Where did your father race?...That's fantastic! Where did your father race? Was he racing about that same time, early 1970s? Isn't it fun to find out things about your parents that make them human? My mother always wore dresses, never trousers, went to church all the time (although the reason for that is another and a sad story), so I was astounded when I found out that she used to go riding with her brother on his motorcycle! I only found out the first time I rode with someone. It was summer and hot and when I was leaving, she told me to take a sweater because it would be cool riding the motorcycle. I asked her how she knew and she sort of hemmed and hawed and then told me she knew from personal experience and spilled the story! Whoa, mom was a biker chick back in the 1930s! Must be where I get my wild streak!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-84829674067493057792014-06-05T12:30:34.288-07:002014-06-05T12:30:34.288-07:00Isn't that true?

Truthfully, I think people usually like to talk about themselves and like the attention.

You know I don't drive, although I can drive and J told people that the only problem when I was learning was that I was too fast! I'm now thinking - in another place I could have been a drag racer. Well I can dream.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-41787354143629455392014-06-05T06:48:13.842-07:002014-06-05T06:48:13.842-07:00Wonderful!

My dad still has all his drag racing trophies and has replaced racing cars with modifying the occasional VW for desert and beach driving. My parents have some wild stories though I can tell it makes them happy to think about those days.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943596258182968212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-63051332745475947562014-06-04T15:49:44.002-07:002014-06-04T15:49:44.002-07:00Amazing!
