Sorry for the late reply, but I took the weekend off and didn't see your
post til this morning.
You did the right thing, man. I never race with anyone in my truck,
especially my kids (maybe the wife, if she's up for it). Never race
another vehicle with a kid in it.
You beat the RX-7 before? Wow, that's a pretty light-weight car that goes
pretty fast.
Way to go on both counts. Keep using your head!
