I am still stoked over this deal. First off I was not able to be there but he was calling me between rounds and we were texting back and fourth all weekend. I was a nervous wreck frankly, way more nervous than I ever was driving myself for sure. Takes me back to his baseball days.

My son got his first win in S/Pro yesterday at LVMS. He had never raced anything at all until last year. We threw him in the family trickster and turned him loose in S/Pro. He struggled at first but has been learning since day 1. Well 14 months later it has paid off with a W. He entered a $2500 race on Saturday and gave it back with a bye to the final on the line. Came back on Sunday and got it done. He has listened well and it is all starting to come together for him. He was .011 on the tree and took .0032 at the stripe killing .04 and scrubbing 8 mph. So Congrats to Steven for getting his first W hopefully the first of many more. Bigger and better to come.

Good job Steven! In only a little over a year to get the first W. Mine took just a hair under a decade to get in winner's circle. Congrats to proud papa Al also for getting him there!
