Good going Miles Thornton

It's great to see Miles getting a little recognition. He and his dad Richard have been hanging in there for a long time, driving, sleeping, wrenching out of the old van and doing it on a shoe-string.

Also big to RRW and whoever is sending support their way. The Thorntons represent the heart of racing in this country.

Go Miles!

Yep, good kid and family. I remember him when he was the paddock goof riding that bicycle that steered backwards. Good to see him doing so well.

 

Miles and his dad are great - always friendly and determined. Well worth supporting.

 

Good people. I recall that bicycle being almost impossible for anyone over 12 to ride (unless you were Ricky Ford, Ricky seemed to have no problems with it).

 

Very cool! :up:

 

That's because Ricky is already backwards.

 

Good family, great rider.

 

+1

 

Thats great....good kid. He has a little brother too, right?

I remember his dad helping me fix crash damage, at Jennings I think.

Bravo!:up:

 

Nice family that has worked very hard, Glad to see them doing well and being recognized:up:
