\"races_1\"Recently I headed up the road to the Tulare Fairgrounds<\/a> for the World-of-Outlaws Sprint Car Race!<\/a><\/p>\n

Tulare is located in the Central Valley of California, “the nation\u2019s bread basket”. They call it that because of all the agribusiness. And I have some history in Tulare, my family farmed in the valley for generations — they had several big ranches and dairy barns, that’s where I learned to love the dirt.<\/p>\n

I know it sounds strange, but growing up I always looked forward to going to dirt race tracks with my family. I began amateur motorcycle racing and that passion for competition ultimately lead me to build my own cars and form a Sprint Car Team. I still love the dirt and I ride my mountain bike at least 3-days a week in the local mountains.<\/p>\n

I took Matt with me — he’s Arc-Zone\u2019s Director of Video and Graphics. We brought all the gear to video the action. I wanted to share some of the things I love about motor racing and show how it relates to the welding\/metal fabrication market. <\/p>\n

At the track we met up with “Hollywood” Mike Sweeney my friend and former driver in the CRA Sprint Car Series (I talked about him on a previous post)<\/a>. We also met long time friend World of Outlaw driver Jac Haudenschild a superstar in the dirt racing world.<\/a> Picture below: That’s me with Jac– Driver of the City Wide Insulation # R19 Owens-Corning Outlaw Sprint Car in front of his transporter (nice toolbox!)<\/p>\n

\"races_2-1\"We talked about the new cars and old friends. Jac told me he is putting a winged Sprint Car team together for his son Sheldon and he has been fabricating some of the parts needed to get him on the road. <\/p>\n

Jac mentioned our mutual friend and former driver– now TV personality (and part time welder) Brad Doty (also a Hall of Famer) <\/a>was having trouble finding the right remote amp control for his Lincoln TIG machine. Jac suggested I contact Brad and get him dialed in… That will be another post!<\/p>\n

And if you like fast cars look for the video of our trip– we\u2019ll have that ready soon\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
