Passing the torch

Well, here we go. This past weekend, we bought a junior dragster for Luke. Our neighbors and drag racing friends sold us Cade's first car. Cade is 12, almost 13 now and he will be getting a faster car. Cade has raced this car since he was 8 years old. Luke is beside himself with excitment. Freddie and I are preaching responsibility. But I know that Luke will take care of this car. He is always "helpling" Cade at the track and every night this past week, Luke has asked to go out to the shop to "check" on his car. Now, all he has to do is wait until he turns 8 years old...only a few months away. I can't believe that he is almost 8 years old?! Where has the time gone?

Cade pushing Luke out of his driveway and on to our house.  The car didn't come with an engine.  We are still shopping for an engine. 


Here they are coming up our driveway, headed for our shop

Parked next to Freddie's dragster.  Freddie is having to make some modifications to our trailer to be able to fit both dragsters and the golf cart into.  But I think we will be able to get it all in there.  This summer should be lots of fun.  Well, after I get over the the nervousness of letting my kid drive a dragster :)
The boys...Cade, Carrol, Luke and Freddie
