Tim, I think that "proud Mom and Dad" may have been Travis and I! If the little boy had on a red Steve Kinser t-shirt, that was Declan. He talked all day about meeting Steve and then when he did, he clammed up and wouldn't say a word! He just stood and stared at him. It was hilarious.
I don't think most people realize how great Steve is with kids. I had a similar experience with my best friend's son about ten years ago. That time it was after a race at Manzanita and there were tons of people waiting to see Steve, but he still took a lot of time talking to a three year old about swimming at the hotel, the shirt he was wearing, how much he enjoyed the races. It was the same with my son. He kept talking to Declan even though he wasn't getting a response. And the smile on Steve's face in the pictures is awesome.
I fell in love with Steve Kinser when I was about my son's age, watching Steve race at Haubstadt, and my feelings have never changed. He is and always will be the best!

Hi Lorri,
No, it wasn't you. I've met you and Travis before and you would have recognized my Travis Whitney T-Shirt I had on! What are your plans for the rest of the year? Couple of Minnesota IRA races, Knoxville Nationals, Cedar Lake in September?
My sprint car addiction started at Wilmot Speedway watching Joe Kristan race. I first saw Steve in about 1984 or so at both Hales Corners and Santa Fe Speedway (both gone now). Another lap and he would have won it on Sunday. I agree, he's a great guy.
Take Care,
Tim

We'll be running the close-to-home IRA races (Britt, Deer Creek, Arlington, Jim Falls, Menomonie, Rice Lake, Superior, Cedar Lake), with a couple "drives" thrown in (Seymour, maybe Oshkosh). Travis may be driving a couple of times for other people, but those aren't definites yet. I'd say the Nationals is a big question mark. The shop is really busy lately, and it's hard for us to get away for that length of time. Who knows though - it's hard to stay away!
