favorite Figure 8 Track we run and why: David City - Not only it is hometown turf and nice to see friends and family in the stands there watching. It is a good size track well maintained unlike some of the other tracks we race on, its tacky and easy to start in the back ad end in the front.
Favorite Figure 8 Moments: Asking around trying to figure out what a cal cutta was when we raced the back yard of Chambers, the get togethers at the beginning of the year it gets you pumped that racing is about to start again and you get to visit with drivers that you haven't seen since the last race. My brother Phillip getting back from overseas and coming out to watch me race, Fan Appreciation day in york gives you a chance to see the excitement from someone in the stands point of view.
