***Update*** I WANT TOMAKE ONE THING VERY CLEAR, THIS IS NOT A DIG AT RON BARFIELD OR DILLON MOTOR SPEEDWAY! THE TRACK PUT ON A GREAT PROGRAM AND I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AS AN OWNER, DRIVER, AND CREW MEMBER FOR 38 YEARS IN RACING! THIS IS AN OBSERVATION ON HOW TRACKS ARE STAYING ALIVE! With the unfortunate shuttering of Florence Motor Speedway at the end of the season I made an interesting observation today as to why short tracks are dying in America. Dillon and I imagine a lot of short tracks are being kept open by the support of the racers. The last picture here tells the story, the stands are nearly empty, like it was dismally small attendance. The infield however was packed, there was not a spot left anywhere, trailers and cars were lined up parrallel parked along the inner back stretch wall and there was overflow into the air parking lot outside the gates. I don't know anything about promoting but if racing is to survive, tracks need better attendance. The general admission here for the stands was $20. Honestly, pretty fair for a night of entertainment, concession prices were good. You could get a combo meal, cheeseburger, fries and a drink for $12 bucks. Individual food a drink prices were reasonable. The track was not out pricing the customer I didn't think and you're allowed to bring your own stuff in with you. And there was good racing, car counts were good, the track did a good job keeping the show rolling so I don't know where the fans are but I hope they can find a way to get more of them in the seats or tracks will continue to close.

Great day at Dillon Motor Speedway today crewing and spotting for Jim Swann out of Charleston SC. A ton of cars here, Brexton Bush was here running his legend car and the infield was packed!

Not the weekend we were hoping for. We were off to a great start, then broke a rocker arm in practice, metal in the motor, done for the season. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement but, I left in my truck today with my trailer in tow. Another driver left in a medi-vac chopper after a huge crash. Fortunately he will be ok. Perspective is everything. Thank you to my crew guys Matt Wall and Rick Jorgenson for making the trip with me. We'll fix it and be back next season. We have a lot to look forward to. Austin Toby has the MB Drift Halloween Havoc event coming up, and we have a very busy off season coming up, building the new BMW E36 drift car, a new Ford Ta**us road racing car, and a new hauler. Big things happening at 4Ts Racing.

Had my helper in the shop this afternoon getting the radiator duct and grill openings buttoned up. A few more details and off to Brian Wittkamp at CompCal to finish it up!

So a month or so ago I bought a set of scales for our set up shop. They used to be the Nascar Whelen Modified series scales and this weekend I was able to finally get them out and start using them as we are prepping the Craftsman truck for the SCCA, SIC invitational at Roebling roads in 2 weeks. The first part of the morning started out with setting the scale pads up in the shop and getting them leveled to the floor. After, we got the truck on the scales and re-set for the Roebling race. Cannot wit to get back behind the wheel and let it roll!

I’ll never have this version of my son during race season again. 🥹

Next year, he’ll be different.

He’ll probably be speaking in full sentences. He’ll probably be potty trained. He’ll understand so much more of what’s happening around him. He’ll be a little more independent, a little less baby, and a whole lot more little boy.

And I know I’ll love that version of him just as much.

But this version…

The little boy who toddles around the pits at full speed.
The one who points at every race car and gets excited over every set of wheels.
The one who still needs help for so many little things.
The one whose vocabulary is just beginning to explode.
The one who can make an entire race weekend feel different simply because he’s experiencing it all for the first time.

This was his first real season of growing up at the track.

And I know I’ll never get this version of him back.

That’s the bittersweet part of motherhood. You spend so much time looking forward to who they’re becoming, while quietly wishing you could freeze who they are right now.

So I’m going to soak up the last race of this season.

The messy hair. The little voice. The tiny hands. The toddler chaos. The way he lights up when he sees the cars.

Because next race season, I’ll meet another version of my son.

And I already know I’m going to miss this sweet little boy who was here this year. ❤️🏁
