Highlight: favorite race win, favorite race etc.
I do have several, but the most recent one would be when I got the win at Citrus on 6/9/18 and my grandpa was there. The track allowed the extra time to get him down to get him in the picture. Most likely was his last time @ the track since he is now 92 years old and unfortunately now in a nursing home.
