Photos from Cassidy Hinds Racing's post You see a spoiled kid in a race car who gets whatever she wants.
I see a kid that spends all of her birthday and Christmas money on new parts.
You see a carefree kid that does as she pleases.
I see a kid who has always worked and has done what she could to help pay for weekly racing expenses.
I see a girl that doesn't play school sports like softball, basketball, tennis, track, cheerleading or Pom’s because it takes away from racing. She will miss school functions with her friends because she will be at the track chasing her dreams.
You see a "show off”, who needs an $800 helmet anyway!?
I see a kid in a dangerous sport. One that takes her own life into her hands every time she hits the track. One who has been sick as can be at times but still wants to race and does so!! A kid who never gives up when the odds are against her. Who holds herself to a higher standard than anyone else holds her too.
I see a kid that not only has to go to school but she also has extra classes you don't know about. A kid who spends countless hours in the garage learning and working on her own car with her dad.
You see a hoodlum in a race car who has no business driving a car at her age.
I see a kid who just raced a 20, 30, 40 or 50 lap A main. Who never gives up and always wants to go one more lap.
You see a family who loads up in that truck and trailer and is gone for days at a time. Ignoring the lawn, the mail, the newspaper. They never show up for parties or events and they are obviously to stuck on themselves to even wave when they drive by.
I see a family who loves each other more than words can explain, a family that pours everything they have into their daughter. We eat, sleep and breath racing. We would love a real vacation but unfortunately there is no off season in what we do. We didn't wave at you because we were looking at the track, thinking those bumps have become dangerous and thanking God nobody was hurt. We are sorry. We like parties. We like you. We would even like to send Christmas cards but to tell the truth, they wouldn't be ready to mail until about August, so we just skip it.
You see Crazy.
We see race life.
Are we crazy for doing this?
Or are you crazy for not?
It’s what we do, we race!
Thank you Tyler Smith Racing (2017) that says it all!! I made some changes to the original version. ... See more
