    The pressure on Ayden must be enormous, he has big shoes to fill. Not easy to follow the steps of a successful dad. At the same time he has the best teacher, a calm and loving one. Best of luck for your first drag week Ayden.

    My whole life I've wanted to build a car with my day and go racing, but he never bothered to care about my hobbies or anything really. What you're doing with Aiden is awesome. I'd love to have the opportunity and the involved parents that he has.
