The family is also heavy into auto racing. I drove part time for 6 years in dirt Late Models out of state, then enjoyed a season locally at Colorado National Speedway, when it was a dirt track, in the Sportsman Division. I now work as a promoter for the local auto racing scene, setting up display dates and other gigs for a few of the racing clubs and various owners and drivers. Scott is currently a board member with the Colorado Automobile Racing Club. He has driven for 4 years now in the Modified Coupe division. You all will remember these as the cars that ran at the olde Lakeside Speedway in the 50's - 80's
Mark had been known as the Jr. Flagman at Colorado National and has flagged actual races there as well as at Big Country Speedway in Cheyenne, Wyoming, I-25 Speedway in Pueblo, at El Paso County Speedway in Calhand, Co. and at I-76 Speedway in Ft. Morgan. He had gained a large fan base at each of these tracks and has been lauded by most of the racing community for the great job he has done at these tracks as a guest flagman! He started out with the flags at age 6 at Colorado National and has been doing it to this point. We set up in turn 2 at the track and invite other kids to come over and learn about the flags and have them assist Mark. Mark will bow out once he heads for Job Corp (Update: Mark took over the assistant flagman position in 2011 at Colorado National as a member of the NASCAR Wehlen Series) If you ever attend the races at Colorado National, please stop by over in turn 2 and say hi!. I would love to hear from all my former classmates and friends.
