He was almost 5 in those picks. A little practice, as he was not old enough for the series.

This year he will race the whole season

Thats the way it started for me too - Just washing the cars, then the quads, now they are just getting cars - (thats why my mods are slow going)
I took them to the track when I raced and now my son has the "BUG" - S4 stage 3.
Enjoy them while their young I cant tell you how fast it goes by.

I really appreciate this, My father got me involved in cars at an early age, very similar to this, I had to wash his 1972 cutlass. I am a fanatic now thanks to him. Can't wait to teach my kids the same
