A word of warning though.... it did turn me into a big time Pontiac nut and speed freak. Never did anything tooo stupid though (especially with the goat).
I am going to get him involved at a young age. I plan to build him a go-cart in the next three years, and get him involved with the SCCA Solo II stuff when he becomes eligible to participate. He is already showing a lot of interest in what I do. He will come out and play in the Blazer "Jonathan's Truck" for hours. He will come into the garage with a bucket of his plastic tools, and announce that he has tools and is ready to help. He is a lot of fun. I would rather him learn the right way, learn to race, and appreciate muscle cars then experiment on his own. I know he will probably be a terror regardless of what I do. I just hope to make him a controlled, knowledgeable, and appreciative terror
