I'm a die hard dirt track racing loving fan and Late Model racing is my FAVORITE by far. There's nothing like hearing those powerful engines roaring to life and feeling the ground rumbling under my feet and smelling race fuel fumes in the air. There's nothing better to get your heart pumping. I even get excited when I see race car haulers rolling down the road, I can't help it. I've been at a dirt track since I was born. And it's in my blood and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Only GOD and FAMILY come before racing but I truly can never have enough dirt track racing. Great video 🤗❤️🙏

@@HistoryMysteryMan You are so welcome. You have such a variety of topics on your channel. I always look forward to seeing your next video to see what mystery you're working on. However, I'm recovering from surgery so that's why I have missed responding to your interesting videos. I actually have to go for a test on Friday and it's possible I may have to have another surgery. GOD'S IN CHARGE AND STILL ON THE THRONE AND STILL ANSWERING PRAYERS AND PERFORMING MIRACLES 🙏 AND I KNOW IF I DO REQUIRE ANOTHER SURGERY, GOD'S GOT ME COVERED AND I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE REASON, I DO KNOW THERE WILL BE A BLESSING TO FOLLOW . 🙏 MAY NOT SEE IT IMMEDIATELY BUT EVENTUALLY GOD WILL SHOW ME THE BLESSING🙏🙏 So I just take it in stride and it's just another thing. I KEEP GOD FIRST AND VERY CLOSE AT ALL TIMES. Thank you for this particular video because not being able to get to the race track is a bummer. I've been without a vehicle since June 10th will be 3 years ago now. The woman who ran the red light totalling my car refused to go to the hospital!! IMMEDIATE RED FLAG!! I was trapped in my car and unconscious initially. BUT GOD SHOWED UP IN A MAJOR WAY 🙏🙏🙏 and when GOD decides it's time for me to get a car,I will. However, I don't want a new car. I will find a body style I want and I'm going to get a 6 cylinder motor with a regular carburetor, points, plugs and distributor cap, power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. I don't need anything computerized!!! They're way to expensive and parts are hard to come by whenever they break or go bad. And the mechanics make a killing off of a job they can do in a fairly short amount of time although sometimes they have to remove 10 things to get to a sensor to replace it and charge a fortune. I want to be able to open the hood and work on it myself if need be. LOL 😂 KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS ❤️🤗🙏GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏🤗❤️🙏
