Learning about racing

I am currently in the process of learning about racing. This may seem weird because I am not at all into sports, let alone into getting dirty or working on cars. However, I have been with my boyfriend for a little over three years now and he has been racing cars since he was eight years old. When I initially began dating him, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when it comes to this hobby of his. ( I mean that in a good way) I have never seen a person more dedicated to something like this before. He has now begun to race a much larger car called a sprint car and therefore I have begun to learn about racing. I have now been going to the race track almost every Friday night for the past three years where I have gotten to see first hand what this sport is really all about. I have learned about what it takes to maintain a sprint car, including the maintenance of the engine, the tires, the frame, the paint, and all the parts in between. I have also learned what a great deal of time and energy it takes to obtain sponsorships to fund his racing hobby. Overall, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much fun it can be to learn about racing. I normally would not consider myself to ever be interested in a hobby such as this, but I am glad that I am and truly have learned a great deal from being involved in with racing. Overall, I feel that I have gained some interesting knowledge about the sport of racing, but also about what it truly means to have a passion for something and my boyfriend definitely has demonstrated his passion for racing.
