Thank you for letting me join your forum and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I must admit that I watched on the other forum but only as a lurker and was blown away by all the great work I saw. I have been a racing fan since age 3 and a modeler since 9. I grew up n SE Wisconsin attending races at Jefferson, Wisconsin Dells, Columbus and Capital speedway in Oregon. I like to refer to Capital speedway as great little racetrack with a town attached as I grew up in Oregon. I spent time working on Mike Jacobson's late model stock car, a 1958 Ford. Mike ran 390 and 427 Ford motors and I also bought 56 Ford Hobby stock and raced once when I broke my knee in a regular car accident. Knee got well ad I joined Uncle Sam's Aero Club aka USAF and spent about 21 years there. I also was on a couple of pit crews while in South Dakota. I currently attend races at Eagle and I-80 in Nebraska have also been to Knoxville U.S. 36 speedway in Missouri and McCool Junction also in Nebraska. I like to build almost everything but I really like to build stock cars and modifieds. Hope to get back with you guys soon. Thanks Al
