My name is Hank Taylor. I am 11 years old and share a birthday with my online hero DeRocket. I am just getting started with online racing. My time is limited right now because of school but I hope to race more on summer vacation. I kinda fell into the racing thing from birth. When I was little my daddy would take me to the shop put me in the racecar and I just loved standing up in the seat and sawing on the steering wheel.I do some real life racing in karts on dirt.
2009 will be my second full season. To date I have won 8 races. 3 out of the first 7 we have run this year. Next season or 2011 we hope to move on to a racecar just really depends on the economy. The karts are good teachers because you really have to be smooth to be fast. The racecar is where I am really looking forward to going. It is just a natural thing for a Taylor, we have been running around the dirt tracks for decades. I will be the fourth generation in a family thats roots started back in 1955 with my greatgrandpa running his first race. My story at this point is kinda short and hopefully in the years to come it will get bigger and better. Other than the racing I play football and like to bass fish.
I got to meet Darrell a couple of weeks ago. He came to visit us other than the weather for a couple of days it was great. I have also met a couple of other people from Christian racing. 2 Years ago I was baptised and became a member of Glenwood Heights Baptist Church here in Lancaster SC. Thats about all for now. Hope to see you all more during summer vacation and get to race and swap stories with you. Until then be safe and God Bless.
See You At The Track
