As a little a boy (which is right now), I got interested in racing in watching my dad race, and I said, “wow, I can’t wait till I race!” I told my dad first I wanted to start racing on the smooth and straight surface. Prior to my dad racing, my dad would take us to his friend’s stock car racing every Friday night, at the Ventura Fair Grounds.

I heard of this dragster and I said “that is sort of cool”. And then one day I went down to where the dragster was. And I said” I can’t wait to race it!” Then I asked my parent, “Do you think I’d win?” Did I say my wall is almost filled with cars. I have at least more than 100 little matchbox cars in my room. I go to Tae Kwon Do and my instructor, Mr. Long, is the one who made this cool web sight.

My teacher is Ms Albair she is very nice to me and every day I talk about cars with my friend Terence. I just got some pictures of me and the dragster and I am going to share them Wednesday. My Dad said” I want you to work on your staging.” Right now I am really into cars. I tell mostly everybody in my school that I race a dragster.

I might practice in September at Pismo Dunes or I might be able to race it in the summer. My dad already told me I have to take care of my helmet and all of my equipment or I will not be able to race.
