Well in 2002 my neighbors had a dirt track mini stock for sale and my brother had to have it so he talked my parents into buying it for him, then half way through the season my dad bought a stock car and raced it, then in 2003 my Grandma's bf got him a mini stock, and finally in 2004 my parents bought me my 1st mini stock and I've been racing ever since and love it more than anything! :)
