I agree with you 100 percent about my ace watching over me. When we got back to the pits later that day, my cousins were playing by the car and I wanted to put the safety pin in so that they did not knock out the parachute. Well, I did not need to worry because the safety pin was there. If I would have made a pass I would have had no brake and no chute at 130 + mph.

While there have been tough times this year, it will get better. My father is back to 20/40 vision in his right (damaged) eye with contacts, and actually can pass the vision test to be able to race again! I know the sun is gonna shine again, and it will be great indeed!
