I value my time with my family and we spend time fishing and camping whenever we can. My grandsons race outlaw karts and my son has raced a sprint car and late model for a few years. Racing is more of a lifestyle and we spent many hours together working on the various cars. I have helped a high school friend with his street rods and some show cars. My dad and I had a large model railroad until he sold his house and we are looking forward to building a new one soon.
