So for xmas i gave her my truck and painted up the pink and purple body, and bought her an traxxas esc with reverse and a rtr AE radio. lol, she was like, can I go racing with you. I told her to practice in the street first. So she would go put rocks in the street and practice corning and learning the controls. Then after 4 months of bugging me and asking me if she was ready, I took her to the track. She got like 2 laps in 5 minutes, but now she is up to almost 7 laps now, she is at like 6 laps 5:04minutes. And comes to the races with me every week. She is always turn masheling when people practice and bring their cars to them when the come off the drivers stand. last week, I went to pay for her race and some anonymous person paid for 2 weeks of racing for her.
You're a great Dad!!! Love hearing this story. Next you have to get her into that SC10 4x4 and see how she does. I have to push my kids. Maybe that is my failure....they should pull like your daughter.
