Today I’m a drag racing fan, here to cheer for my son
His first season as a driver is almost done
I’m out out here in the hot sun
Ice water…floppy hat…check, check
The metal stands are nearly full of people withstanding the heat
Today is more crowded than other race days
He rebuilt and improved his car and now it’s very fast
The team tweaking its performance at each event
shaving off fractions of seconds for the 1/4 mile and upping the mph
He comes alive when he does what he loves
And I can see he’s in his own zone
I recognize that this is his path
People ASK:
Aren’t you afraid for him?
No.
Maybe I lack a negative imagination?
I don’t know
Mainly, I’m grateful he still wants me around!
