Re: This is pretty cool story
Fuck yeah, awesome read. This is what grassroots motorsports is all about. Hopefully this guy is recognized and gets some sponsorships and continues racing. Amateurs like myself can only dream of participating on a big stage like that.

That's awesome! It's cool to see a normal working (or unemployed in this case) guy race with the best of the best.

That's awesome. Just goes to show that random people have talent too, not just people who's mommy and daddy got them into racing because they are rich.
