ProudPops Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Stopped in IP after work to see Clutch. He's jazzed, he was issued his race number today. He requested 64, in tribute to the late Larry Schwartzbach, but unavailable. He accepted 604. If you're into numerology it works like this, 6+4=10 (new beginnings), reduce it even further, 1+0=1 (power number). I don't know who's more excited here, him or I. Anyway, next Wednesday, 9/13 (9+1+3=13, 1+3=4, angels are with you) we'll be at Nelson Ledges for his first license session, 10/04 for the final session. It's rain or shine and he already told me, "Dad, I don't mind racing in the rain, but I'm just going to look for consistency to get my license. I'm not going to throw it away." And for a while I just thought he only got my good looks. Keep your fingers crossed for some decent weather. He'll be in the last race at Nelson on Oct. 8. Thanks to Red Robin for scoring some great take offs at Mid Ohio we have enough tires for him to ride the wheels off his R6 for the weekend and then some. I'll mortgage the house for the rest. Not sure how many races we'll enter that day, but I'm sure it'll be whatever he can physically handle. Pretty sure that the grin on ProudPops in the pits won't come close to the ear bustin' grin behind his Shoei.Clutch, I'm very proud of you for following your dream, thank you for allowing me to be a part of it. You're my best friend. I love you.Pops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
