Z-man should combine these threads. I replied on the other one about fathers and sons. Here, I will reply about Grady's karting. I did race side bey side with my stepson in karts and kept on racing after he dropped out. BUT, when the Grand Nationals came our way at Adams in Riverside, I parked my kart ane wrenched for him. He came in 2nd. 3 heats, 1 win and two 2nds to the other driver who had 2 wins and one 2nd. Had the other driver not finished 2nd in the last heat, we would have won the National Championship on ponts. The heartbreak was the second heat. We were getting dialed in to the track and we blew off everyone by the 3rd heat, but the 2nd heat was almost a dead heat. We lost that by a foot at the line.

Sorry to ramble about this, but racing with your son, no matter who is driving is a real neat deal.
