Stop in for a cup of coffee

I do the same, zero hopes of winning anything as it is clearly a track car, I enter it just to show folks there's is a whole other side to the hobby. If a kid shows interest I always let him sit in the car strap in the harness and pose for a photo. I mean really, what can they tear up? Toggle switch dash and a racing seat! And you never know that kid might just develop a passion for our hobby.

That exact statement was given to my son at Road America for the classics races a bunch of years ago. He got to sit in the Nicky Chevrolet Can Am car. The guy also asked if he wanted to ride in it through the paddock out to the starting line the next day. Unfortunately we couldn't attend that day. He said to us "He is our hobby's future...maybe this will spark interest in the hobby..."
