This is a VERY hard decision I have had to make and one that was made in the best interests of my family, but I am retiring from racing my Pro Outlaw car. I have been racing for most of my adult life, I grew up in a family that had fast cars and also raced. I went to my first drag strip in 1968 , I was hooked immediately !!! I learned from my uncles by watching them work on their cars and helping when I could, changed my first clutch when I was 15 years old, heck the transmission weighed more than I did,hahhaha I was very lucky that my hobby turned into my profession ( auto mechanic ) and it never got boring after all those years. I will still be on the internet like all the other old farts and still will be helping others , just will not own a race car. I hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and talk to you soon, Mike McCarthy
