Thinking back still again, my first car was a quarter midget racer. I didn't own it, but a local rancher asked me to drive the car for him while I was in 5th and 6th grade. He solicited a new driver every 2 years at our local grade school when the current driver timed out (aged) out of the quarter midget age regulations. I really had fun driving that little car on regulation dirt tracks. I even won my first race after doing the required rookie heat races where passing wasn't allowed.
