This weekend I watched as a group of young at heart and also young in age stand around a certain car and look,ask questions,and really look amazed at what they were touching,looking into and a few I think had that quick dream of "Wonder if I could do this ". It is amazing to watch a person who cares for the older lookers but especially the younger set, why you say?--well a correct word or a steering comment could save one youngster from the fate of poverty and maybe make them someone of interest in the future. If we in Racers Reunion have an impact on the youngsters of today then maybe they will be the leaders of Tomorrow. Then the world would be a far better place. Im attaching "O N E" photo to this to show you the look of pride in what this driver is doing here. You tell me the impact you think he has in todays people of the future, you do know he has connections dont you !!!

That picture is such a fine example of the wonderful person Free Pennington is. Look at that "happy look"on the faces of all three of those kids. You're right, Johnny. This is what all us true racers need to be doing with the young people every chance we get. If we don't, the glorious history of stock car racing will be gone with the wind. Thanks for adding this.Tim
