I know a handful of you guys keep up with my son's racing adventures. Here is the latest chapter. 600CC Micro Sprints. This is his first time on a dirt track in a sprint car. We had a blast and will be adding this to his schedule for the remainder of the year. Anybody interested can find updates here - https://www.facebook.com/benjmaier/

We've has a blast doing this racing thing for the past 6 years. Doesn't leave much time for boating though!!!

Jim, good video. That's the kind of stuff that gives a puffed out, button bustin' proud papa a thrill.

Thanks for sharing it.
 
That's awesome Jim. My son raced karts for about 8 years until about 2012. Ran a few WKA Man Cup events in Yamaha Jr. Can and TaG.

In 2008 he got to drive a Star Mazda Pro Formula car around BeaveRun. He had just turned 15 a month earlier. He did 2 2 lap sessions. The first session he hit 119 MPH. The 2nd session they didn't give us the data but he ran 1 second faster so we are guessing the run in this video he hit about 125 MPH. But girls got to be more important to him so he lost interest in racing.
 
He is 9 now. Already a 2 time national champ in 2 cycle karting and is leading points this year for 3 more championships (there are three different touring series). We are in deep...

boatman37, that looks pretty awesome. I don't think we'll go the formula car route because of how expensive it is.

That's really cool. It amazes me how you and Beth can seemingly fit 36 hours in a 24 hour day. To make family activity time with everything else you manage is super impressive. Thanks for sharing!
 
Yeah Jim, it was too expensive for us too but the guy that owned that car/team let him run it that day. It was his first time on that track and first time in a full sized car (and the first time he ever had to shift gears...lol)
 
Well Jim, you could move him into boat racing then you can boat as well. Future Unlimited Hydro driver?
