    well my father and i both finally got to race last night at berlin raceway in marne michigan, i won my heat race by the way.And the short track trucks series was racing there last night .A guy drives in the pits in his ford truck overheating after about two laps because he forgot to top off his radiator after doing some engine work, and asks my dad for help , so he pulls the hood off quickly and the radiator is spewing all over, so my dad tells him he has to pull the radiator cap off if he wants him to top it off.So he does that i come over with the water and start pouring it in (from about four feet away) I tell the guy to start it up and let the water circulate so he does , but he left it in gear . so he starts flying forward, i jump out of the way to avoid having two broken feet, and my dad got knocked onto the engine and rolls all over it for about fifty feet until the guy figures out how to shut the car off. That was some scary shit, and my dad could have died, but he is okay somehow.

    Dang. Glad your pops is okay and you are to. Maybe this is why "full service" at gas stations went away?!

    I think that many people are of the opinion that folks from a certain Irish Catholic family named "Kennedy" should be banned from driving.
