One night in 1999 I was on a late night shopping excursion for my toy collecting habbit, and I stumbled through the computer games section.  I spied a title called DTR.  At the time I had a small laptop with a 486mhz chip, but I picked up the box and began to read.

Well there on that box opened up a world to me I thought I had left behind me in my childhood.  My Father used to take us to the local (45 miles away) dirt tracks in West Virginia, and to Skyline Speedway in Stewart Ohio so that we could see the sprints.

This was when late models had steel bodies, and sprints had plywood wings, and both sideboards were set at the same height.. (telling my age now.)  I grew up watching great drivers such as Harold Redman, Tye Long, Tommy Dixon, George Harbour.

I was working with a friend of mine in the pits once and a while, when Mike and Mark Balzano were still running   the semi-late model class at Ohio Valley, Jackson County Speedway

Over time, and various computer purchases and rebuilds, and just flat out building a system to run DTR and DTR-SC.  I am now in Heaven.  Painting cars, Making Tracks, and just flat out Racing!!
