Dominguez proposing racing mentor program

From Gary Dominguez:

"I am thinking of a new concept to offer Local teenagers. It would involve
an interested teenager (with permission from his or her parents) being
mentored in the duties of working on a race team at Eagle Raceway. By being
mentored, the student would learn the importance of discipline,
responsibility, safety, and procedures.

"The racers of course would not make the mentee a crew chief right off the
bat, but would maybe start as a mud scraper etc. and work their way up to
whatever the racer would feel comfortable allowing him/her to do. Weekly
progress reports would be issued.

"In return, the racer would be helping to attract more outside interest in
racing by way of the mentee's family, friends, and influence, as well as
perhaps giving an opportunity for tomorrow's Kasey Kahnes to be exposed to
this family sport.

"I am looking for racers that would be willing to participate in a program
like this, and would like some input on it. Maybe I am all wet, but I think
it would be a good outlet for some of our young people to shape their
future."
