For as long as I can remember my dad has told me many stories from his racing days. He has told me about the many road trips he has taken with his dad, my Papa Jones. Those are my favorite stories, hearing about the special relationship that my dad had with his dad. My dad has always taught me discipline, respect and how to be tough, and he learned those qualities from my Papa Jones. I could go on and on about all the stories I’ve heard from my dad and Papa, but this one is one of my favorites. One time during a race; my dad busted his chin open and my Papa put duct tape on it and said “You’re fine, boy!” This is a picture of my dad and I from 2007 in front of the Blue Springs BMX track. There have been a lot of times over the years where I have gone up to that track with my dad to watch races.
