You learn to cope, the point driven home to me is that bad driving knows no barriers.
The RX7 was being built as a race car for the KTF Academy ““the one that was too professional””.
Behind and to the right of the RX7 is a dirt race track, it is in my back yard (5 acres). My boys and their mates learnt to handle a car on that track, I hate dust so when it rained they were free to have fun, always in the same direction.
Rules.
- if you get taken out stay in car.
- no one was allowed to stand near the track
- stand beside the shed until your turn
- Look after each other.
3 or 4 cars at a time in the wet on a track just wide enough to pass on, with 30m straights, they had a ball. I think it is called drift racing now days.
The good part is not one of those kids have been seriously hurt in a car accident and their ages now range between 25yrs and 30yrs. My boys can out drive me but I keep reminding them they learnt to drive looking over my shoulder (on the back seat).
I know my kids were in my yard driving cars they brought themselves not on the street in stolen cars.
I will put up some pics of a cleanup of some of the wrecks on the same page. http://www.ktf.com.au/Pages/jim.htm
Anyone started a thread on members cars?
